Counter Wait is a recurring ability in the Dragon Quest series.
Appearances[]
Dragon Quest IX[]
Making its debut, it can be used by any character that has the Staff Studies (Quest #72) item in their inventory. It costs 8 MP to use, and requires one turn to prepare. However, the Blight knight can also use this skill so be careful when attacking.
Dragon Quest X[]
Acquired with 100 skill points in the Staff skill tree, it acts mostly the same as in IX and costs 8 MP to use once again. Paintbrush hermits & Envoys of Yama can use this skill, bringing the total number of monster users to 3.
Dragon Quest XI[]
Serena will learn the art of balance through her Spears section in the Character Builder, unlocking it for 20 points. It costs 8 MP once again to enter the stance, and lasts two turns, since the staff weapons are not in this game.

Trivia[]
- It is seemingly based on a weaker version of Vearn's technique from Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai: the tenchimato (天地魔闘の構え).
- The original technique has a longer name and includes more moves in its counter attack. The original attack also became a meme in Japan.
