One of the initial defensive skills you'll unlock in the game is Counterattack. While you can guard or dodge most attacks with precise timing, there's a type of attack known as Burst Attacks that you can't use Brink Guard against. These powerful moves from enemies cause significant stamina and health damage. You'll know a Burst Attack is coming when you see a flashing symbol and hear a unique sound effect on your screen. This is your signal to prepare for a Counterattack.

To execute a Counterattack, use the inputs L1+Circle/LB+B, but remember, timing is crucial. It's not just about inputting the command; you need to align the Counterattack animation with the moment the enemy's attack hits. Mastering this timing is essential. A successful Counterattack not only prevents you from taking damage but also replenishes your stamina and staggers the enemy, providing a window for you to deal substantial damage. Keep this move ready for enemies with Burst Attacks, like The Viper, to make your battles smoother.

While Brink Guard is a reliable way to avoid damage, Reflection offers another layer of defense with the added benefit of dealing damage. This skill becomes indispensable against tougher bosses later in the game, providing a window for retaliation when executed correctly. To perform Reflection, press L1+Triangle/LB+Y, which triggers a short animation of Khazan swinging his weapon at a target.

The key to a perfect Reflection is timing the swing to coincide with an enemy's attack animation. A successful hit will cause significant stamina damage and stun the enemy. Upgrades can enhance Reflection by adding health damage and shortening the animation window for more precise execution. However, mastering the timing is essential, as a missed Reflection will result in both health and substantial stamina damage, putting you at a disadvantage. Remember, Reflection cannot be used against Burst Attacks or grabs, so choose your moments wisely.

Now you're fully equipped with the knowledge of how to use Counterattack and Reflection in *The First Berserker: Khazan*. For more tips and guides, be sure to check out The Escapist.
