Heroes That Counter Amily

Amily Amily is a melee fighter who specializes in 1v1 duels: her passive Duel Duel adds 50% bonus damage to basic attacks and Combo Combo when they hit only one target. Skill 1 Kickblade Kickblade throws a blade that bounces between enemies and slows them, Skill 2 Combo dashes forward to deliver two kicks (the second one knocks airborne) and has a passive that restores HP and energy out of combat, while her ultimate Enrage Enrage , after a 1-second channel, grants her physical attack, movement speed and damage reduction and deals magic damage around her for 8 seconds. Amily’s weaknesses are that she has only one dash, must stand right next to her target to deal damage, and her ultimate grants no CC immunity at all. Good kiters, CC-immune heroes and hard CC are what she fears most. Counters to Amily Amily include Florentino, Bolt Baron, Bijan in the Dark Slayer Lane, Fennik in the jungle, Aleister, Liliana in the mid lane, Thane, Y’bneth, Baldum at support and Hayate, Slimz in the Abyssal Dragon Lane.

Items to counter Amily

Sonic Boots

Sonic Boots Sonic Boots reduces damage taken from basic attacks by 10%, plus 60 movement speed. Amily Amily deals most of her damage through basic attacks, especially when her passive Duel Duel adds 50% while she’s hitting a single target, so these are sensible boots for the Dark Slayer laner or the frontliner who has to tank her.


Shield of the Lost

The Sentinel passive of Shield of the Lost Shield of the Lost reduces the attack speed by 30% and movement speed by 15% of whoever just hit you. Amily has to stay close and keep basic attacking to make the most of Duel Duel , so losing both attack speed and movement speed means she deals less damage and struggles to chase you when you retreat, even while boosted by Enrage Enrage .


Mail of Pain

Mail of Pain Mail of Pain reflects 5% of the damage you take back to the enemy as true damage, and activating Retaliation raises this to 25% for 3 seconds. The reflected amount falls off with distance, but Amily Amily has to stay close to kick and basic attack, so she takes almost all of it. Turn on Retaliation as soon as she activates Enrage Enrage and dives in to burst you.

How to counter Amily in a 1vs1

Wait for Combo before trading: Combo Combo is Amily’s only dash, used both to engage and to escape. Once she’s thrown it at you, that’s the safest window to fight back, since she has no way out.

Fight near minions: The passive Duel Duel only adds 50% damage when her attacks and Combo hit a single target. Standing near the minion wave makes her kicks hit multiple targets easily, and she loses that bonus damage.

Don’t let her rest: Out of combat, Amily gains movement speed and regenerates 1% HP and mana per second. Poking her and then walking away is pointless; keep up the pressure or call your jungler once she’s low.

Back off when she channels: Enrage Enrage needs a 1-second channel before empowering her for 8 seconds. When you see her channeling, retreat to your tower and only come back once the effect ends.

How to counter Amily in teamfights

Save your CC for when she lands: Amily has to use Combo Combo to dive your backline. Don’t waste stuns or knock-ups while she’s still far away; wait for the dash to finish and then lock her down, when she has no escape left.

Her ultimate has no CC immunity: Enrage Enrage grants physical attack, movement speed and damage reduction, but she can still be stunned, imprisoned or slowed as normal. A well-timed Wild Prison or Magic Prison will burn through her entire empowered window.

Fight as a group: In full teamfights her kicks easily hit multiple targets, so her passive Duel Duel struggles to kick in. Don’t let her isolate one of your carries, especially the marksman and mage.

Dodge the first blade: Kickblade Kickblade heavily slows the first enemy hit for 1 second. Whoever stands in front should be your frontline, not your team’s main carry.

Tips for Countering Amily

Strengths to Watch Out For

  • The Duel passive adds 50% damage when her attacks and Combo hit only one target, very strong in 1v1 fights.
  • Enrage grants physical attack, movement speed and damage reduction, and deals magic damage around her for 8 seconds.
  • Regenerates HP and mana out of combat thanks to Combo’s passive, rarely needs to recall.
  • Kickblade slows multiple targets and reduces its own cooldown when the blade returns.

Weaknesses to Exploit

  • Only one dash, from Combo, to both close the gap and escape.
  • Has to stand right next to the target to deal damage, easy to kite.
  • Enrage needs a 1-second channel and grants no CC immunity, so she can still be stunned or imprisoned.
  • Hard to keep the single-target bonus from her passive in crowded teamfights.
