Counterattack (Japanese:応撃Response attack) is anability which was introduced inFire Emblem: Three Houses. As its name suggests, the ability allows units to counterattack foes, even if the user'srange would not normally allow them to do so. It is most commonly seen equipped by theDeath Knight and many other lategame bosses who lack natural means of ranged combat, in order to prevent the player from landing a free attack on them without risk of retaliation.

Although the skill can only be learned by one playable unit, it can also be bestowed on units temporarily by use of theRetribution gambit. The skill can also be granted as a passive ability for a unit equipped with theChalice of Beginnings.

InFire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes, the skill can only be obtained byRhea and Jeritza by fully mastering their respective personal classes, or by equipping the Chalice of Beginnings, and deals all non-lethal damage its user takes back to the attacker.
