Perhaps when you used the Leo Ring you weren't using an appropriate weapon with it /shrug
- Does not affect critical hits (backstab & riposte: try the Hornet Ring) or striking a recoiling opponent (you have broken his guard, kicked him, or blocked his attack and caused him to stagger).
- To perform a counter, strike an opponent at the same time his attack
would have hit you or IMMEDIATELY afterwards, before they recover from
the "peak" of their attack animation.
- Normally this gives a ~20% physical damage bonus when using a weapon
that is capable of counter attacks. The Leo Ring boosts counter damage
by approximately 40%, for a total of ~67% greater power than normal.
- Counter attacks only give a bonus to physical damage, so the effect
is weaker with elemental, magic/enchanted, and divine/occult weapons.
The pure magic Moonlight Butterfly Horn cannot deal counter attacks at all.
- Confirmed counter attack weapons: Thrusting Swords, Spears, some Halberds (Scythe does not work but Lucerne and Gargoyle Halberd do, for example), Straight Swords and Katanas of all sizes that perform a thrusting power attack, Arrows
- The damage boost applies for almost every enemy in the game, including bosses and large foes.
