If an attack connects, the shield will defend Palutena while she forcefully thrusts her staff out to retaliate. Upon guarding, Palutena's shield emits a blue ring of light and a blue wave resembling a heartbeat appears behind her, much like other [[counterattack]]s in ''Smash 4''. This counterattack deals 1.3x the damage of the countered attack, with a 10% [[damage]] minimum and a 50% damage maximum cap. Dealing the maximum damage with this move (which would require countering an attack dealing at least ~38.5% damage) is a [[one-hit KO]]. | ||
Unfortunately, this move has one of the longest start-up durations of all Counter moves, with the counter window not being active until frame 10. It also suffers from high ending lag, which leaves Palutena highly vulnerable to punishment after the counter window is no longer active; the entire animation takes 75 frames to play. The counterattack itself suffers from low knockback statistics, especially at the sourspot, and as a result, is one of the weakest counterattacks in the game. | |||

Counter is a stat-based power that [[Pit]] or a {{s|icaruspedia|fighter}} can wield in ''Kid Icarus: Uprising''. Using that power, the user will be under its effect temporarily. During the time the power is active, any attack that lands will be retaliated. This power also prevents knockback. | |||
