Notes[edit]

  • While having the minor trait Attacker's Insight equipped, only successfully hitting a foe with the counterattack (activated automatically after absorbing an attack) resets the cooldown of the current F1 burst skill.
  • Your character will occasionally shout one of the following lines upon activating this skill:
    • Come and get me!
    • I'm ready; are you?
    • Not now, not ever.
    • Try me.
  • Your character will occasionally shout one of the following lines upon counterattacking:
    • Back at you!
    • Counterattack!
    • Your actions are foolish!
    • Ha!
