How Does Counter Vial Work?
Counter Vial turns the vulnerable Vial preparation window into a counter opportunity. If an enemy hits Mina while she is readying a Vial, the Trinket avoids that strike and retaliates with a burst.
This makes it especially useful against enemies and bosses that aggressively punish healing attempts.
Is Counter Vial Worth Using?
Counter Vial can be very useful if you often struggle to find safe healing windows. Instead of being completely exposed while readying a Vial, Mina gains a defensive counter when an enemy connects.
Its value depends on how often you heal during combat. Players who rarely use Vials in dangerous situations may prefer a Trinket with a more consistently active effect.
Best Uses for Counter Vial
- Boss fights where healing windows are difficult to find.
- Enemies that aggressively attack during Vial use.
- Vial-focused builds.
- Players who want healing to double as a defensive counter opportunity.
