Warrior Monk — Counterstrike

Counterstrike completely blocks a physical attack, then strikes the attacker for high damage. It requires any melee weapon. This Tier 3 option is mutually exclusive with Flash Onslaught, which instead attacks all nearby enemies and consumes Discipline.

How it works

The source lists a 600-silver cost, 12 stamina cost, and 100-second cooldown. It is an advanced Warrior Monk skill and therefore requires that tree’s Breakthrough under the general tier rules. The supplied text describes a physical attack as its trigger.

When it helps

Consider it when a complete block and retaliation suit your timing better than an area attack.

The tradeoff

Choosing it locks out Flash Onslaught.

Your next step

Keep the physical-attack trigger in mind when deciding when to activate it.
