What Vexana is bad at
- No personal escape or mobility skill, so she dies fast if caught out of position
- Eternal Guard is a 15-second summon rather than a burst, so it contributes nothing to a fight decided in the first few seconds
- Cursed Blast's mark telegraphs the strike, letting ranged enemies simply step off it
- Squishy in the early game before items and levels bring her burst online
Every counter below works by pressing one of these.
Hard counters to Vexana
Pick one of these and the matchup is decided before the fight starts.
AliceTank · MageHardBlood Banquet heals Alice every half-second she stays in the fight, out-pacing what Cursed Blast and Deathly Grasp can put out, and Crimson Gleam's Scarlet Shadow blink closes on a mage with no escape tool.
BenedettaAssassin · FighterHardAn Eye for An Eye blocks Deathly Grasp outright and turns the fended-off terrify into a 1.5-second stun on Vexana, and Alecto: Final Blow's untargetable dash closes the gap before Cursed Blast's 0.8s delay lands.
NataliaAssassinHardNatalia's stealth lets her walk up unseen and burst Vexana down before Eternal Guard is even summoned — Vexana has no vision tool or escape to react.
KaguraMageHardKagura's umbrella-teleport dash closes distance and dodges Deathly Grasp's linear telegraph, then her own burst combo outpaces Vexana's slower, delayed damage.
Soft counters
Favourable, but Vexana can still play around them.
X.BorgFighterSoftFiraga Armor absorbs the burst from Deathly Grasp and Cursed Blast entirely before X.Borg loses it, so Vexana's combo often just strips armor instead of health.
HanzoAssassinSoftNinjutsu: Dark Mist dashes him clear of Deathly Grasp's linear path, and Kinjutsu: Pinnacle Ninja sends Hanekage at her through terrain while his real body sits invincible elsewhere, so Vexana never gets to zone him out.
KimmyMarksman · MageSoftKimmy moves and aims her Spray Gun at the same time, so she never stands still where Deathly Grasp's line or Cursed Blast's marked ground can catch her while chipping Vexana down.
FaramisSupport · MageSoftCult Altar's Specter state briefly resurrects allies Nether Touch and Eternal Guard had already killed, erasing the kill value Vexana's zone control just bought.
