On another note, the Counter skill in the Fire Emblem games only works if the user still lives (and doesn't take Dual Strike damage)... so players never have to worry about attacking a "voodoo doll" of their units.

Counter is based on a core element of ''Fire Emblem'' gameplay: in all games of the series, when a unit attacks another unit, the targeted unit will perform a counter-attack to strike back at their attacker if they currently have an equipped weapon with a compatible {{s|fireemblemwiki|range}}.<ref>[http://www.sourcegaming.info/2015/12/13/sakurai-fe25/ Source Gaming: "Sakurai Interview: Fire Emblem 25th Anniversary"]</ref> | Counter is based on a core element of ''Fire Emblem'' gameplay: in all games of the series, when a unit attacks another unit, the targeted unit will perform a counter-attack to strike back at their attacker if they currently have an equipped weapon with a compatible {{s|fireemblemwiki|range}}.<ref>[http://www.sourcegaming.info/2015/12/13/sakurai-fe25/ Source Gaming: "Sakurai Interview: Fire Emblem 25th Anniversary"]</ref> | ||
Additionally, ''[[fireemblemwiki:Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance|Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance]]'' introduced the identically-named {{s|fireemblemwiki|Counter}} [[fireemblemwiki:Skills|skill]], which | Additionally, ''[[fireemblemwiki:Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance|Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance]]'' introduced the identically-named {{s|fireemblemwiki|Counter}} [[fireemblemwiki:Skills|skill]], which returns an amount of damage dealt to the skill's user to the enemy. The skill does not exist in Marth or Roy's native games, however, and their appearance in ''Melee'' predates its introduction. In both of Ike's games the Counter skill can be assigned to him through the use of the [[fireemblemwiki:Skill items|Counter scroll item]]. Through re-classing to the {{s|fireemblemwiki|Warrior}} class, Marth, Roy and Ike can all obtain the Counter skill as {{s|fireemblemwiki|bonus units}} in ''{{s|fireemblemwiki|Fire Emblem Awakening}}''; however, Lucina is unable to obtain Counter under any circumstances, as it is exclusive to male units, and her father, Chrom, cannot pass it down to her either, both because he doesn't have access to the Warrior class and because Aether is the only skill he can pass down to his daughters even if he did. | ||
