Counter damage applies while an enemy is currently in their attack animation. Counter damage is exclusive to thrust weapons, and the two main thrust weapons, thrusting swords and spears, have the ability to attack from behind a shield. Doing so will allow you to take advantage of counter damage while your shield still blocks the incoming hit, provided your stamina holds out.
