{{Keyword|Smackback}} is an extremely powerful ability to give a card, allowing it to bypass its {{Stat|Counter}} via a {{Stat|Reaction}}. The Punchfist Charm is best used for [[Companions]] that have good {{Stat|health}} and high {{Stat|attack}} or strong effects. Companions like {{Card|Fungun}}, {{Card|Shen}}, and {{Card|Biji}} who intentionally get hit to strengthen their effects can strike back immediately, while cards with extremely long Counters like {{Card|Nom & Stompy}} and {{Card|ICGM|I.C.G.M.|I.C.G.M.}} can wreak their havoc far faster than intended.

A card with {{Keyword|Barrage}} can also punish its attacker's entire row at once.


The {{Card|Totem of the Goat}} pairs fantastically with Smackback, as the attacker will be {{Stat|Demonize|Demonized}} before the card strikes back.

If a card ''already'' has a Reaction, attaching the Punchfist Charm will not overwrite the existing Reaction and will add Smackback, allowing the card to trigger by either Reaction.
A card with {{Stat|Frenzy}} will stop counterattacking if its attacker is killed partway through the set of Frenzy attacks. However, if the card also has Barrage or {{Keyword|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 {{Card|Nova}} or {{Card|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.
