Counterspell: Difference between revisions

(One intermediate revision by the same user not shown)

Line 8:

* 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 {{ItemIcon|Slowing Hex}}, then another enemy uses Slowing Hex on the same player) the second application cannot be Counterspelled.

Line 15:

* Counterspell does not proc when parrying {{HeroIcon|Viscous}}' {{AbilityIcon|Puddle Punch}}, since the ability can be blocked by regular parries.

* Counterspell can prevent {{HeroIcon|Lash}}'s {{AbilityIcon|Death Slam}} if the player parries at the moment they would be pulled.

* Counterspell can be used on {{HeroIcon|Doorman}}'s {{AbilityIcon|Hotel Guest}}.

* Counterspell can be used on {{HeroIcon|Doorman}}'s {{AbilityIcon|Hotel Guest}}, both to prevent the player from being sent to the Baroness and to prevent them from taking damage on return.

* Counterspell can be used on {{HeroIcon|Apollo}}'s {{AbilityIcon|Itani Lo Sahn}}, both to prevent the initial hit and to prevent the damage after time slow (although the ability description says the slowed player can't take actions, they are still able to parry).

* Counterspell can be used on {{HeroIcon|Celeste}}'s {{AbilityIcon|Shining Wonder}} to avoid the initial damage. However, the orb will continue to linger on the player and can bounce onto other heroes, and back.

* Counterspell can prevent [[Build-Up]] effects such as {{HeroIcon|Mina}}'s {{AbilityIcon|Love Bites}} and [[Stack|stacking]] effects such as {{HeroIcon|Haze}}'s {{AbilityIcon|Fixation}}, if activated either before the build-up is applied or when it triggers. If build-up/stacks have already been applied, it does not prevent the build-up itself.
