In some cases, to avert a Breather Boss, game developers make a boss perform an attack that renders them unable to be harmed after getting hit. Usually, this comes about because bosses can only take a few hits in a given game; there are exceptions, however. Note that this has to be an attack the boss performs after getting hit, however; teleporting away or the like doesn't count because they're not actively retaliating.

Differs from Counter-Attack in that the former trope refers to an attack that occurs immediately as a result of being attacked, and this refers to a fight pattern of a boss that occurs after they take a hit. Also differs from Combo Breaker and Recovery Attack, which occurs as an attempt to halt any further attempts to inflict damage mid attack. Compare Mercy Invincibility, in which the player is temporarily invulnerable after being attacked, though whether they attack during this time is still up to them, of course. |

Super Mario Galaxy 2: King Lakitu showers the arena with lightning after he's hit. Glamdozer stands outside of the grates she can be hit on after being attacked and spits out some magma balls to clog some of them up. |

New Super Mario Bros.: Each time he's hit, the Monty Mole fought at the end of World 6 enters its Monty Tank and starts driving it back and forth while shooting Bullet Bills. It then makes the Tank taller before resuming the standard tactic, which makes hitting it again more difficult. Lakithunder in World 7 retaliates by dropping multiple Spinies after the first hit, and shoots lightning bolts after being hit for the second time. |

In Super Mario World, Ludwing von Koopa goes into his shell and chases Mario or Luigi after being stomped. He and all other Koopalings perform this attack in all games where they've appeared from New Super Mario Bros. Wii onwards, as does Bowser Jr. in Super Mario Maker and Super Mario Maker 2. | |

This used to be rare in the Super Mario Bros. bosses, but became much more frequent in the games released in 2009 and onward: In Super Mario World, Ludwing von Koopa goes into his shell and chases Mario or Luigi after being stomped. He and all other Koopalings perform this attack in all games where they've appeared from New Super Mario Bros. Wii onwards, as does Bowser Jr. in Super Mario Maker and Super Mario Maker 2.

Super Mario 3D Land and Super Mario 3D World: In both games, Boom Boom performs a shell ramming attack once stomped. In 3D World, on his last hit point, the shell turns invisible. In 3D Land only, Pom Pom enters shell mode upon being hit and constantly tries to Ground Pound Mario or Luigi. Boss Brolder performs an invincible spinning attack that throws out pyroclasts when damaged. King Ka-Thunk drops back down onto the arena when hurt, destroying parts of it. |

Super Mario Odyssey: All four Broodals retreat into their hats and bounce around their arenas when hit. Unlike most examples, Mario can actually knock all of them out of Retaliation Mode before it ends; attacking the last remaining hat in Topper's Needle in a Stack of Needles attack is guaranteed to expose him once more, stomping on Spewart's attack where he leaves a trail of poison around the arena will expose him again, jumping on Rango before he begins bouncing around will skip the process entirely, and knocking one of Hariet's bombs back at her as she flies around bombing the arena will send her plummeting from the sky, making her vulnerable to another Goomba Stomp. Whenever she takes damage, Madame Broode will get angry enough to throw her pet Chain Chomp at you. Said Chain Chomp — the only means of defeating her — will spin, deflecting Cappy and preventing Mario from Capturing it. Knucklotec launches a fast punch that deflects Cappy once he's hit. Mollusque-Lanceur performs a spinning attack once he's damaged, nullifying any damage done to his head; if you're using a Gushen to damage him instead of a ground-pound, he actually starts using the spinning attack before you can damage him fully. Mecha-Wiggler closes all its weak points before performing a charge attack through several portals. |
