Billow Counters 2026: Best Counter Picks & Builds

Rourke

Rourke activates Determination to instantly cleanse all CC and gain a shield; as long as the shield holds, he’s immune to CC, so the slow and knockback from Death From Below can’t move Rourke out of position. On cast, Rourke also gains Physical Attack and Armor for 6 seconds, right when Billow dives in to trade damage at close range. Arrows from his passive Scattershot stack armor reduction on Billow, while Charged Shot slows the movement speed of victims hit by all 4 arrows, making it hard for Billow to slip away with Wavebreaker when he’s low on HP.

Enzo

Billow’s strength lies in his chain of dashes from Wavebreaker , Space Split and Death From Below , but they’re all useless once he’s rooted. Enzo charges Judgment to bind the first victim hit as the sickle is pulled back, then uses Amputate to drag him in even closer. If Billow still finds a way to slip out, Decapitate lets Enzo strike from right behind the target marked by Judgment, and Enzo takes reduced damage while moving. Billow has no CC immunity, so landing a single sickle is enough for the whole team to burst him down.

Biron

Biron is the kind of fighter Billow can’t burst down quickly: every swing of Electric Mace Strike deals physical damage and heals, while Magnetic Gravity creates a shield the moment he slams his weapon into the ground. Once the inner energy built from Battle Without Retreat reaches 30 points, the empowered version of Magnetic Gravity raises an electric grid that steals movement speed from each enemy hero, taking away the speed advantage Billow gets from Wavebreaker . The empowered attack after Storm Assault knocks up, stuns and then slows for another 1 second, pinning Billow in place before he can chase with Space Split or retreat.

Marja

Billow needs opponents to stand still so he can pile on damage and wait for their HP to drop low enough for his passive Hunter to deal bonus true damage. Marja wrecks that plan with Vile Spirit : Marja becomes untargetable, cleanses all debuffs such as the slow from Death From Below , then damages nearby enemies when the state ends. Soul-Devouring Worm links to Billow, slowing him, draining his physical attack and healing Marja, making every chase with Space Split far less effective. Minions from Soul Curse keep draining HP while both sides grind it out.

Veera

Veera locks Billow down with Mesmerize : the kiss deals magic damage and stuns the victim, enough to cut his dash chain from Space Split into Death From Below before he reaches you. Right after the stun, Inferno Bats summons up to 5 bats to attack nearby enemies, and together with Hell Bat that’s enough to drain an assassin with no CC immunity dry. Billow only heals when his skills land, so keep your distance and always save Mesmerize for when he surfaces from Wavebreaker . The passive Come Hither grants 25% movement speed out of combat, helping Veera reposition before getting caught.

Mina

Billow wants to dive straight onto the marksman, but Mina ‘s Dark Dominion forces all nearby enemies to focus their basic attacks on her for 1.5 seconds, so the chase from Space Split ends up landing on the tank. Every basic attack Billow throws at Mina also stacks Vengeance from her passive Sweet Revenge ; at 10 stacks, Whirling Scythe is refreshed, dealing true damage and healing more. If he tries to slip away with Wavebreaker , Death Scythe pulls him in and slows his movement speed by 50% so allies can strike in time.

Gildur

Gildur has two stuns waiting for Billow: Extravagant fires a force blast that stuns every victim it hits, while Indulgence creates a magic circle that repeatedly deals magic damage, slows and stuns enemies within range. Billow usually opens with a dash from Wavebreaker and then chases with Space Split ; drop Indulgence right where he lands and every dash after that is wasted. Each time Gildur casts a skill he also gains a shield from his passive Midas Touch , enough to stand in front of the carry without fear of being burst down.
