Counter Blitz — Season 5 Universal Mechanic
Counter Blitz Basics
On counter hit, the game enters slowdown. With Psych Burst gauge available, input Counter Blitz for a follow-up attack consuming burst gauge. This replaces Wild Assault from Seasons 1–4.
Blitz routes vary by character — some gain corner send, others get combo extensions. Lab in Training Mode with forced counter hit settings.
Burst Gauge Economy
Psych Burst serves defensive burst AND Counter Blitz offense. Overspending on Blitz leaves you vulnerable to opponent burst. High-level play balances CH Blitz pressure with keeping burst for defense.
Meta Impact in Season 5
Characters with easy CH starters gained new reward layers. Old WA-dependent characters received direct buffs or compensations in 5.00 notes. Review your main in the Version 2.00 visual guide.
