No counterattack damage debuff stack
🎮 **A simple but crucial repair module to give counterattack skills a new lease of life! **
❓ The problem
In the original Darkest Dungeon, there was a small problem with the counterattack skill. Counterattack is considered an "effect" in the game, and effects stack with themselves by default unless explicitly prohibited by the effect description. This means that if you use an ability such as Duelist's Rush multiple times in order to reposition a hero, it will cause that hero's counterattack to deal little to no damage! 😱
✨ Module function
This simple mod will clear any existing counter effects on a hero or monster before applying a new one, preventing the effect from stacking with itself.
💡 **Simply put, it refreshes the duration of counterattack without affecting its damage value. **
📜 Fixed skill list
The following skills have this fix applied:
- **Bandit - Duelist Rush**
- **Veteran - Tooth for Tooth**
---
🔧 Technical details
This mod is very simple - all it does is apply the "clear_riposte_performer" effect when the counter skill is used, before the new counter effect triggers.
⚠️ Compatibility Notes
This mod modifies the following files:
`heroes/highwayman/highwayman.info.darkest`
`heroes/man_at_arms/man_at_arms.info.darkest`
**Any mod that also modifies these files will be incompatible with this mod. **

**Notes on DLC patches**:
The monster's AI is programmed to explicitly prohibit reuse via a cooldown during counter skill activation. Therefore, other versions of this mod are unnecessary - this issue is unique to the player.

**Usage Suggestions**:
Highly recommended to all players who like to use bandits or veterans for counter-flow play! After installation, you can use displacement skills more freely without worrying about accidentally weakening your core output means, making tactical arrangements more flexible and reliable. 🚀
Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
- Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.
Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
