Tips and Details

  • Holding the skill will allow Elsword to hold his counter stance up to 5 seconds.
    • Holding the skill does not cost any MP but is not indefinite, unlike Guard.
  • The counter will not actually negate melee damage, but will still perform a counter attack.
  • Despite being called Magic Counter, it can counter physical attacks as well.


Trivia

  • There is no visual "reflect barrier" visible in this skill, unlike Counter Attack. Elsword also lacks the question mark when nothing hits him during the counter.
  • The skill reuses the icon from Counter Attack.


Old Version

Video Description
Between its initial release and the 06/28/2018 KR Patch, Magic Counter did not contain a counter attack and would reflect magic projectiles.
