Counter Knife

Bladedancer-Warden hybrid that counters with knives. Every counterattack triggers knife throws for insane retaliatory damage.

Overview

Counter Knife combines Bladedancer’s knife scaling with Warden’s counter system. Every counterattack throws doubled knives (Mirror Knife), each with Blade Master’s escalating damage. Stalwart gives 35% chance to counter again, meaning a single enemy attack can trigger cascading knife storms. Reprisal adds AoE from absorbed damage on top.

Core Skills (Priority Order)

  1. Throwing Knife (Common) - Base knife system.
  2. Mirror Knife (Mythic, S+) - Double all knife throws, including on counters.
  3. Blade Master (Mythic, S+) - Bladedancer capstone. Escalating knife damage.
  4. Counterstrike Mastery (Legendary, S) - Counter chance + lifesteal.
  5. Cross Counter (Mythic, S+) - Counter + heal at low HP.
  6. Stalwart (Legendary, A) - 35% chance to counter again after countering.
  7. Reprisal (Mythic, S+) - Warden capstone. Absorbed damage → AoE.

Supporting Skills

  • Rapid Throw (Legendary) - Knives every turn.
  • Knife Expert (Legendary) - Knife chain scaling.
  • Knightshade (Mythic) - Massive crit for Bladedancer.
  • Iron Will (Mythic) - Damage reduction to survive and counter more.

Strategy Tips

  • Every enemy attack is a chance to counter → throw doubled knives → escalating damage.
  • Stalwart chains mean one attack can trigger 2-3 counter rounds of knife storms.
  • Reprisal adds AoE cleanup while knives handle single-target.
  • Cross Counter healing + Counterstrike Mastery lifesteal = great sustain.
