How to counter Kadita
4 hard counters, 5 soft · 3 counter-items · full Kadita guide
What Kadita is bad at
- Loses most of her burst potential if Breath of the Ocean's delayed eruption is dodged.
- Squishy outside of Ocean Ode's damage reduction window — once her mobility skills are down she is easy to burst.
- Rough Waves' invincibility ends before the return-wave damage, leaving a brief vulnerable window.
- Relies on landing her combo in one clean sequence — whiffing Ocean Ode wastes both the escape and the setup.
Every counter below works by pressing one of these.

FaramisSupport · MageSoftShadow Stampede reaches her through terrain and Ghost Bursters punishes the moment she commits, while Cult Altar's Specter state can hand back whoever she just burst down.
IrithelMarksmanSoftIrithel fires while retreating, so she whittles Kadita down and keeps backing out of Ocean Ode's reach before Kadita can ever close the distance.
