Jump to a page or hero
Some problems are not about one hero: a team that out-heals you, a marksman who attacks too fast, a burst combo. Each guide names the items, spells and talents that deal with it, with their real in-game text. For one specific hero, see the counter picks.
How to counter healing and shields
Some heroes win fights by outlasting you: they heal, regenerate or shield every time you trade. A few items cut that sustain.
How to counter high attack speed
Marksmen and other basic-attack heroes do most of their damage through attack speed. Some defense items slow it whenever they hit you.
How to survive burst damage
Burst heroes try to kill you before you can react. These items, a spell and a talent each blunt the first seconds of a fight.
How to deal with crowd control
Stuns, slows and knock-ups lose fights. Our data documents only a few answers, so this guide is short on purpose.
How to beat high physical defense
Tanks and fighters who stack physical defense shrug off ordinary damage. Penetration and defense reduction cut through it.
How to beat high magic defense
Magic defense soaks up mages. Magic penetration and defense reduction are the ways through.
