Counter Effect

You can find a video tutorial for Counter Effects ▶ here.

A Counter Effect is a Redirector that triggers another Effect in response to an incoming Effect, after that Effect was processed.

Its pre-stage counterpart is the Intervener Effect, which responds before the Effect lands and can block it.

It allows gameplay mechanics such as counterattacks, retaliation, chain effects, and reactive abilities by dispatching a new Effect when its conditions are satisfied.

Counter Effect Signature

Fields

This Stat inherits all fields from Redirector.

Field	Description
Use Rate	Triggers the Counter Effect based on probability. A random value in the range 0–1 is generated, and the Counter Effect is triggered only if it is less than the configured rate.
Use Stat Use Rate	Uses a Stat instead of a predefined rate value.
Use Rate Stat	The Float Stat that provides the trigger probability.
Rate Value	The predefined probability value used when Use Stat Use Rate is disabled.
Trigger On	Which outcomes it fires for: Applied (default), Blocked (the incoming Effect was blocked by a Processor, e.g. Immune), or both.
Additional Effects	More Effects fired on the same trigger, each with its own Effect Pack, target (Redirection Target and its fields), source (Redirected Effect Source and its fields) and Override Target Environment. The checks and the rate are evaluated once; the Stat's own pack goes out first, then each entry in order. See Several Effects On One Trigger below.

Several Effects On One Trigger

When the same conditions should affect different Actors with different Effects — for example shatter the struck foe and blast its allies — use one Stat with Additional Effects instead of several Stats that copy the same conditions. The Stat's own Effect Pack and targeting is the first Effect; each entry adds one more with its own Effect Pack, target and source.

Entries take an Effect Pack asset directly, so an Effect that changes the Stat's value (its own pack) does not change them.
