Quick answer: Counterstrike Bracers is the reward for winning your first Lóng Pillar trial, a duel with The Gold-Masked One at any pillar. It adds 20% damage for 2 seconds after a Parry.


Where to get Counterstrike Bracers

The first trial is a duel with The Gold-Masked One. Defeat him, and Counterstrike Bracers is added to your accessories as the trial reward.

Your second trial win gives a different reward, the Miraculous Scabbard. If you already have Miraculous Scabbard, you have already collected the bracers from your first win.

The card reads:

These bracers are clad in irregular metal scales. Blocking enemy attacks causes the scales to gather Sha-Chi, building power for a counterattack. The people of the Bastion of Mó had no desire to vie for supremacy in the Wulin, but neither would they tolerate formidable foes at their gates. Such was their way.

Refining costs 14,688 Remnant Dust. The bonus only starts after a successful Parry, so the accessory is worth more the more consistently you can parry. You can compare it with the rest of the game’s accessories before deciding where your Remnant Dust goes.
