Abilities 40 of Duelist

Parry

Self

You do not need to do anything special to trigger a Self ability. When you use it, it affects you.

Deflect

You can block a single attack that cannot normally be blocked, including attacks with the Pierce modifier or that call Pierce Damage, DisarmPush, or Ruin. Deflect abilities can also be used to counter abilities with the Burst modifier if the attack originates in front of the player, or abilities with the Spray modifier or the Twin modifier so long as none of the packets or attacks hit the player.

Party

A Party ability affects you normally and can also be shared with other characters. You may give the ability to any number of characters any time except during content or combat and the benefit applies whenever they are within sight of you. Characters may only benefit from one Party ability at a time, regardless of how many you or other characters have, though you may grant different abilities to different characters at the same time. You may revoke a Party ability at any time if you so choose.

If the ability is granted by a sanctum, residents of the sanctum may choose it as their Party ability, but remain limited to one Party ability at a time. The owner of the sanctum may revoke its Party abilities, but residents need not be within sight of the sanctum or the owner to benefit from them.
