Counter Attack is a skill in New World MMORPG. Effect: When you block an attack, gain a stack of Empower, granting a 3% damage increase for 5s. Can stack up to 5 times..
Counter Attack is a very nice passive from the Straight Sword skill line in the New World MMORPG. If you successfully block the enemy's hit, you receive a temporary damage buff for your next attack. But the bonus will disappear after you attack the foe even if the attack wasn't successful.
If you want to benefit from this passive you will have to pay attention to your actions a lot. A successful block gives you a damage buff, but you have to select a proper timing for your next attack in order to benefit from that buff. If you miss or if the enemy blocks your hit, the boost will disappear.
This ability is great because it empowers your attack even if it's an ability.
