*When a counter is successful, Elsword will slash forward, knocking enemies down, which is detrimental in both PvE and PvP. If you want to counter a projectile, it is best to keep your distance, so the reflected projectile will hit the enemy for full damage.
*Holding the skill will allow Elsword to hold his counter stance longer.
**This slash deals physical damage, although the damage is not listed on the skill itself.
**Holding the skill does not cost any MP but is not indefinite unlike [[Guard]] or [[Block]].
*This skill requires extremely precise timing, having only a few active counter frames, less than half a second long.
*Elsword will not actually counter but only reflect projectiles back, he'll continue to hold his stance and reflect any other projectile that comes his way.
**Visually, the counter will only succeed when an attack hits you right before Elsword stops holding his sword in front of him. The counter will fail at any other point in the skill, even if attacks hit you while the animation shows Elsword clearly guarding.
**There is a chance he will instead receive hitstun as if he were hit, no damage is taken and the projectile is still reflected. This will end the skill.
*The reflected projectile applies [[Magic Chain]] and both apply and activates [[Sword Enchant]].
