Khazan: Counterattack & Reflection Mastery

Mastering defense can be pivotal for victory in The First Berserker: Khazan. Since stamina management limits constant aggression, well-timed blocks force enemies to exhaust themselves while you strike back. If you're struggling with Counterattack and Reflection mechanics, this guide breaks down their execution.

Counterattack Guide for The First Berserker: Khazan

Counterattack is among the earliest defensive skills unlocked. While normal Brink Guard blocks most attacks, Burst Attacks—devastating moves signaled by flashing icons—require this technique.

Execute Counterattack (L1+Circle/LB+B) precisely as enemy strikes connect. Perfect timing not only nullifies damage but replenishes stamina and staggers foes—critical against bosses like The Viper.

Mastering Reflection Technique

Unlike Brink Guard, Reflection (L1+Triangle/LB+Y) converts defense into offense—essential against late-game bosses. Time Khazan's weapon swing to interrupt enemy attacks.

Successful Reflections deal massive stamina damage while stunning opponents. Upgrades enhance health damage and tighten execution windows, but mistimed attempts punish your stamina severely.
