How to counter Arlott
2 hard counters, 6 soft · 4 counter-items · full Arlott guide
What Arlott is bad at
- Vengeance's reset only triggers off Marked targets, so an isolated enemy with no nearby allies limits his chain-dash potential
- Low base durability for a fighter means an interrupted dash chain can leave him exposed to a burst punish
- Dauntless Strike's full stun duration requires precise spacing at max range, which is easy to misjudge in a live fight
- His damage leans heavily on landing the Vengeance reset, so missing it against evasive targets cuts the whole combo short
Every counter below works by pressing one of these.

Soft counters
Favourable, but Arlott can still play around them.
SunFighterSoftHis clone illusions confuse which target is actually the real one to mark, and his sustain lets him outlast Arlott's burst-focused combo.
LukasFighterSoftHis evasive mobility lets him dodge Dauntless Strike's stun and avoid ever sitting still long enough for a clean Vengeance reset.
ZhaskMageSoftHis summoned spawnling and ranged poke whittle Arlott down before he can close the gap to use Vengeance.
HanabiMarksmanSoftHer long attack range and burst punish his approach before Dauntless Strike's stun ever lands.
FreyaFighterSoftLeap of Faith pulls him back in on her terms, and the shields from Spirit Combo and Valkyrie Descent absorb the burst his combo depends on.
HylosTankSoftHis tanky sustain and CC-heavy kit absorb Arlott's burst combo without dying, punishing the all-in.
