Counterattack Damage Dealer

Clara (and Svarog) is an offensive unit that can take hits from enemies and dish damage out in return in the form of Counterattacks.

Clara herself will take reduced DMG from enemies and after being attacked, will instantly trigger a Counterattack.

Skill Deals More DMG with Counter

Mark of Counter is a mechanic that marks an enemy whenever they attack Clara. Enemies with a Mark of Counter will take more DMG from Clara's Skill, so it would be used better if enemies attack Clara first.

The Marks of Counter will be removed after Clara uses her Skill.

Ultimate Enhances Counter

Clara's Ultimate will reduce her DMG taken even further and will have an increased chance in being the target of enemies. Svarog will be enhanced to Counterattack when other party members get hit and deal AoE DMG.
