Forspokencombat guide: How to use the Cuff Counter or counter attack
The Cuff Counter or counter attack inForspokenis a defensive maneuver that can save you in a bind. Basically, Cuff, your own sentient armband, is able to automatically block enemy hits. This, however, can only occur at intervals. Moreover, the damage is only partially mitigated, which means your character will still lose a bit of HP.
As for counters, all you need to do is wait for an enemy to attempt a strike, which would get blocked by Cuff. You should see a golden shield flash around your character. You should see a prompt appear in the lower-left corner of your screen, so press the “F” key when you spot it. This will cause your character to do a Cuff Counter, which causes an area-of-effect (AoE) blast that hits multiple targets near you.

Be forewarned that the Cuff Counter or a counter attack isn’t always advisable or usable. Here are the situations that you’ll want to be wary of:
Forspokenis available viaSteam.
