Riposte was a Force skill where practitioners utilized the Force to increase the effectiveness of non-critical strikes, temporarily turning what would generally be ineffective attacks from melee weapons such as lightsabers into crippling blows, though the user would then need to go on the defensive to restore their strength after pulling off this technique.
