Heroes That Counter Amily
Items to counter Amily
Sonic Boots
reduces damage taken from basic attacks by 10%, plus 60 movement speed.
Amily
deals most of her damage through basic attacks, especially when her passive
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.
The Sentinel passive of
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
, 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
.
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
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
and dives in to burst you.
How to counter Amily in a 1vs1
Wait for Combo before trading:
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
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
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
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
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
struggles to kick in. Don’t let her isolate one of your carries, especially the marksman and mage.
Dodge the first blade:
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.
