Job Ability

• Allows you to counterattack but reduces movement speed.
• Obtained: Warrior Level 60
• Recast Time: 3:00
• Duration: 3:00
• Distance: Self

Notes/Description Will only activate if a hit is taken, using Utsusemi: Ichi, Utsusemi: Ni or Blink will negate the effects of Retaliation. Currently unknown what, if anything, can alter the activation rate. Like Counter, you can retaliate against any attack directed at your front arc, even from mobs with which you are not engaged, so long as your weapon is drawn. Unlike Counter, you will still take damage with Retaliation. You do get TP from retaliating, & you also get TP from the hit you take. You can gain weapon skill ups from Retaliation attacks. Appears to have similar movement decrease as one Dusk item (e.g. Dusk Gloves). You can perform a critical hit on a retaliation, even though it will not show a critical hit animation (tested with Mighty Strikes). Additional effects such as HP drain from Drain Samba do not occur on a Retaliated hit. Will only generate 1 attack per hit taken. Double Attack & Triple Attack will not occur on a retaliation attack. Technically, retaliation has a 100% Hit Rate Accuracy, with the exception of when a Mob has Perfect Dodge up, in which it will miss. Will not retaliate Weapon Skill or Ranged Attack. Can simultaneously retaliate multiple attacks directed from Double Attack, Dual Wield, Hand-to-Hand, or Triple Attack at the same round of attack, generating multiple retaliated attacks within 1 attack round.
