Talk:Lance Counter

Rank 3 has double "Counter an enemy's special attack" in the training list

it should be "Watch an enemy use Counterattack."

since i am new to wiki and dont want to edit stuff, i can only inform it to you seniors. thx

Just to be sure, this means normal counter?

Watch an enemy use counter = trigger the enemy counter with a melee attack. It also trains normal counter attack.

I know that. What I'm asking is if it works on normal Counterattack because the only enemy who knows Lance Counter is Lileas.

Yes it applies to normal counter.

Sure its 2 seconds? Feels more like 4...

Yeah, it DOES feel like four... And I've been using it quite a lot.

Does it even tell the standby time in the game's code? Or was that a rough estimate?

Time to get the timer and test this...

Don't pray to Morrighan. She'll lag you =3

Recorded myself and the stand by is approximately rounded out to 2 seconds.

Exact time of recorded footage was 2.45s if you wanted to know.

Geh, I guess it's just latency.

Bringing this back up: Standby time should be 3 seconds...

Oh wait, I didn't count the full animation. It's 3....timer says "2.97s"

The timer should have been at least 3 seconds. Using *coughcough* methods, the skill automatically cancels 3 seconds after it finishes loading (with a few more milliseconds because of delay/lag).

Lag: the enemy of all things related to timing.

Critical Rate may actually be Critical Damage. :l

I don't know if it's critical damage instead of critical rate, but from what I'm seeing, crit only applies the monsters critical hit skill, not your own. Not sure if that helps in, well, any way, but that's what I've seen over my year and a half as a lancer.

“	Like normal Counterattack, the Critical Hit chance for Lance Counter depends solely on the target's Critical rate, plus the skill's Critical Hit bonus. Player's base Critical rate is ignored.	„

Can that explain this?

2374	Critical Damage

That was a reply to Marith.

What were you countering to get that number?

That wasn't a damage, it was a row from the localization files.

Anyone know what happens to the animation when the load time disappears? Is it still there?

I'm assuming its the same, just lets you counter when you crouch down.
