Crowd Control

Stun, an example of crowd control.

Crowd control are effects present in certain abilities and upgrades that hamper the target's ability to control the character in some way. There are multiple kinds of crowd control effects in the game.

Some abilities and upgrades are also able to reduce or deny the effects of crowd control, reducing their duration or preventing them altogether.
