Notes/DescriptionEdit

• Will only activate if a hit is taken (even from 0 damage) from the front with your weapon drawn.
• All defensive job abilities and skills (except potentially Shield) must be exhausted before Retaliation will take effect, and Retaliation will not negate or otherwise affect damage taken.
• Unlike Counter, you gain TP from both the Retaliation swing and the damage you take to trigger the swing.

• Like Counter,
  • Retaliation depends on Accuracy; Only retaliations that hit show up in the log (Exception: Perfect Dodge).
  • You can perform a critical hit on a retaliation, but it will not show a critical hit animation or give a different log message.
  • Additional effects such as HP drain from Drain Samba do not occur on retaliation.
  • Double Attack & Triple Attack can not occur on retaliation.
  • You cannot retaliate a Weapon Skill or Ranged Attack.
  • You can gain weapon skill ups from Retaliation attacks.

• Currently unknown if anything affects the activation rate. The base rate seems to be 40-50% before hit rate.
• Appears to have similar movement decrease as one "Dusk" equipment (e.g. Dusk Gloves).
• Retaliation is considered slashing damage even if wearing a non slashing weapon such as a polearm. There is some debate on this topic: (see testimonials)
