Excellent Guide! Seems like assassins have very few direct hero counters and require more item based/vision based counters.

One more (optional) suggestion is every Skye guide I have seen shows Phinn as her lowest or almost lowest threat for good reason. If you avoid his ultimate, he is easy to kite and chase down. He is pitifully slow and Skye's A ability Forward Barrage melts his hp with ease.

But what about CP Saw?

Not nearly as effective because of rough, uneven timing of abilities, high cool downs even with clockwork, and pitiful early game. WP cleans her up more efficiently.

Never said I did Maximus. Careful with your claims buddy. I venerate the ye old Glass Cannon Saw build very much but he acts more as a swift, bursty assassin with Roadie Run and an extremely vulnerable AOE Mage with Supressing Fire and Mad Cannon. The only problem is his sustained, one target damage is not as efficient as WP Saw's. I have my fair share of experience here as well. Do keep that in mind.

Amazing guide! I think Saw is the best counter for Alpha because he makes mincemeat out of her during her reboot.

I agree. Petal's damage output is quite surprising, depending on the context. She was my first hero and still holds a special spot in my <3

Only thing I would add is that Ringo (Crystal or weapon) counters Reim hard. Too fast to be tagged and can chase him down easily with an Achille's Shot.

To add to Ozo, Krul shuts him down very quickly. His slow stops Ozo in his tracks, and he can't out damage or out burst him. The best way to deal with a Krul with an Ozo is to leave him to the laner because you CANNOT beat him without keeping him stunned for the duration of the fight. This was very thought out and put together. Great job.

To add to Phinn, Fortress is a great counter to him because the burst from bleeding stacks is based on the amount of Max Health a hero has, the mortal wound stops Phinn from healing, and it makes Phinn slower than he already is.

Truth. ;)

Heh nice thing. But you forgot a few things about Vox: Ardan's gauntlet can easily put him in a bad place, and his best course of action is to take the stun and sonic zoom out. This also works the other way around. Ardan's gauntlet puts all 3 enemies in one compact space for the ult to wreck them and allow those resonance bounces to hit.

Thank you so much for this guide. Helped me so much especially the Catherine part with all CAPS that Made me think again to attack her when she has her stormgaurd on.

Love it, as a Support who favors Catherine. This guide shows that
she can be more useful against heroes than people think
