How to counter Granger
4 hard counters, 4 soft · 3 counter-items · full Granger guide
What Granger is bad at
- Extremely squishy with zero personal CC, dies instantly if caught by any hard engage
- Both his gun and cannon run on separate energy pools that drain fast, leaving dead time if mismanaged
- Needs farm and levels to grow his Energy cap before he can output his full burst — weak in the earliest minutes
- No skill in his kit provides a shield or sustain, so he lives or dies purely on positioning
Every counter below works by pressing one of these.
Hard counters to Granger
Pick one of these and the matchup is decided before the fight starts.
FannyAssassinHardFanny's cable mobility closes the distance on Granger instantly no matter how far back he plays, and her burst combo kills him before he can react with any skill.
LingAssassinHardLing's wall-climbing dashes ignore Granger's positioning entirely, and his burst is more than enough to kill him in one combo before he can fire back.
LolitaSupport · TankHardGuardian's Reflection reflects projectiles for a full 3 seconds, sending a Rhapsody volley or a Death Sonata shell straight back at Granger instead of letting it land.
HelcurtAssassinHardDark Night Falls strips Granger's sight range and hides his team from him, and Hidden Terror out of Prowler state terrifies him before he can line up a single shot.
Soft counters
Favourable, but Granger can still play around them.
HildaFighter · TankSoftBlessing of Wilderness hands her a 15%-Max-HP shield out of every bush and Combat Ritual's 60% Movement Speed closes the gap, putting her in melee range where Granger has no tool to peel her off.
MathildaSupport · AssassinSoftGuiding Wind's leap plus the Movement Speed Ancestral Guidance keeps handing her let Mathilda chase Granger through his Death Sonata rolls, and Circling Eagle gives her a second dash mid-chase.
UranusTankSoftRadiance regenerates HP off every hit Uranus absorbs, so Granger's burst just feeds the stacks that heal him back while he walks the marksman down.
IrithelMarksmanSoftJungle Heart lets Irithel fire while moving and stack extra bolts, so she out-trades Granger's stand-still Rhapsody volleys without ever entering Rondo's dash range.
