After being physically attacked, Counter materia gives its owner the chance to strike back with an automatic physical attack of their own. Once mastered, they will always counterattack. The effect is triggered even if they were hit by Covering an ally.
Combo tactics
Counter Attack is independent materia, and so takes no benefit from linked slots. It does have one particularly interesting combo, though: If a character has multiple Counter Attack materia, they will each trigger a counterattack.
