Interacties (geverifieerd)

Taric, Protector combo

Tank dwingt Taric als eerste combat-schade te ontvangen; Counter Strike voorkomt precies die schade, waardoor Taric het voordeel van Tank (vijanden afleiden) houdt zonder zelf geraakt te worden.

Darius, Trifarian synergy

Counter Strike is een Reactie die op elk moment gespeeld kan worden: proactief als tweede kaart spelen triggert Darius' +2 might en ready, terwijl Counter Strike Darius tegelijkertijd beschermt tegen de volgende schadetoewijzing en een kaart trekt — één kaart vervult zowel trigger als bescherming.

Counter Strike vs. Elder Dragon (§437.2.a)

If Counter Strike (or any prevent effect) completely prevents Elder Dragon's 1 damage to a unit, that damage is never dealt per rule 437.2.a. Since no damage is dealt, Elder Dragon's passive ability—which redefines lethal damage thresholds for units that have damage marked on them by its controller—has no opportunity to apply to that unit. Citaat uit de bron: “If the damage is entirely prevented, it is never dealt per rule 437.2.a., and thus there is no opportunity for the passive ability of Elder Dragon to apply”
