Deadly Counter is a red mutation in The Witcher 3 Remastered, added in the Blood and Wine expansion. Researching it costs 2 Greater red mutagens and 2 skill points.

It needs no other mutation researched first, and unlocks Bloodbath. While it is active, the Strengthened Synapses slots take Combat skills only; those slots open at 2, 4, 8 and 12 researched mutations.
