    It seemed like those "counter hits" were just some weird point blank hit for the rocks, because AFAIK only Pierce damage can counterhit and those high damage hits only came from really close rock throws.
    You can even see 2 separate instances of damage if you go by frame by frame on those hits, one for like 2/3rds of the damage of the normal hit and then the entire normal throw damage the next frame.

    Some comments have already mentioned it, but counterattacks are exclusive to pierce damage. The Rocks seem to have a double hitbox up close and that's what the "counter hits" were. The rock pots don't seem to have the double hitbox like the rocks themselves.

    Idk if you ever realized this throughout the video cause I'm commenting early in, but the reason the rock does that double damage proc is due to it having a melee and ranged hitbox. The rock isn't "used" before it's thrown, so if in melee range, the rock hits twice. I just noticed this in the hippo fight lol
