How to counter Dyrroth
3 hard counters, 7 soft · 3 counter-items · full Dyrroth guide
What Dyrroth is bad at
- No hard crowd control of his own; he only slows, so targets can still react and cast during his engage window.
- Spectre Step stops on the first non-minion target hit, so it can whiff past a minion wave or a body-blocking tank.
- Fully reliant on Extra Physical Attack scaling; he falls off if forced into a defense-heavy build early.
- Abysm Strike has a visible wind-up and travels in a straight line, giving mobile targets a window to dodge it.
Every counter below works by pressing one of these.

Soft counters
Favourable, but Dyrroth can still play around them.
LyliaMageSoftBlack Shoes rewinds Lylia to where she stood four seconds ago while untargetable, punishing Dyrroth's telegraphed, straight-line ultimate by simply not being where it lands.
SuyouAssassin · FighterSoftBlade Surge blinks Suyou to his thrown weapon and slashes back out, dodging Abysm Strike's straight-line hit and repositioning him out of Burst Strike's slow.
DiggieSupportSoftDiggie's Time Journey clears the slow from Burst Strike and shields the target through Dyrroth's burst window.
MinsittharFighterSoftSpear of Glory stuns on the tip and drags Dyrroth back to Minsitthar on the pull-back, and King's Calling's Royal Guard field stops him using Spectre Step at all.
BenedettaAssassin · FighterSoftBenedetta's untargetable dash-cancel state lets her dodge Burst Strike and Abysm Strike entirely while punishing his cooldowns.
ArgusFighterSoftEternal Evil clears Argus's debuffs and converts every point of damage he deals during it back into HP, so he heals through Dyrroth's burst combo — and Dyrroth lacks the sustained damage to finish him afterwards.
GrangerMarksmanSoftGranger's reload burst can out-trade Dyrroth's engage window with faster single-target damage before his Rage threshold or ultimate lands.
