Prevasion (カゲロウ、Heat Haze) is a passive ability in the Azure Striker Gunvolt series.
English Game Description[]
When Gunvolt isn't using the Flashfield, he will automatically neutralize incoming attacks in exchange for EP. This is known as Prevasion.
Although Prevasion consumes EP, as long as you manually recharge your EP by double-tapping (down on the D-pad) you can effectively become invincible.
Prevasion is a pendant ability, and can be disabled by removing Gunvolt's pendant.
Effect[]
Some pendants when equipped can grant the Prevasion ability.
While the ability is active, any damage incurred will be redirected such that it subtract points from Gunvolt's EP meter rather than his health meter. Thus, constantly recharging EP grants Gunvolt pseudo-invincibility.
Moreover, Gunvolt himself will not stagger or knockback when he takes damage; an electrical emanation of Gunvolt from the Prevasion will absorb the damage for him.
Although Prevasion prevents Gunvolt from sustaining any actual damage, getting hit in some way still reduces Gunvolt's Kudos count to zero.
The effects of Prevasion are disabled as long as Gunvolt is activating his Flashfield or if he removes the Prevasion-granting pendant.
- Note: Prevasion is not a perfect ability. It cannot protect Gunvolt from passive damage effects, such as if he is drowning in the Subaquatic Base. It also cannot negate status affliction attacks, such as Elise's Gorgon Eye, Carrera's Quasar Collapse, or Copen's approximations of those moves.

Other Prevasion Users[]
Almost all playable characters have their own version of Prevasion, with Copen in Luminous Avenger iX 2 being the only exception, though his Hyper Guard ability serves a similar function.
Copen's pseudo-Prevasion function is based on the Azure Striker technique, and each activation will consume one Bullit in GV2 or two Bullits in iX1.
Kirin can use Prevasion by equipping the "The Muse" Lumen Image Pulse. Each activation consumes 4 talismans, and upgrading the Image Pulse can reduce the number of talismans consumed to 3 or 2 each time.
ZedΩ has his own Prevasion-equivalent ability called Vibratio, which consumes all remaining feathers and causes ZedΩ to lose his wings each time it is activated.
