Corrin utilizes his Dragon Fang for this attack, morphing into his dragon form to stomp the ground with both front feet as they retaliate (akin to their down throw). The move deals more knockback when the counterattack hits as early as possible, making its hitbox akin to a [[sex kick]]. | ||

Upon Corrin's debut and prior to the [[1.1.5]] patch, the move's damage multiplier was originally 1.3x. By virtue of its nearly purely vertical knockback, this made it easily the strongest non-custom counter in the game in terms of KO power (surpassing even {{SSB4|Shulk}}'s [[Vision]] and {{SSB4|Roy}}'s [[Counter]]), being capable of [[OHKO]]ing after countering a hitbox dealing at least 33% damage, a lower requirement than any other counter move (apart from the [[custom special move]] [[Power Vision]], which can OHKO with a hitbox dealing only 30% damage). In the 1.1.5 update, the damage multiplier was reduced to 1.2x and the counter window of the move was reduced, making it less powerful and more in line with the other aforementioned counters. | Upon Corrin's debut and prior to the [[1.1.5]] patch, the move's damage multiplier was originally 1.3x.

In 2020, Counter Surge was introduced into the ''Fire Emblem'' series proper in ''{{s|fireemblemwiki|Fire Emblem Heroes}}'', in which it is a special skill that is exclusive to the "Child of Dusk" Legendary Hero version of female Corrin. When the skill is charged, it reduces the damage that Corrin will take from the next incoming attack from an enemy by 30%, then powers up the next attack that Corrin will make (often a counter-attack to that attack) by 30% | In 2020, Counter Surge was introduced into the ''Fire Emblem'' series proper in ''{{s|fireemblemwiki|Fire Emblem Heroes}}'', in which it is a special skill that is exclusive to the "Child of Dusk" Legendary Hero version of female Corrin.
