Countering a Champion's special attribute stuns them, and players will be notified by a sound and a text prompt.

  • Overload Champions have health regeneration and accelerated ability regeneration, allowing them to use these abilities aggressively. They can be stunned by Overload weapons.
  • Unstoppable Champions will attack relentlessly from all ranges, and can be staggered only with Unstoppable weapons.
