Hi, This is indeed interesting question. If I remember right, Knockback is a surge... Well, surges are used during an attack. Counter-attack card says that it can be used only after monster/lieutenant has attacked. Therefore, berserker will be knocked back first. And now, when berserker is 3 spaces away it can counter-attack skill only if he has range weapon (unlikely). If it will try to perform attack with melee weapon it will violate core game rules.

P.S. Also, Knockback says that hero moved 3 spaces away counts as entering new space. This is still part of lieutenant’s attack. So, if berserker lands on lava, then it is extra damage from lieutenant’s attack. And, if damage from lava would knock-out berserker, he cannot use counter-attack skill after lieutenants attack even if berserker had ranged weapon.

I hope this helps.
