Dirak Counters 2026: Best Counter Picks & Builds

Iggy

Explosive Fireball and Ember's Gaze from Iggy explode right at the target’s location instead of traveling as projectiles, so Dirak ‘s Genesis Barrier can barely stop them. Explosive Fireball bombards a 3m area every 0.75 seconds, and Dirak has no dash to escape the blast zone, especially while he stands still aiming where Fallen Star will drop. Ember’s Gaze can stack multiple charges, so Iggy can finish him off from very far away, well outside the knockback range of Astrolabe . Fire Shadow grants movement speed to leave the circle before the meteor lands. The fireballs from Fire Shadow are still projectiles, though, so don’t throw them straight into the barrier.

Kahlii

Soul Summoning from Kahlii is a cursed zone that deals damage every 0.5 seconds and slows, and since it isn’t a projectile, Genesis Barrier can’t block it. A Dirak who has no dash to begin with and is also slowed will have a very hard time dodging it. The passive and active of Spiritual Blessing give Kahlii bonus movement speed and a shield, letting her step out of the Fallen Star circle before the meteor lands. Save Ethereal Pulse for when the barrier is gone: 55 waves of spirits over 5 seconds is a relentless stream of damage that can even chew through the energy Magic Body uses to protect Dirak when he’s low on HP.

Florentino

Dirak ‘s playstyle revolves around pushing enemies away, but Florentino has two layers of CC immunity. Gentlemen's Duel dashes in and Duels him; for those 5 seconds Florentino is immune to all crowd control, so Astrolabe and the meteor from Fallen Star are useless, and he also takes no damage from other enemies. The short dash after the strike is CC-immune as well. Hits from Triple Threat are melee attacks dealing true damage based on max HP that Genesis Barrier can’t block, forcing Dirak to burn through the energy of Magic Body very early. Blossom is the exception: it’s a flower throw, so wait for the barrier to drop before tossing it.

Kil'Groth

Gore Lord instantly removes all crowd control on Kil'Groth , grants 4 seconds of full immunity, and extends it further when his basic attacks hit enemy heroes. During that window, Dirak ‘s Astrolabe and Fallen Star can’t push him anywhere. Sea Spear dashes forward to thrust his spear and slow, helping Kil’Groth stick to a hero with no dash, while Enraged Spear heals for each target hit to keep up with Dirak’s damage. Kil’Groth’s attacks are melee, so Genesis Barrier can’t block them, and his ultimate instantly granting 5 stacks of The Fanatic maxes out his attack speed the moment he closes in.

Wonder Woman

Wonder Woman has all the tools to close in on an immobile hero like Dirak . While he’s above 50% HP, Lasso of Truth pulls her straight to him; once he’s below 50%, the lasso drags Dirak back toward her and her teammates. Sword & Shield dashes forward, slowing and granting damage reduction if it hits a hero, letting her hold her ground against Astrolabe . Bracelets of Submission stuns enemies in front and shields her and the allies behind her, both breaking Dirak’s casting rhythm and absorbing part of the Death Ray Cannon Death Ray Cannon . If the barrier is up, dash around it instead of firing the lasso into it.

Paine

Elegy silences enemies inside the ring of light, and a silenced Dirak can’t raise Genesis Barrier or cast Astrolabe to push Paine away. The skill’s own passive also converts 35% of the magic damage Paine takes into HP over 3 seconds, which is perfect against a mage. Soul Tidings sends out Paine’s soul while CC-immune, then pulls the body forward with a slow, letting Paine get close without being knocked back by the Fallen Star meteor. After each skill, the passive Soul Divide turns the next basic attack into a backstab that deals double damage. Open with Elegy so Dirak has no time to react.

Chaugnar

Dirak ‘s teamfight strength lies in his chain of knockbacks from Astrolabe and Fallen Star that split up the enemy formation. Chaugnar ‘s Chaos Protection cleanses all crowd control on allies and grants the whole team Resistance, damage immunity and movement speed for 1 second, while Chaugnar gets 3 seconds. Right as Dirak pushes your frontline away, a single Chaos Protection brings them back. Energy Surge reduces the victim’s movement speed by 50%, making a dashless Dirak even harder to escape when chased. After the ultimate, Shock Wave has only a 1-second cooldown for 6 seconds and costs no mana, enough to keep pulsing around him.

Grakk

Dirak has no dash, so once he’s hooked by Grakk ‘s Devil's Chain , he’s dragged straight in front of Grakk and your team. Right after, Earthquake pulls in nearby enemies and slows their movement speed by 30%, while a victim standing right next to Grakk takes double damage, double slow and is silenced for 0.5 seconds, enough to interrupt him raising Genesis Barrier . World Devourer repeatedly stuns and pulls the target for 3 seconds, plus grants Grakk a shield. With Grakk lurking, Dirak won’t dare step up to drop Fallen Star . If his barrier is up in front of him, flank to the side before throwing the chain.
