Comparable to Counter Attack, but more versatile. After being physically attacked, Counter materia gives its owner the chance to strike back automatically with an action of their own. Once mastered, they will always counter. The effect is triggered even if they were hit by Covering an ally.
Combo tactics
Counter supports most command materia, attacking with the strongest action its partner provides. As Enemy Skill and Master Command both require further input (choosing the skill), they cannot be linked to Counter.
