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.

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