How to counter HazeHow to counter

Counter heroes, counter items and the window to fight

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

Their combo: Haze goes invisible with Smoke Bomb to flank, then channels Bullet Dance for 3.5s, firing at everyone near her with bonus evasion.

When to fight: Guides recommend holding a stun, silence or sleep for Bullet Dance instead of spending it early.

Beware: With 2 Smoke Bomb charges (tier 2) she can escape a failed all-in. Bullet resist blunts her; she has 730 health.
