Tips and Details

  • Even if you don't counter any attack, Elsword will still swing his swords.
  • It is rather poor at countering certain attacks due to the very short counter window.
  • Despite being an Active, Phantom Sword applies to the second hit of this skill.


Trivia

  • The Conwell sword will still be in its sheath during the counter stance.


Old Version

  • In the past, Compact Counter was not its own skill and was previously a passive which permanently affected Counter Attack once unlocked.
