In ''Kingdom Hearts III'', Counter Shield is the Formchange of the [[Hero's Origin]] Keyblade, associated with [[Guardian Form]]. It has a base duration of 30 seconds and a maximum combo length of 5. Its basic combo consists of Sora throwing the shield around himself and spinning it forwards, and the finishers consist of a spin attack and an electric forcefield. The Formchange's biggest boon is being able to perform devastating counters. Sora can use the [[Shield Charge]] ability to charge the shield by blocking 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. | In ''Kingdom Hearts III'', Counter Shield is the Formchange of the [[Hero's Origin]] Keyblade, associated with [[Guardian Form]].

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.
Design[edit]
Counter Shield transforms the Keyblade into a golden shield with white, cloud-like embroidery and a lightning bolt at the center. A diamond rests at the top of the shield, and a blue heart-like symbol is at the bottom.
Mechanics[edit]
In Kingdom Hearts III, Counter Shield is the Formchange of the Hero's Origin Keyblade, associated with Guardian Form. It has a base duration of 30 seconds and a maximum combo length of 5. Its basic combo consists of Sora throwing the shield around himself and spinning it forwards, and the finishers consist of a spin attack and an electric forcefield. The Formchange's biggest boon is being able to perform devastating counters. Sora can use the Shield Charge ability to charge the shield by blocking 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 and ride it around the arena. During this time, pressing 
allows Sora to cast Thunder on any enemies present.
Abilities[edit]
Alongside the abilities from Guardian Form, Counter Shield also has access to Shield Charge, which overrides Barrier. The Wrathful Fist and Wrathful Flurry reprisals also override Counter Blast.
