Punchfist Charm grants スマックバック (Smackback), which causes the card to immediately attack back whenever it is hit. This happens outside of the normal turn order — every hit received generates a free counter-attack.

The core value proposition is converting defensive positioning into offensive output. A tank-type Companion standing in the front row and absorbing multiple attacks per round becomes an active damage dealer through Smackback, without requiring extra Counter ticks or actions.

The interaction with ゲキド (Frenzy) is the reason Punchfist Charm reaches high tiers. Each Smackback triggers ゲキド multipliers, so a Companion with ゲキド ×2 counter-attacks twice per hit received. Against multi-hit enemies or when surrounded, this can deal staggering retaliatory damage.

B tier base, A tier in ゲキド-stacking builds.

Attach to high-HP frontline Companions that will reliably absorb many hits. The more hits received per combat, the more Smackback triggers accumulate. The Companion needs to survive long enough to make use of the retaliatory hits — a glass cannon with Punchfist is wasted.

For maximum effect, first accumulate ゲキド on the Companion from other sources, then add Punchfist. Each incoming hit becomes a ゲキド-multiplied counter-attack.

• ゲキド from Moko Charm, Frenzy Charm, or native abilities: multiply Smackback damage per hit received
• Teeth Charm (カミツキのお守り): gain Teeth on hit, then apply Teeth damage on the next attack including Smackback
• Heart Charm: increase HP to absorb more hits and get more Smackback triggers
• Spice Charm: gain Attack on hit, and Smackback immediately uses the boosted Attack
