A cover hex is a hex, often with low energy cost and fast recharge or Area of Effect, which is used after another hex on the same target. This makes it more difficult for the enemy to remove the first hex, as most hex removal skills only remove the most recent.
See hex removal skills quick reference for a list of skills that remove hexes.
