I apologise if this has been asked often...


Im interested in learning if conterattack is as effective as dodge if its capped.


Thanks in advance,

Dodge activates a great deal more than Counterattack, even if both have the exact same number (say...capped each)


Counterattack is broken that way, also in the way it's supposed to counter with a free attack, this it does not do.

I agree with OnlyMaestro. I believe the original vision of counterattack was to have it not go off as often as dodge, because we were to get a free attack in when it went off. But the attack is broken, so counterattack is inferior to dodge, instead of being somewhat balanced. Less percent chance to go off, but does an attack when it does go off.
