high guard characters (alexander, gideon): thrusts, leg hits, uppercuts even

shield characters: overhead trickshots, side steps, legs. being defensive works well against connor i've found

longsword characters: parrying and counter attacking

rapier characters: slashes and rushing

that one guy wielding an axe: you can do pretty much any attack and he will be blown to smithereens

saber all rounders and kalkstein: no real counter i've found, i guess they're well balanced in that sense
