Strategy
Smackback is an extremely powerful ability to give a card, allowing it to bypass its 
Counter via a 
Reaction. The Punchfist Charm is best used for Companions that have good 
health and high 
attack or strong effects. Companions like 
Fungun, 
Shen, and 
Biji who intentionally get hit to strengthen their effects can strike back immediately, while cards with extremely long Counters like 
Nom & Stompy and 
I.C.G.M. can wreak their havoc far faster than intended. A card with Barrage can also punish its attacker's entire row at once.
The 
Totem of the Goat pairs fantastically with Smackback, as the attacker will be 
Demonized before the card strikes back.
Although "Smackback" implies a counterattack, a Companion or Clunker with no attack stat can still use the Punchfist Charm, as long as they have a Counter or Reaction already.
A card with 
Frenzy will stop counterattacking if its attacker is killed partway through the set of Frenzy attacks. However, if the card also has Barrage or Aimless, it will counterattack against the attacker's entire row and will only stop Frenzy attacks if the entire row is killed.
If a card already has a Reaction other than Smackback, such as 
Nova or 
Knuckles, attaching the Punchfist Charm will not overwrite the existing Reaction. Because the card keeps its original Reaction but also gains Smackback, it can trigger by either Reaction. If the card's Reaction triggers simultaneously with Smackback, such as Knuckles's Reaction, Smackback will trigger first. On the other hand, if the card has no Counter or Reaction, it cannot have the Punchfist Charm attached (this includes cards that had Reactions previously but then lost them due to the 
Durian Charm or 
Mime Charm).
