Notes
[edit | edit source]- Counterspell is visually indicated by a purple bubble VFX replacing the default parry effect.
- Counterspell only goes on cooldown on a successful spell parry.
- The player can parry multiple abilities during the Counterspell parry window. The heal and buffs are only applied for the first parry.
- If a debuff is already applied to the player and then re-applied before it expires (e.g. the player is under the effect of
Slowing Hex, then another enemy uses Slowing Hex on the same player) the second application cannot be Counterspelled.
