This card's effect is an auto effect. Only act abilities count towards the 1 card per chain rule. Here are 2 examples.

1)  If this card link attacks with Legendary Brave, Tasuku both of their auto abilities would trigger.  You would choose in which order they activate and get both of their effects.  If auto effects counted towards the 1 card per chain rule, you would have to choose only 1 of their effects to use.  Since both of their abilites are auto, you can still use a counter effect within this chain.

2)  Say your opponent is using Deity of the Death and Sun, Bloody King.  King's ability is an act ability.  They activate King's ability and discard Valkyrie, All-knowing Alwidol  a the cost.  Alwidol's ability is an auto ability.  When discarded, the player gets to charge and draw.  This combo is famous in decks that use King.  Alwidol's ability does not count towards the 1 counter per chain rule, but King's ability does.  The player won't be able to use a counter during that chain.  They would have to wait for that chain to conclude then start another chain.

I hope this helps.
