Trait
Flash Counter
Blocking damage after raising your guard emits a short-range blast that disorients targets.
Overview
Flash Counter is a Season 10 Legendary sword trait. Blocking damage after raising your guard emits a short-range blast that disorients nearby targets. Blocking melee damage immediately after raising your guard also weakens the attacker.
Swords
It rolls on many Swords, including Aurora Dawn, Just in Case and Thin Precipice. Abyssal Edge was the first sword to get Flash Counter, and it pairs the trait with Redirection: blocking incoming damage creates a blast that counts as hitting enemies, which grants Redirection stacks without using ammo.
