How to counter SolomonHow to counter

Counter heroes, counter items and the window to fight

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

Their combo: Solomon immobilises your group for 1s with Rook Battery, then Develop Queen releases squares in straight lines that stun after a delay.

Beware: Step out of the queen’s lines when the squares appear. He has only 2 stamina, so he’s easy to catch, but Kingside Knight gives an ally a barrier and stamina.
