How to counter Lady GeistHow to counter

Counter heroes, counter items and the window to fight

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

Their combo: Lady Geist stacks Malice on you (each stack slows you and increases your damage taken), swaps health with you using Soul Exchange (5.5m range; tier 2 also silences enemies within 25m), then lands Essence Bomb.

When to fight: Soul Exchange has a very long cooldown (220s base). Once it’s spent, she can’t flip the fight again soon. Also punish her after she pays 30% health for Essence Bomb.

Beware: While Soul Exchange is ready, don’t stand within 5.5m of her at high health. Anti-heal crushes her Life Drain sustain.
