How to counter Guinevere
3 hard counters, 7 soft · 3 counter-items · full Guinevere guide
What Guinevere is bad at
- Fully committed to melee range for her whole combo — no ranged poke or safe engage tool
- Her plan depends on landing the first knockup from Spatial Migration; whiffing it removes the juggle entirely
- CC immunity only kicks in during Violet Requiem's cast, so she can be locked down before the ultimate starts
- Squishy relative to other exp-lane fighters, so trading into tanks without a knockup lined up goes poorly
Every counter below works by pressing one of these.
Hard counters to Guinevere
Pick one of these and the matchup is decided before the fight starts.
KhufraTankHardBouncing Ball knocks Spatial Migration's blink out of the air the moment she tries it, and Tyrant's Rage stuns her against a wall before she gets a chance to start her juggle.
DiggieSupportHardDiggie's Time Journey clears the knockup or slow Guinevere lands off his whole team, undoing the setup her entire combo depends on before Violet Requiem can even follow up.
KajaSupport · FighterHardKaja's suppression ultimate can grab Guinevere before she activates Violet Requiem's CC immunity, locking her down completely outside her own combo window.
Soft counters
Favourable, but Guinevere can still play around them.
WanwanMarksmanSoftWanwan's stacking dashes give her more mobility than Guinevere's melee combo can keep up with, letting her kite and poke from range before the knockup ever lands.
MashaFighter · TankSoftMasha's three HP bars mean a full juggle only strips one of them, and she ignores an instance of damage every time a bar breaks, so Violet Requiem's multi-tick damage just hands her a Thunderclap reset.
ArgusFighterSoftEternal Evil clears Argus's debuffs and converts everything he deals in Fallen Angel form back into HP, so he walks out of Guinevere's burst combo and punishes her once her skills are down and her CC immunity window is gone.
MiyaMarksmanSoftMiya's ultimate grants stealth and a burst of attack speed, letting her vanish and reposition before Guinevere can close in with Spatial Migration.
JoyAssassinSoftJoy's on-beat dash chain and the shield each rhythm hit grants let her skip past Spatial Migration's knockup and Energy Wave's slow while closing the distance on Guinevere herself.
BenedettaAssassin · FighterSoftAlecto: Final Blow dashes in untargetable and its Sword Intent slows Guinevere by 50%, so Benedetta finishes her combo before Guinevere gets to start her own.
FannyAssassinSoftFanny's cable mobility keeps her off the ground and outside the range where Spatial Migration can catch her, letting Fanny strike first from unpredictable angles.
