Items that answer this

13 items

Debuff Reducer The standard early buy when the enemy team chains crowd control; it is also the component for Spellbreaker and Unstoppable. Watch out: Debuff Resist does NOT shorten the stun from a parry
Reactive Barrier Buy when enemy crowd control is followed by burst damage — it buys you the seconds you need to live through the combo. Watch out: Triggers only on Stun, Chain, Immobilize, Sleep or Silence — not on plain damage

Blood Tribute Buy on a high-sustain gun hero who can pay the health cost, especially when enemy crowd control is the main thing stopping your damage. Watch out: Healing reduction REMOVED 6 Mar 2026; self-damage raised 40/s -> 50/s in the same patch
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
Majestic Leap Buy to escape ground-based lockdown and to rotate across the map quickly. Watch out: Leaves you airborne, which Knockdown punishes with a longer stun and +100% gravity
Stamina Mastery Buy when dodging telegraphed abilities and disengaging is how you survive.
Warp Stone Buy when you are repeatedly getting caught and killed out of position, or to close a gap onto a fleeing target. Watch out: Silenced (and therefore unusable) while affected by Slowing Hex

Diviner's Kevlar Buy on heroes with a channelled or commitment-heavy ultimate that the enemy tries to burst you out of.
Indomitable Buy when enemy CC lands faster than you can react — it is the automatic, no-timing-required anti-lockdown item.
Scourge Buy on supports to harden a focused ally against a caster team while adding pressure damage.
Spellbreaker The go-to answer to a spellcaster who deletes you with one big ability — it caps the spike and shortens their stuns at the same time. Watch out: Now builds from Debuff Reducer as of 30 Jan 2026
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
