Fellowship Interrupt Guide | How Interrupt Works

Interrupts are one of the most ignored mechanics in Fellowship, yet they decide more dungeon wipes than any boss ability. If you’ve seen teammates get blasted by a single yellow-cast spell, that’s what happens when nobody interrupts. Here’s how to use the system correctly and make every run cleaner.

How to Use Interrupts in Fellowship

Every hero has an interrupt or crowd control skill that can stop enemy casts instantly. The default key is V, but you can rebind it in Settings under Controls. When timed right, an interrupt cancels the cast completely, keeping your team alive and avoiding massive AoE damage or heals from enemies.

Interrupts are off the global cooldown, so they don’t delay your normal attacks. Use them the second an enemy begins a dangerous cast.

How to Enable and Use the Interrupt Tracker

The game includes a built-in Interrupt Tracker, but it’s hidden in the gameplay settings menu. Go to Settings, then Gameplay, and look for Interrupt Targeting. Once turned on, you can assign a key to mark an interrupt target.

Use the keybind (for example, Shift+G) to mark a target you plan to interrupt.
Your hero’s icon will appear beside the enemy’s nameplate.
If your interrupt is on cooldown, you’ll see a timer or a faded icon.
Teammates can see this, so they know you’re handling that target.

It’s one of the easiest tools for organizing dungeon groups without needing voice chat.

Regular Interrupt vs Target Interrupt

There are two ways to interrupt. The normal interrupt targets whatever you’re currently attacking. The second method, Interrupt Target, lets you interrupt a marked enemy even while focusing on something else.

Set this up by binding a second key (like F or Shift+F). It’s especially useful for tanks and ranged heroes who need to control multiple enemies at once.

Smart Keybinds and Settings

A clean setup makes a big difference. Bind your interrupt keys somewhere reachable, like Mouse 3 or Mouse 4, and turn on the Interrupt Tracker full time. Keep both normal and target interrupts active so you can switch between them as fights get messy.

You can also enable mouseover casting in the keybind settings for faster reactions. This helps when you’re clearing large packs and don’t want to tab through enemies.

Why Interrupting is SUPER IMPORTANT

Interrupts stop the most dangerous mechanics in Fellowship. Enemies with long yellow cast bars are signaling a wipe if ignored. Failing to interrupt means massive group damage, lost time, and a frustrated healer.

The tracker helps prevent duplicate interrupts, letting one player handle each priority mob. Groups that coordinate interrupts clear dungeons faster and take less damage overall.

How to Recognize Important Casts

Not every spell needs to be interrupted, but some absolutely do. Watch for:

Long yellow cast bars on elite or named enemies
Healing spells that restore enemy health
Massive AoE attacks that can wipe the party
Crowd control casts like fears or silences

If you’re unsure, interrupt anyway. It’s better to waste one than wipe the group.

Team Coordination and Timing

Mark your target before every big pull. Communicate if your interrupt is on cooldown so someone else can cover. If all interrupts are down, use a stun, knockback, or root to delay the next cast. Tanks should assign interrupt roles early, especially in higher-level dungeons.

Final Blurb

Interrupts are simple but game-changing in Fellowship. Learn to mark your targets, track cooldowns, and react quickly. Once everyone starts using the tracker and communicating, fights run smoother, healers relax, and dungeons fly by.

It’s the easiest fix for most group problems in the game.
