Counter

Counters are a recurring game mechanic in 62studio's games in which enemy succubi respond to the player's attacks with their own attacks.

Description
Only a subset of enemies are capable of countering, and those that do only counter certain attacks by the player. More specifically, they counter attacks that are similar to the sexual technique that they specialise in. For example, the Cow Girl of Lust Grimm breastfeeds Magrut in her H-scene. As a result, she will counterattack if the player has Magrut use the Nipple Suck skill on her. Most counterattacks are done in response to Nipple Suck (and also Nipple Suck+, in Succubus in Wonderland), but some enemies (such as the Succubus Student of Lust Grimm) instead counter the Thrust! and Thrust!! skills. In LustGrimm Again, some enemies counterattack if their weakness is hit three times in the same battle, discouraging the player from simply targeting their weakness.

In Succubus Puttel and later games, the word "counter!!" appears on the screen when an enemy counterattacks.

Some counterattacks are unique and are powerful enough to instantly bring the player's Vigor to 0, regardless of the player's stats. An example of this is the Cow Girl's Feeding Counter. Other counterattacks are the same as conventional attacks used by the enemy, and do normal amounts of damage. An example of this is Hard Succubus' Hard Nursing.
