History of Counterattack

Overview

Counterattack is a Legendary Trait from Season 7. Blocking an attack right after guarding increases the weapon's damage by 50% for a short duration.

The wiki gives the duration as 2 seconds. Patch 2.8.0 shortened it from 5 seconds and changed the activation requirements. The wiki does not give the patch date, so the change is recorded here as 2.8.0 only. The exact guard window is not given.

It rolls on about 10 weapons (see the Rolls on list), including Sola's Scar (Adept) and Throne-Cleaver.

Notes

Patch 2.8.0: duration 5 s to 2 s and activation changed (per the wiki). Source read: Destiny 2 Wiki (single source). Check later patch notes before relying on the 2-second value.
