What is another word for counter attacks?
Pronunciation: [kˈa͡ʊntəɹ ɐtˈaks] (IPA) 
Counter attacks are a powerful weapon in any conflict, but sometimes we need to vary the words we use when discussing them. Synonyms for counter attacks might include retaliations, responses, reprisals, counteroffensives, counterstrokes or counterblows. Each of these words conveys a similar idea to the original term, and can be used creatively to add variety to your writing or speech. For example, rather than saying "our counter attacks were effective," you might say "our responses were swift and decisive," or "our counteroffensive took the enemy by surprise." Whatever word you choose, the important thing is to convey the idea that you are not simply reacting to your opponent's moves, but actively taking the fight to them.
