What Natan is bad at
- No hard CC beyond a 0.1-second stun, so he can't lock down a target alone
- Reverse-Clone only inherits partial stats and vanishes if Natan wanders too far away
- Early game is weak before Entanglement stacks and item power come online
- The clone-swap on Entropy? has its own 12-second cooldown and isn't always available
Every counter below works by pressing one of these.
Hard counters to Natan
Pick one of these and the matchup is decided before the fight starts.
NolanAssassinHardNolan's Gauge dash and backward-dash ultimate close distance faster than Natan can kite, and Fracture's burst can kill him before Entropy?'s 12-second clone-swap cooldown is ready to bail him out.
ArlottFighter · AssassinHardDauntless Strike stuns Natan for a full second at the edge of its area, and Demon Gaze then Marks him so Vengeance charges in for double damage and refreshes itself — all before Entropy?'s 12-second swap is back.
BaxiaTankHardBaxia Mark cuts a flat amount off every single instance of damage he takes, and Natan's kit lands in exactly that pattern — Superposition, Interference! and the Reverse-Clone's mirrored shots all arrive as separate small hits.
KarinaAssassinHardShadow Combo's third consecutive hit adds True Damage off his lost HP and Shadow Assault resets outright on a kill, so she can delete a squishy Natan before Entanglement stacks or the Reverse-Clone escape matter.
NataliaAssassinHardAssassin Instinct teleports her behind an isolated Natan with a silence attached, and she can sit in a bush and re-enter Camouflage the moment he repositions with Entropy?.
SaberAssassinHardSaber's Triple Sweep locks its target in place for the full duration, and against a hero with no hard CC-breaking tool like Natan, that's a guaranteed kill window regardless of Entropy?'s cooldown.
Soft counters
Favourable, but Natan can still play around them.
GrangerMarksmanSoftRhapsody's guaranteed-crit sixth shot out-trades Natan's basic-attack ramp-up in a direct lane duel, and Rondo's dash refunds Gun Energy on the way out, so he leaves the trade faster than Entanglement stacks build.
LolitaSupport · TankSoftGuardian's Reflection blocks and reflects projectiles for 3 seconds, which is most of what Natan throws, and Noumenon Blast's charged stun catches a hero whose only escape is on a 12-second cooldown.
BelerickTankSoftWrath of Dryad taunts Natan into attacking Belerick, and Deadly Thorns fires back off the damage he pours in, punishing his basic-attack-reliant kit either way.
KaleaSupport · FighterSoftKalea's kit is built around relentless close-range dueling pressure and gap-closing, letting her get on top of Natan and force a fight before his Entanglement stacks or basic-attack ramp-up can punish her from range.
