Russian term

уворот

Russian to English Art/Literary Cinema, Film, TV, Drama MMORPG
In the following context:
Персонаж не двигается и не совершает никаких действий, все атаки по нему игнорируют уворот, парирование и блокирование

I've found the verb увертывать/увернуть, to dodge or avoid (as in a blow). I could be convinced that уворот is the short-form adjective here, but then it should be увороты, and the remainder of the sentence doesn't seem logical. I thought this might be a typo (the last refuge of the stumped) but that seems unlikely, as it was repeated later on in the text.
Proposed translations (English)

A couple of examples "Chirijiraden: This is considered the most powerful Samurai skill in the arsenal and is required to have this particular sword in order to perform it. The sword engulfs everything within a 50ft. surrounding area in a blaze of blue “fire.” The damage is non-elemental and ignores blocks, dodges, defenses, or immunities to the attack."

"...Armor only mitigates PHYSICAL damage. Magic ignores it completely. (Magic also ignores Dodge, Parry, and Block--which is why EH, especially in the form of Stamina, is now king.)"

Fernsucht You are absolutely right. The ability nullifies the player's chance to dodge, parry and block.
Fernsucht Nov 1, 2011:
I think you're right about "увернуться" => "уворот" => dodge. My understanding of this sentence is as follows:

Персонаж не двигается и не совершает никаких действий, все атаки по нему [со стороны других персонажей] игнорируют [его] уворот, парирование и блокирование.

I included the missing clues in square brackets. Please, correct me if I'm wrong, as I'm not 100% sure

dodge

It is dodge in noun form. Singular because парирование and блокирование are in singular form as well. 100%.

Some games may also use "evade," but not this one.
