In the general case, Retaliate is definitely OP, and if this weren't a gacha game I suspect it would have been nerfed somewhat.

That said, against an enemy where counterattacks are a primary source of its damage, I think making use of the "counters are uncounterable" mechanic is actually kind of neat, similar to making use of the "reflected spells can't be reflected" mechanic against bosses that use reflect on themselves.

In that vein, if I were in charge of FFRK, I think the nerf I'd make to Retaliate would go something like "if countering in response to a party member's attack, the counter attack uses the ATK value of the party member who initially attacked, not the Retaliate user."
