Darkcounter is a dark based skill available in Dragon's Dogma.
Description[]
- "Sends foes staggering back when the user blocks an attack. A perfect block conjures a dark pall that afflicts enemies with Torpor."
Upgrades to Abyssal Riposte. With Dark Arisen, it becomes Desecration Feint with a relevant Magick Shieldsman's Band equipped.
Darkcounter is unusual amongst all the riposte and counter spells in that its riposte does no damage, only debilitates (with torpor) - the initial perfect block will damage a melee attacker - when upgraded to Abyssal Riposte the dark shockwave does magick damage as well.
Notes[]
- See also: Mystic Knight Shield Counters
- For notes, tactics, and damage of this class of spells, see Abyssal Riposte.
- (Glitch) In Dark Arisen transitioning between areas with this skill active will randomly add a debilitation. The next enemy hit will be debilitated on the first hit. For details see the notes in Mystic Knight Shield Counters.
