Items to Counter Biron
These boots grant 60 movement speed and reduce the damage you take from basic attacks by 10%. Most of Biron’s burst comes from his regular mace swings empowered by
Battle Without Retreat
, plus the attack right after
Storm Assault
, so you lose less HP in every trade in the Dark Slayer lane.
After each skill cast, your next attack within 5 seconds deals bonus physical damage in a 3m radius around the target and slows by 30% for 0.5 seconds. Melee fighters use this effect to keep pinning Biron down; with only one dash, he struggles to chase or escape.
Freeze makes each basic attack or skill slow the target by an additional 5% to 10%, lasting 1.5 seconds and stacking up to 2 times; Chill adds periodic bonus physical damage. In a marksman’s hands, this item turns every shot into a slow, making it hard for Biron to catch up even after using
Storm Assault
.
Every damaging skill applies Frostbite, slowing the opponent by 20% for 2 seconds. This lets mages keep Biron outside his mace range, since he only has
Storm Assault
to close in and must land hits to build Energy.
How to Counter Biron in 1vs1 Duels
Read the Energy bar: Biron is only empowered at 30 Energy or more, and each empowered attack consumes Energy. When the bar is nearly full, don’t stand and trade; right after he has unloaded an empowered attack is your time to counterattack.
Dodge the attack after Storm Assault: After the charge from
Storm Assault
, it’s the next basic attack that knocks up and stuns when he has enough Energy. Step back as soon as he dashes in, or use a dash or CC-immunity skill to dodge exactly that beat.
Trade while he clears minions:
Electric Mace Strike
heals Biron, but the effect is halved against non-hero units. Attack while he has to use skills on minions so he heals as little as possible.
Call the jungler when he pushes deep: Once he has used Storm Assault to go in, Biron has almost no way out. Bait him into pushing the wave up, then call your jungler for a gank.
How to Counter Biron in Team Fights
Spread out before Magnetic Gravity:
Magnetic Gravity
slows enemies in the area, and the empowered version also raises an electric field that steals each enemy hero’s movement speed for Biron, with the field’s radius growing with each skill level. Clumping up just puts your whole team in position to be chased down.
CC him the moment he dives in: Biron has no CC immunity. Stunning, knocking up or imprisoning him right as he charges into your formation cuts his entire combo; Aleister’s
Magic Prison
and Baldum’s
Wild Prison
do this best.
Protect the carries: Biron must land hits to build Energy. Keep your tank between him and your marksman and mage so he wastes Energy on a durable target.
Kite once he’s used his skills: While Storm Assault is on cooldown, Biron can only walk. This is when ranged heroes like Hayate can back off and shoot at the same time.
Tips for Countering Biron
Strengths to Watch Out For
- Empowered basic attacks deal bonus damage and heal at the same time, making him very strong in 1v1 trades.
- Empowered Storm Assault knocks up and stuns, enough to hold the target for the full combo.
- Magnetic Gravity grants a shield and steals enemy heroes’ movement speed, helping him both survive and chase.
- Electric Mace Strike heals him every time it hits an enemy, giving him solid lane sustain.
Weaknesses to Exploit
- Only one dash, Storm Assault, so he’s easy to kite.
- No CC immunity or cleanse.
- Below 30 Energy his skills aren’t empowered and his power drops noticeably.
- Healing from Electric Mace Strike is halved against minions and monsters.
- Has to stick to his target to build Energy; vulnerable to true damage and ranged heroes.
