Activates After Being Thrown Off

Monster Hunter Rise - Counterstrike Skill.gif

Counterstrike only activates when you get thrown off or get sent flying by an attack. It lasts for 30 seconds right after you get thrown off. It also refreshes the timer every time you get thrown off, putting it back to 30 seconds. You'll know the effect is no longer active when the flashing sword icon beside your name disappears.
