When an adversary strikes is the best time to counterstrike. Light weapons allow the practiced fighter to use the opportunity of an attack to gain the chance of a counter attack.

Description

This skill allows you to riposte attacks with certain weapons. Unlike Parry, this only works with melee attacks and does not prevent the attack from harming you. However, it does provide a flat 10% chance to counterattack, landing a free attack on the enemy.

If you have the Dual Wield skill, it's possible to riposte with weapons in the left hand as well. Dual wielding riposte weapons gives a second chance to riposte each attack.
