How to counter Silvanna
5 hard counters, 3 soft · 3 counter-items · full Silvanna guide
What Silvanna is bad at
- Imperial Justice only restrains the single closest enemy, which can be the wrong target in a chaotic fight
- Cometic Lance's stun requires reaching max range or hitting an enemy, so a whiffed dash wastes the setup
- No ranged poke — she has to commit to melee range for all of her damage
- Falls off if Imperial Justice is baited out early, since its long cooldown leaves her without hard CC for the rest of the fight
Every counter below works by pressing one of these.
