Editing Build-Up (section)Give feedback

==Counters==
Several items and abilities can mitigate or counter build-up effects:
* {{ItemIcon|Plated Armor}} provides a chance to block bullet effects from incoming shots entirely, which includes any build-up effects.
* Abilities and items that [[Status Effect#Disarm|disarm]] the enemy or reduce their [[fire rate]], such as {{HeroIcon|Mo & Krill}}'s {{AbilityIcon|Sand Blast}}, {{ItemIcon|Disarming Hex}} and {{ItemIcon|Juggernaut}}.
* {{ItemIcon|Dispel Magic}} removes any existing build-up applied to the player.
* Items providing [[Debuff Resist]] reduce the lingering duration of build-up as well as the duration of already triggered effects.
** {{ItemIcon|Debuff Reducer}} and its upgrades {{ItemIcon|Spellbreaker}} and {{ItemIcon|Unstoppable}}
** {{ItemIcon|Blood Tribute}}
** {{ItemIcon|Weighted Shots}}
* if the player has no build-up, {{ItemIcon|Counterspell}} prevents the first shot of build-up. If the player already has a build-up counter, it prevents from triggering when the build-up crosses 100% threshold, but does not prevent the build-up itself.
* Abilities and items that makes the player [[Status Effect#Invincibility|immune to damage]], such as {{HeroIcon|Ivy}}'s {{AbilityIcon|Stone Form}} or {{ItemIcon|Ethereal Shift}}, will also prevent any build-up on the player.

Notes: 
* {{ItemIcon|Metal Skin}}, despite providing immunity to bullet damage, does not protect against build-up in any way; shots negated by Metal Skin still contribute their full build-up percentage.
* {{ItemIcon|Return Fire}} does not build up effects against the attacker.
