High Counter being triggered in Persona 5 Royal.
High Counter (ハイパーカウンタ, Haipaa Kaunta)? is a Passive skill.
Effect[]
In the Persona series, High Counter automatically grants the user a high chance of being defended from a physical attack and reflecting it back at the attacker.
Like the other Counter skills, High Counter cannot stack with other Counter skills, and will override Counter and Counterstrike if said skills are still in a moveset.
In Persona 5, the skill can also reflect Gun Skills, unlike Repel Physical. However, it does not protect the user from repelled attacks. When performing gun attacks, each individual round has a chance to be reflected by High Counter, in which case the user's turn will immediately end. The reflection granted by High Counter cannot be ignored by Oda Special.
In the Digital Devil Saga duology, High Counter grants the user a good chance to instantly make an attack against any physical skill or regular attack that hits them. Unlike in Persona, High Counter can stack with other Counter skills such as Counter and Counterstrike, and these passives will work in Human Form.
