Counter Character

Counter for Ana

Counter Character	Reason
D.Va	・Can disable Ana's abilities ・Can fight at close range, which is her strength due to her mobility
Sombra	・Easy to hack and hunt Ana from the back ・Excellent in short-range combat
Genji	・Easy to avoid attacks ・Excellent in short-range combat
Kiriko	・Can remove status abnormalities ・Easy to avoid attacks

D.Va's Shutdown on Ana's Abilities

Deploy D.Va to nullify Ana's Abilities, closing in for the elimination. Ana's Sleep Dart and Biotic Grenade pose threats, but D.Va's Defense Matrix renders them ineffective. Exploit D.Va's mobility to approach Ana, overpowering her with sustained firepower.

Hunt Isolated Ana with Sombra

Utilize Sombra to track down Ana, often positioned behind her team for healing. Ana's tendency to stay at a distance makes her vulnerable to Sombra's hack, amplifying damage taken. Engage Ana in close-quarters combat for a swift elimination.

Genji's Agile Assault on Ana

Leverage Genji's mobility and double jump to assail Ana while evading her attacks. Ana's low rate of fire becomes a disadvantage against swift foes. Genji's burst damage and maneuverability provide a strategic edge in the confrontation.

Kiriko's Status Effect Removal

Employ Kiriko to swiftly remove Ana's potent status effects. Ana's sleep and healing inhibition present challenges, but Kiriko's Protection Suzu ensures rapid mitigation. React promptly to counteract status effects affecting tanks or allies, gaining a strategic advantage.

Counter for Zenyatta

Counter Character	Reason
Winston	・You can fight at close range, which is your strength due to your mobility ・Has an HP advantage
Widowmaker	・Hit scan makes long-range combat easier ・ Easier to snipe Zenyatta
Genji	・Easy to trade attacks ・Excellent burst damage
Sombra	・Zenyatta lacks self-dense, making him weak at close range.

Surprise Attack Zenyatta with Winston

Utilize Winston for a surprise attack on Zenyatta. While Zenyatta boasts high firepower among support heroes and the potent damage amplification from Orb of Discord, Winston's area-of-effect attacks can gradually wear down Zenyatta's HP.

Aim for Zenyatta's Head with Widowmaker

Leverage Widowmaker's sniper rifle to target Zenyatta's head. Due to Zenyatta's lack of mobility and floating nature, lining up headshots becomes more manageable.

Close the Gap and Defeat Zenyatta with Genji

Employ Genji to close in on Zenyatta and capitalize on your high burst damage to eliminate him. Zenyatta's high firepower is counteracted by a low fire rate, making it challenging for him to land shots on agile foes like Genji. Given Genji's proficiency in burst damage, engage Zenyatta in close-quarters combat and secure the takedown.

Amplify Damage and Eliminate Zenyatta with Sombra's Hack

Utilize Sombra's hack to increase the damage Zenyatta receives and secure the elimination. While Zenyatta packs a punch, his lack of mobility and defensive tools leaves him vulnerable. By hacking Zenyatta, Sombra enhances the damage dealt and overcomes him with close-range firepower.

Counter for Baptiste

Counter Character	Reason
D.Va	・Excellent in short-range firepower ・Can be pushed out of “Immortality Field” by charging with “Boosters”
Roadhog	・High HP advantage ・You can drag yourself out of “Immortality Field” with a hook
Genji	・Easy to avoid shooting ・Excellent instantaneous firepower

Use D\.Va to close the distance and defeat him.

Use D.Va to close the distance and defeat Baptiste. While Baptiste can attack from a long distance, D.Va has the firepower to defeat him. D.Va’s “Boosters” can push out the defense of “Immortality Field” as well.

Fish with Roadhog's hook and kill it.

Use Roadhog’s hook to hook Baptiste. Baptiste doesn't have enough firepower to defeat Roadhog, and even if it gets hit with an "Immortality Field", it has the advantage of being able to hook it out and then defeat it.

Defeat them all at once with Genji's instant firepower

Use Genji to engage Baptiste in melee combat and defeat him with instant firepower. Baptiste's main fire has a slow rate of fire, making it difficult to hit fast enemies at close range, so use Genji to avoid attacks and use instant firepower to quickly defeat them.

Counter for Brigitte

Counter Character	Reason
Pharah	・Able to attack from outside the range ・120 damage can remove HP
Hanzo	・Can attack from outside the range ・Can quickly break the shield
Sojourn	・Able to attack from outside the range ・ Easy to keep distance with Ability
Symmetra	- Turret is hard to break and can be stopped - High shield-splitting performance

Let's scrape from the sky with Farah

For Pharah, safely reduce HP from outside Brigitte's range. Brigitte, who only has melee attacks, can't reach Phara in the sky, so stay calm and hit her with missiles.

Destroy Hanzo with his shield

Hanzo will use high firepower to destroy Brigitte with her shield. You can attack Brigitte unilaterally from outside her range, and the "Storm Arrows" can quickly break Brigitte's shield, which has a durability of 250, so we recommend breaking the shield and defeating Brigitte.

Fight from a distance with Sojourn

Use Sojourn to fight a certain distance from Brigitte. Her character ability allows her to get close, but Sojourn can stop her with “Disruptor Shot” and break away with “Power Slide.”

Stop movement with Symmetra's Turret

Place Symmetra's Turret to stop Brigitte from approaching. Brigitte needs to come forward and fight, but if Turret is placed at a distance, it will take longer to destroy as it only has melee attacks and can hinder Brigitte.

Counter for Mercy

Counter Character	Reason
Winston	・You can fight at close range, which is your strength due to your mobility ・You can catch up even if you run away
Roadhog	・Can be killed by fishing with a hook ・Can prevent escape
Sombra	・Can prevent escape with hack ・Excellent short-range firepower

Chase and defeat Winston

Use Winston to chase and defeat Mercy. Mercy can quickly escape with her "Guardian Angel", which allows her to fly to her allies, but Winston can chase after her by jumping and defeat her with electric damage over time.

Fish with Roadhog's hook for a sure kill.

Fish with Roadhog's hook and kill Mercy. Mercy has a high evacuation ability, but if you hook it, it will not be able to move, and since it has a standard HP of 200, you can definitely kill it with Roadhog.

Stop Sombra from escaping and defeat him with this hack

Use Sombra to hack Mercy and defeat her when she can't do anything. If Mercy is hacked, she cannot use "Guardian Angel" and cannot escape, so use Sombra's short-range firepower to defeat her.

Counter for Moira

Counter Character	Reason
Widowmaker	・Can attack from outside the range ・Solo kill possible with sniper headshot
Pharah	・Can attack from outside the range ・Attack cannot reach anything other than ultimate
D.Va	・You can fight at close range, which is your strength due to your mobility ・You can erase “Biotic Orb”

Solo Kill with Widowmaker

Use Widowmaker to solo kill Moira from a distance. Widowmaker has the advantage of being able to attack from outside range and being able to ignore Moira's high survivability of "Fade" with headshots.

Let's destroy it from the sky with Pharah

Defeat Pharah by safely attacking from outside Moira's range. Moira has high survivability and is easy to hit with sub-fire, but her ULT is the only way to attack from above, so she can be safely defeated from above.

Approach and defeat with D\.Va

Use D.Va to approach and defeat Moira. D.Va has the advantage in both HP and firepower, and even if you run away with "Fade", you can quickly catch up with it, and you can also erase "Biotic Orb", so use D.Va to get up close and destroy it.

Counter for Lúcio

Counter Character	Reason
Pharah	・Can attack from outside the range ・Safe because the attack does not reach you
Winston	・Easy to attack ・Catch up with the fleeing Lucio
Roadhog	・You can catch it with a hook and destroy its mobility ・You can also catch it with a hook and kill it with certainty
Torbjorn	・Reduce HP with Turret

Fight from outside range with Pharah

Pharah jumps into the sky and is able to deal damage from a position where Lucio's attacks cannot reach. Lucio has high mobility due to his "Wall Ride", but from above it is easy to read his movements and hit him with missiles.

Reduce HP with Winston's area attack

Use Winston's electricity to reduce Lucio's HP. Lucio is quick and has a high self-healing ability, but Winston has the advantage of being able to reliably deal damage to Lucio who keeps running away.

Catch and kill with Roadhog's hook

Catch it with Roadhog's hook and destroy Lucio's mobility to defeat him. Lucio is difficult to hit with attacks like "Wall Ride" and "Speed ​​Boost," but if you catch him with Roadhog's hook, you can steal his mobility and kill him.

Torbjörn's Turret deals damage

Use Torbjörn's Turret to damage Lucio as he runs along the wall. Lucio has high mobility and is difficult to deal damage to, but Turret automatically targets the enemy accurately, so it is advantageous in that it can reliably reduce Lucio's HP.

Counter for Kiriko

Counter Character	Reason
Pharah	・Easy to avoid attacks in the sky ・Easy to reduce HP with high firepower
Sombra	・Ability can be blocked by hacking ・Excellent in short-range firepower
Tracer	- Fast and easy to avoid attacks - Excellent short-range firepower

Defeat while avoiding attacks with Pharah

Use Phara to fly above and defeat Kiriko while avoiding his attacks. Kiriko's sub-fire can reach a long distance, but the bullet speed is slow, so take careful evasive action and destroy it with a missile that deals 120 damage.

Defeat Sombra by blocking Ability with hack

Use Sombra's hack to block Kiriko's abilities and defeat him. Kiriko's "Swift Step" and "Protection Suzu" both have high self-defense abilities, so hack them to prevent them from being used and defeat them with Sombra's close-range firepower.

Chase down while avoiding attacks with Tracer

Take advantage of Tracer's high mobility to corner Kiriko while avoiding his attacks. Kiriko's kunai has a small hit detection, so it is easy for Tracer to avoid it, and even if it escapes with "Swift Step", it can quickly catch up and defeat it.
