#HOW TO USE PS4 CONTROLLER ON BATMAN ARKHAM KNIGHT PC UPGRADE#
In Arkham Origins, there's an upgrade called Critical Counter that can only be performed when the enemies' attacks are very close to hitting. In Arkham Asylum, projectiles and blade attacks were marked with red icons because they were not counterable in later games, projectiles became counterable, while blade attacks could be dealt with with the Blade Dodge Takedown mentioned above. They include electricity-based attacks (using Stun Batons, shock gauntlets, or Electric Currents), shield attacks, gunfire, and attacks by large bosses such as Albert King and Killer Croc, and some attacks by Bane, too. Other uncounterable attacks are signaled by red counter icons: they cannot be countered in any way and has to be dealt with by various ways. These attacks include blade attacks from henchmen, and blade attacks swung from below by ninjas and combat experts. These attacks include punches, kicks, hits with blunt Weapons or projectiles, and blade attacks swung from above by ninjas and Combat Experts.Īn uncounterable blade attack is signaled by a yellow counter icon: it cannot be countered (therefore, adds no combat variation), and can only be dealt with by an evasion, a Blade Dodge, or a Blade Dodge Takedown. In Asylum, counter icons are disabled in hard mode in City and later games, counter icons are only disabled in New Game + mode and Origins's I Am the Night mode.Ī counterable attack is signaled by a blue counter icon: it can easily be countered by pressing the counter button. However, in Arkham City onwards, during Predator Mode, counters can be used against henchmen who are unable to use their guns for whatever reason, and can quickly take out even Armored Henchmen.ĭue to its importance, an icon in the shape of lightning bolts appears around the head of an enemy to signal the counterability of their incoming attack. In Arkham City and later games, up to three enemies can be countered simultaneously (which adds up to three multipliers at once), and the counters are much more powerful that they can blast a henchman onto another, while also having a wider range.Ĭounters are usually used in combat situations. In Arkham Asylum, only one enemy can be countered at a given time, and the character has to be rather close to the attacking enemy. In Arkham Knight, a counter can also finish up to 3 last standing enemies, unlike in previous games where it only grounds them. If an enemy is all alone or the last standing one, a counter will immediately finish them. However, a counter against an Armored Henchman or a Brute does not add any multiplier, and does not knock them over. Like strikes, Freeflow Counters can knock over enemies.
Non-counter attacks with Batman (the slowest character) may easily fail against quick enemies such as Ninjas or Combat Experts if they're about to launch counterable attacks and result in him getting hit, therefore using counters against these attacks is preferable.Ī counter adds 1 multiplier to the combo meter, then 10 points for each multiplier, just like a normal strike. Due to the nature of the Combat Variation system of the Arkham games, spamming the normal strike too quickly can leave players vulnerable, which is why a counter here and there is very useful to avoid getting hit due to such a poor combat rhythm. It is easy to perform, and if well-timed, it can help players to counter any counterable attack successfully without harm. The counter is a basic and important attack. It is a defensive, passive attack and it can only be performed successfully in response to an incoming attack but if not done correctly during a combo (e.g., poorly timed), the player will be hit and the Combo will be broken. It is performed by pressing the counter button (by default, X on Xbox, triangle on PlayStation, and right mouse button on PC) in response to an incoming attack. Counter is one of the first moves taught in the Arkham games (the other being Strike).
