Counterspell is a Tier 3 Vitality Item that can be purchased from the Shop for Souls3,200.

Notes

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

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 Curse status effect.
  • Counterspell prevents all damage and Curse effect from the Patron's defensive attack.
  • Counterspell does not proc when parrying Viscous' Puddle Punch, since the ability can be blocked by regular parries.
  • Counterspell can prevent Lash's Death Slam if the player parries at the moment they would be pulled.
  • Counterspell can be used on The Doorman's Hotel Guest.
  • Counterspell can be used on Celeste's Shining Wonder. However, the orb will continue to linger on the player and can bounce onto other heroes.
  • Counterspell can prevent Build-Up effects such as Mina's Love Bites and stacking effects such as Haze's 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 Mirage's 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 Mo & Krill's Combo if the enemy tries to use the ability during the target's parry window, similarly to Unstoppable.
