👉 The contrary weapon, also known as the "counter-attack weapon," is a defensive tool designed to neutralize incoming attacks by redirecting or absorbing energy back at the attacker. Unlike offensive weapons, its primary purpose is protection, using materials or designs that can deflect, absorb, or redirect force to prevent harm. For example, a contra-weapon might be a shield with a built-in energy return mechanism or a specialized dagger that channels the attacker’s force against them, turning potential damage into a defensive advantage.
