Counter Surge is based on a core element of ''Fire Emblem'' gameplay: in all games of the series, when a unit attacks another unit, the targeted unit will perform a counter-attack to strike back at their attacker if they currently have an equipped weapon with a compatible {{s|fireemblemwiki|range}}. In addition, some of the games have a Counter skill that reflects half or all damage (depending on the game, with varying rates of occurrence). Corrin in particular can learn the skill itself in their home game by reclassing into the {{s|fireemblemwiki|Oni Chieftain}} class tree, and their use of their dragon form is reminiscent of the attack pattern while equipped with a dragonstone.

While the term 竜穿 translates more literally to "dragon drill", the games even in the Japanese versions dub it contextually as "Dragon Fang".
