What Kaja is bad at
- Divine Judgement's suppression is the whole kit's payoff — missing it or having it baited onto a decoy wastes his entire engage.
- Relies on getting into melee range to land his combo, leaving him exposed to a shield-block or displacement.
- Moderate durability for a frontline role, so an all-in on the wrong target can get him killed before backup arrives.
- Paralyze only slows and weakens for a fraction of a second per hit, so no single skill of his holds a target still on its own.

Hard counters to Kaja
Pick one of these and the matchup is decided before the fight starts.
CyclopsMageHardStar Power Lockdown homes in and immobilizes Kaja before he closes into suppression range, shutting the engage down before Divine Judgement ever comes online.
OdetteMageHardOdette's ultimate deals a huge burst of magic damage in a wide, hard-to-dodge circle, threatening to kill Kaja before he can ever close into suppression range.
HanzoAssassinHardKinjutsu: Pinnacle Ninja leaves Hanzo's real body invincible while Hanekage charges in through terrain, so Kaja's suppression window closes on a body he cannot kill.
Soft counters
Favourable, but Kaja can still play around them.
EstesSupportSoftEstes's continuous team-wide heal can top the suppressed target back up faster than Kaja's team can punish the 1.5-second lockdown.
RubyFighterSoftLet's Dance! hands Ruby a free dash after every skill cast, so she can slip out of range at the exact moment Kaja commits Divine Judgement.
LesleyMarksman · AssassinSoftMaster of Camouflage hides her and boosts her speed the moment Kaja approaches, and Ultimate Snipe fires from far outside the range he needs to close.
ZhaskMageSoftNightmaric Spawn holds the front and pokes on its own while Zhask stays behind it, so Kaja rarely gets a clean run at the hero Divine Judgement actually needs.
SunFighterSoftSwift Exchange conceals Sun and leaves a Doppelganger in his place, baiting Kaja into committing Divine Judgement at the exact moment the real target is gone.
LaylaMarksmanSoftVoid Projectile's Magic Mark stuns Kaja the moment she follows up, cutting off the Lightning Bomb approach before he ever reaches suppression range.
ChipSupport · TankSoftOvertime's charge knocks Kaja back mid-approach, and his Shortcut portal lets a target teleport away before Divine Judgement can land.
