* 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.

* ~~Like regular parries~~, ~~Counterspell has a short grace period where~~ the ~~parry procs after~~ the ~~parry animation has finished~~.

* 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.

== Notable interactions ==

* Counterspell prevents all damage from a [[Walker]] stomp and [[Shrine]] defense, but does not prevent the stun and knockback. It also does not prevent the Shrine's [[Status Effects#Curse|Curse]] status effect.

* Counterspell prevents all damage and Curse effect from ~~the~~ [[Patron]]'s ~~defensive~~ attack.

* Counterspell prevents all damage and Curse effect from a Weakened [[Patron]]'s Pit Explosion attack.

* 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}}~~. However~~, ~~it will still send~~ the player to the Baroness ~~Hotel~~.

* 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|Celeste}}'s {{AbilityIcon|Shining Wonder}}. However, the orb will continue to linger on the player and can bounce onto other heroes.

* 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 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 ~~has~~ already been applied, it does not prevent the build-up itself.

* 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.

* Counterspell can prevent {{HeroIcon|Mirage}}'s {{AbilityIcon|Djinn's Mark}} before it's applied to the player. However, it does not prevent it from stacking or triggering once it has been applied.

* Counterspell can block instant abilities such as {{HeroIcon|Mo & Krill}}'s {{AbilityIcon|Combo}} if the enemy tries to use the ability during the target's parry window, similarly to {{ItemIcon|Unstoppable}}.
