After a player is attacked, they may immediately unleash a more powerful attack on their turn (instead of a normal attack) if they have the correct Weapon type to do so. The Power Attack (the second line on the Weapon Card) is triggered if it can counter the type of Weapon the enemy has just used. The three types of Weapons are: Area (), Ranged (), and Melee ().

In terms of Weapon type counters, the following applies:

Area counters Ranged. Ranged counters Melee. Melee counters Area.

Example: Diamond immediately counters the Lightning Coil with a Warhammer and therefore performs a Power Attack. It does 3 damage to Maverick, plus Diamond scores 1 additional VP for using it, so she potentially scores .
