Bijan Counters 2026: Best Counter Picks & Builds

Zanis

All of Bijan’s crowd control comes from his skills: the knock-up circle from Desert Onslaught , the slow from Desert Echo , and the sand beast’s charge. The passive Dragoon lets Zanis cleanse crowd control (except suppression) whenever he casts a skill, so these effects only hold him for a moment. Wait for Bijan to use up his dashes, then Zanis lands Dragon Wraith right on him: stun, slow, and true damage, and all extra damage dealt during the empowerment is also true damage, so the armor stacked from Sand's Gift can’t stop it. Tail Sweep grants bonus attack speed and lifesteal for extended fights in the Dark Slayer lane.

Florentino

Bijan survives duels thanks to the bonus armor from Sand's Gift , and Florentino has the tools to break through it. Each hit of Triple Threat deals bonus true damage equal to a portion of the target’s max HP, while Gentlemen's Duel Duel reduces Bijan’s armor for 5 seconds. Throughout the Duel, Florentino is immune to all crowd control, so neither the knock-up circle from Desert Onslaught nor the charge from Desert Beast can interrupt his slashing combo. Pick up flowers from Blossom to reset the cooldown of Triple Threat, and use the CC-immune footwork from Shuffle to escape the slow from Desert Echo .

Lauriel

Every engage Bijan has is a dash in a fixed direction: Desert Onslaught , Desert Echo , and even the sand beast from Desert Beast . Lauriel has Wings of Purity to dash out of that path, then flaps her wings to fire 3 beams of light in return, each one that hits an enemy also reducing her cooldowns. Standing inside the Great Judgment circle, her cooldowns recover twice as fast, which means more dashes to make Bijan whiff. Lauriel deals magic damage, and once 4 marks from Heaven's Punishment are stacked, the true damage explosion with healing and a slow makes it hard for Bijan to chase her.

Baldum

Bijan deals purely physical damage, and Baldum ‘s Wild Stomp both slows and reduces the physical damage Baldum takes from enemies hit by it, so the sweeps of Desert Echo barely faze him. When Bijan carries an ally in with Desert Beast and stops, drop Wild Prison right where the two land: after 0.5 seconds it becomes a zone that slows for 0.6 seconds, then the ground collapses, imprisoning every enemy inside for 3 seconds, unable to act. If Bijan hasn’t used his ultimate yet, Wild Charge charges in to knock him up and deal an extra 8% max HP as physical damage.

Arum

Bijan has no way to escape Snare from Arum once the sand beast has stopped: Arum dashes in to bind him, both are immobilized in an unbreakable link, and he loses any chance to dash again with Desert Onslaught or Desert Echo to reach your backline. Upon casting, Arum summons 3 beasts, enough for Uncaged to slow, heavily slow, and then stun for 1 second as the link ends. The beasts from Ravenous Beasts deal magic damage and heal Arum, something the armor from Sand's Gift can’t block.
