Counter Surge is Corrin's down special. It operates similarly to many a counter special move, but it bears several distinctions unique to it. It launches opponents on a vertical trajectory, defends Corrin from front and back with water surges as forceful as the countered attack and each other, and Corrin outright evades the attack rather than absorbing it, meaning that nearby opponents can be hit by the missed attacks. Corrin utilizes their Dragon Fang for this attack, morphing into manakete form as they retaliate.
Origin
Counter Surge 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 range. Corrin in particular can learn the skill itself in their home game by reclassing into the Oni Savage class tree, and their use of their manakete form is reminiscent of their attack pattern while equipped with a dragonstone.
