In *The First Berserker: Khazan*, mastering defensive techniques like Counterattack and Reflection can be pivotal to your success.

Counterattack is one of the initial defensive skills you'll unlock in *The First Berserker: Khazan*. While you can dodge or guard most attacks with precise timing, there's a special type of attack known as a Burst Attack that you can't block with Brink Guard. These are potent moves signaled by a flashing symbol and a unique sound effect, indicating it's time to prepare your Counterattack.

To execute a Counterattack, press L1+Circle/LB+B. Timing is crucial here; it's not just about inputting the command but syncing it perfectly with the enemy's attack impact. Mastering this timing is essential. A successful Counterattack not only prevents damage to you but also replenishes your stamina and staggers the enemy, opening a window for you to deal significant damage. Use this against enemies with Burst Attacks, like The Viper, to gain the upper hand.

While Brink Guard is a solid option for dodging damage, Reflection offers a unique advantage by allowing you to deal damage while staying protected. This skill becomes indispensable against tougher bosses later in the game, providing a crucial window for counterattacks.

To perform Reflection, press L1+Triangle/LB+Y, initiating a short animation where Khazan swings his weapon. The key to a successful Reflection is timing your swing to intersect with the enemy's attack. This not only inflicts substantial stamina damage but also stuns the enemy. Upgrades can enhance Reflection by adding health damage and shortening the animation for more precise timing. However, missing the timing can result in health and stamina damage to you. Remember, Reflection won't work against Burst Attacks or grabs, so choose your moments wisely.

With these tips, you're now equipped to master Counterattack and Reflection in The First Berserker: Khazan. For more guidance on the game, be sure to visit The Escapist.
