counterable
Able to block
Counterable describes something that can be opposed, neutralized, or responded to with an effective defense.
The term appears most often in gaming and competitive contexts, where players assess whether an opponent's strategy or move has a viable counter: That combo seems overpowered, but it's actually counterable if you time your dodge right.
Outside gaming, counterable applies to arguments, threats, or tactics that aren't invincible.
