Counterspell Buy against telegraphed single-target ultimates and hex-style point-and-click abilities you can read and parry. Watch out: Multiple abilities can be parried in the window, but the heal and buffs only apply from the first
Knockdown Buy whenever an enemy fights from the sky — it answers flying and airborne heroes and channelled aerial ultimates. Watch out: Gravity effect increased from +50% to +100% on 6 Mar 2026
Silence Wave Buy to cut off enemy ability combos in a teamfight, or to Silence a channelling ultimate hero before they start — it will not cancel one already being channelled. Watch out: Silence does not interrupt channelling abilities, so it will not cancel an ultimate that is already being channelled

Cursed Relic Buy to shut down one enemy carry or to cancel a game-deciding ultimate outright. Watch out: Voice lines still refer to the old name Curse
Ethereal Shift Buy to survive a telegraphed assassination combo or ultimate — you cannot be hurt for four seconds. Watch out: Interrupts your own channelled abilities on activation
Focus Lens Buy to take one enemy caster out of the fight — it silences them for four and a half seconds. Watch out: Damage dealt to a barrier on the target counts toward the banked damage (fixed 30 Oct 2026)
Silencer Buy when an enemy spellcaster is the main damage threat and you can land sustained bullets on them. Watch out: Silence does not apply to a target with Unstoppable active
Unstoppable Buy when enemy lockdown is the reason you lose fights — it lets you walk through a full CC chain and still deal damage. Watch out: Cannot be used while already stunned or asleep — it must be pre-cast
