Melee attacks will interrupt [[Reload Time|reloading]] when performed. Light melee attacks (with the exception of {{HeroIcon|Billy}}'s) instantly freeze the reload timer on use, while heavy melee attacks will instead freeze the reload timer once the attacking hero begins lunging. Reloading resumes once the melee animation has completed. | Melee attacks will interrupt [[Reload Time|reloading]] when performed.

Parries (Default key: <code>F</code>) are a defensive move that is available to every Hero. After performing a parry, a Hero briefly enters ''a parry state''. The parry animation lasts 1 second, during which any incoming melee attack will be parried for the first 0.75 seconds. During the ''parry state'', the player can fully absorb melee attacks and apply the following status effects to the melee attackers: stunning the attacker for 2.75 seconds (cannot be reduced by debuff resistance), preventing incoming melee damage, and making the attacker susceptible to increased damage in return (+25% to all damage sources, not just the individual who parried). | |||
A successful parry has a brief 0.3 second window exiting the parry animation in which the player will not be able to perform anything, after which any action (including another parry) can be performed. Holding the parry key allows the player to parry multiple heroes. An unsuccessful parry has a cooldown of 4.5 seconds before another parry can be performed again. | |||
Debuff Resist does not impact the duration of those status effects from being parried. | |||
{{ItemIcon|Counterspell}} and {{ItemIcon|Rebuttal}} give additional effects to parries, with Rebuttal also decreasing parry cooldown. | |||
You can parry [[Troopers]] (blocks damage but doesn't stun them) and [[Guardians]] (blocks damage and prevents them from attacking for a short period) | |||
