Items that answer this

4 items

Tier 2 1,600 souls each

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

Tier 3 3,200 souls each

Dispel Magic Buy when enemy debuffs — slows, silences, anti-heal, disarms, hexes — are what is killing you rather than raw damage. Watch out: Cannot be used while stunned or asleep

Tier 4 6,400 souls each

Indomitable Buy when enemy CC lands faster than you can react — it is the automatic, no-timing-required anti-lockdown item.
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
