{{nihongo|'''Counter Shield'''|カウンターシールド|Kaunta Shīrudo}} is a [[Formchange]] in ''[[Kingdom Hearts III]]''. It allows the user to transform the [[Keyblade]] into a shield, allowing for strong counters and throwing attacks.

==Mechanics==
In ''Kingdom Hearts III'', Counter Shield is the Formchange of the [[Hero's Origin]] Keyblade, associated with [[Guardian Form]]. Its basic combo consists of Sora throwing the shield around himself and spinning it forwards before surrounding himself with an electric forcefield for the finisher. The Formchange's biggest boon is being able to perform devastating counters. By blocking with {{button|square}}/{{button|dsx}}, Sora can charge the shield and replace the [[Attack]] command with a reprisal up to two times. Wrathful Fist simply summons a giant fist from the shield, while Wrathful Flurry summons a barrage of fists.

The Formchange finish command has Sora transform the Keyblade into a chariot pulled by an ethereal [[Pegasus]]. The Attack command is replaced by '''Thunder''', allowing Sora to ride around the arena while casting bolts of lightning on any enemies present.
<!--In ''Kingdom Hearts III'', Counter Shield is the Formchange of the [[Hero's Origin]] Keyblade, associated with [[Guardian Form]]. Its basic combo consists of Sora throwing the shield in an upwards horizontal strike before spinning the shield and dashing forward into enemies, then hurling the shield in a [[Strike Raid]]-esque fashion. The first combo finisher has Sora throw the shield in a circular fashion around himself, and the second has him raise the shield above himself as an electric forcefield surrounds him, then expands outward.
While in this Formchange, holding {{button|square}}/{{button|dsx}} allows Sora to hold the shield in front of himself and walk around while doing so. Attacks that hit him in this state replace the [[Attack]] command with a reprisal- the first level being '''Wrathful Fist''', which summons a giant fist from the shield, and the second being '''Wrathful Flurry''', which summons a barrage of fists to attack the enemy. Wrathful Flurry has the shield glow yellow, while Wrathful Fist has the shield glow blue.
