POWER | ORIGINAL B | COUNTER SPECIALIST
Manual PvE: rewards correctly timed counters. AI: loses value when the computer fails to counter at the right moment. Arena: a useful prediction tool, but claims that he counters everyone are disputed. [S40, S41]

Cards and build
Use developed general offense or a normal-attack option if enhanced basics are your damage core. This is a starting template rather than a verified exclusive-card package. Defensive cards should not substitute for learning the counter timing.
Manual play
Supported beginner loop: identify an incoming hit, Q to counter, follow with enhanced W, then enhanced basics until the next counter opportunity. A community guide regards E mainly as mobility and a possible damage loss in stationary fights. Do not stand idle waiting for a hit that never comes. [S41]
Investment
Matchup statements about Kirishima versus Aizawa conflict: bleed can trigger a counter, but binds and spacing can deny the exchange. His manual success does not demonstrate reliable AI success. Ping can make reaction counters difficult. [S39-S41]
Practice tips
Choose a boss with a clear telegraph. Land the counter five times before adding a long combo. Then compare full-fight damage with and without using E between counters.
