Counter (カウンター, Counter) is Palutena's down special move.
Overview
Palutena uses her shield to catch an opponent's attack. 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 counterattacks 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.
Customization
Special Move customization was added in Super Smash Bros. 4. These are the variations:
| 1. Counter | 2. Lightweight | 3. Celestial Firework |
|---|---|---|
 |
 |
 |
| "Prepare for an opponent's attack, and strike back when struck." | "Makes you lighter and significantly faster, but you'll also be easier to launch as a result." | "Shoot a firework into the air. The firework explodes when hit or after a short time." |
Origin
