Is Counterattack Worth Taking?
- Needs a prerequisite
- You have to learn Perfect Riposte first.
- Opens a path
- 1 later skill sit behind it, so spending here also unlocks what comes next.
- Manual-gated
- Skill Points alone are not enough: levels above the free ones also need Counterattack Manual.
These are the gates and follow-ups the game data confirms, not a ranking. Which skill is worth it depends on the build you are already running.
