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, but does not prevent the stun.
  • 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 the build-up of stacking effects, such as Haze's Fixation and Mirage's Djinn's Mark. However, it does not remove stacks applied before the parry and does not prevent the damage of Djinn's Mark from proccing.
  • 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.
