How to counter Deadman DannyHow to counter

Counter heroes, counter items and the window to fight

Heroes that do best against Deadman Danny, the items that do best when Deadman Danny is on the enemy team, and the window to fight. Each number compares a hero's (or item's) result against Deadman Danny with its usual result, relative to how everyone does against Deadman Danny, so neither a strong counter-pick nor a strong Deadman Danny skews the list.

Their combo: Deadman Danny marks you with Strix Salvo, grabs you with Close The Deal (10m), then cashes the mark with a charged shot for bonus damage and a slow.

When to fight: If his Chimera Mk1 dive hits no hero, he stuns himself for 1.3s and loses 10% max health. All-in.

Beware: Close The Deal deals 75% more damage to targets under half health. Don’t trail alone at a fight’s edge when you’re low.
