Erin Counters 2026: Best Counter Picks & Builds

Heroes that counter Erin in lane are marksmen with long range or tanky supports with crowd control, like Violet, Tel’Annas, Grakk, Thane, Cresht. In ganks and team fights, Murad, Wukong, Aoi, Krixi, Liliana, Skud, Omen, with their extremely fast burst gap-closing, will make Erin evaporate before she can burst anyone down.

• Violet
• Tel'Annas

Violet

Violet can continuously keep her distance with her 1st skill flip, then deal back massive damage, making it hard for Erin to pressure her. Often just one flip-and-shoot combo from Violet can blow away half of Erin’s HP bar.

Tel'Annas

This hero has a range far superior to Erin’s, and his continuous slow makes it very hard for her to trade damage back or run away.

• Grakk
• Thane
• Cresht

Grakk

Land a precise long-range hook to pull Erin away from her team, then combine it with the continuous pull from his ultimate to control her. Once she runs into Grakk, Erin won’t be able to move freely anymore.

Thane

When playing Thane, proactively stand on the front line, using his tanky body and strong crowd control skills to repeatedly shield your team and corner Erin, protecting your teammates and creating opportunities for them to take her down.

Cresht

When transformed with his ultimate, Cresht becomes extremely tanky with large armor and wide-area crowd control, letting this hero comfortably shield teammates from Erin’s damage while slowing and trying to eliminate her.

• Wukong
• Aoi
• Murad

Wukong

Wukong can use his invisibility to suddenly close in and land a few extremely strong critical staff hits to assassinate Erin — a squishy hero like her will evaporate quickly without being able to do anything.

Aoi

With fast gap-closing, strong burst damage, and good skill-dodging, Aoi can easily finish off Erin without much danger. Note that you can swing in but don’t dive down right away — bait out Arctic Orb from Erin first.

Murad

Murad easily counters Erin before the late game with his long-range dash and continuous poke damage. Murad will significantly slow down Erin’s power progression.

• Krixi
• Liliana

Krixi

Krixi has a long reach, knock-up, and strong burst damage, so she can easily take Erin down in a single combo without worrying too much about her closing in for a counter-attack.

Liliana

With her flexible ability to switch between poking from range and bursting at melee range, Liliana can attack Erin from a distance depending on the situation, or pick the right moment to close in and burst her down.

• Omen
• Skud

Omen

Omen’s ultimate locks Erin down, preventing her from escaping and creating an opportunity for his team to quickly burst her down. Omen’s durability is also fairly high, so he’s not too afraid of being burst down by Erin.

Skud

Skud is famously tanky — Erin can shoot at him half a day and he still won’t die, but when Skud punches back, Erin might drop dead on the spot. So you can pick this hero top or jungle to counter Erin very effectively either way.
