hard counter


a strategy that utterly dominates another strategy, leaving no question of the outcome.

compare to soft counter. in a soft counter, the strategy being countered can still be victorious through skill or luck. there is no chance of this when a hard counter is used.
1) rock-paper-scissors: rock hard counters scissors, scissors hard counters paper, etc. there is no situation in which scissors will beat rock.

2) in most strategy games, tanks will hard-counter infantry without anti-tank weapons. a rifleman with an m1 stands no chance whatsoever against a kraut riding the mg42 on top of a tiger.
