COUNTER GUARD – A smart opponent can send counterattacks by quickly clearing any hazard tiles you send them, which reverses any time bar gains you may have made. If you're struggling to make headway, break out a Counter Guard, which nulls counterattacks for a limited time! pic.twitter.com/68gIOOooEK
