How to counter SilverHow to counter

Counter heroes, counter items and the window to fight

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

Their combo: Silver blocks your movement abilities and stamina with Entangling Bola, marks you with Boot Kick for bonus damage, then unloads Slam Fire’s empowered shots.

When to fight: When Lycan Curse ends and she’s human again, use your CC and burst.

Beware: Kite the werewolf at range. Her bloodlust builds faster below 30% health, and at tier 3 a hero kill refreshes her abilities and the transformation.
