This article is about The effect in combat. For Scribing script, see Interrupt (script).
Interrupt abilities can be used against an enemy who preparing a powerful attack to prevent them from doing so, usually stunning them or applying other Crowd Control effects in the process. You can tell if an attack can be interrupted by red lines that are flowing towards the caster. The simplest way to interrupt an attack is to use a Bash attack. Also most Crowd Control attacks such as Stun, Knockback, Off Balance, or Disorient will effectively interrupt most attackers, though stronger boss enemies may be immune to some or all of these effects.
