Mechanics

Adversary triggers if the skill targeting the user hits, including if a resistance nullifies it. The skill must inflict an Ailment, except Instakill, in which case Adversary will never trigger. Furthermore, if the skill is modified to inflict an Ailment, the added Ailments will be disregarded by Adversary. Adversary specifically triggers on skills, not basic attacks or items.

Like all counters, if the user is afflicted by Charm, Confuse, Sleep or Seal, Adversary will not be allowed to activate, including if a skill that can trigger it also successfully inflicts one of those Ailments. If the user is afflicted by Charm, Confuse or Sleep, and the skill removes that Ailment (including by replacing it with one that does not stop counters from triggering), then Adversary will be allowed to trigger from that skill as long as the above conditions are met. Seal specifically will not allow counters to trigger even if it is removed.

As a Counter Innate, Adversary does not trigger when the attacker has Ruler of Chaos.
