Counter actions?

[stupot00]

So I'm in chapter 8 and am getting into fights that I get countered alot in, the tips menu tells me to use counter actions to not get countered but I skip a turn by using them. Problem is what the hell is a counter action? 

 

Had a fight last forever earlier because nearly every move I did got countered.

Bosses can usually only counter 1 type of attack like Star or Moon, so if your character has moves of other types, use those. If your character doesn't have another type of attack, you can switch your active character with the character in the backrow, assuming you have one set.

Thanks, I sort of worked out they seem to counter the type they are weak against. So just been hitting them with the type they are.
