Heroes That Counter Evita
Items that counter Evita
The Guard passive grants a barrier that absorbs 460 – 1300 magic damage after leaving combat, plus magic defense that scales with level from Inner Strength. All of Evita’s damage is magic damage, so this barrier fully absorbs the first Abyssal Assault explosion or the Hand of Abyss rift when she starts a fight.
Gaia’s Standard provides lots of HP and magic defense, plus the Recovery passive that restores 5% max HP over 2 seconds whenever you take damage, with a stronger effect the lower your HP. It suits fighters and tanks who have to stand in the area where the Abyssal Beast keeps seeking and attacking targets.
Evita’s CC comes from the knock-up in the center of Hand of Abyss and the slow from Umbral Cloak. Gilded Greaves grant 35% Resistance, shortening CC duration so you can escape or close in on her in time.
How to counter Evita in 1vs1
Pressure her early: Evita clears waves slowly and is weak early on. Trade aggressively, force her to back off and call your jungler for help before she gets her ultimate.
Dodge the rift, then counterattack:
Hand of Abyss
has a short delay before it erupts and is her only CC skill. When you see the rift appear, step out of the center, then go in right away while it’s on cooldown.
Watch her energy bar: When her dark energy is full, her next skill that hits you summons the Abyssal Beast and gives Evita a shield. Don’t stand within range of
Abyssal Assault
at that moment; wait for her to spend it on minions before trading.
How to counter Evita in teamfights
Don’t clump up: The center of
Hand of Abyss
knocks up and deals more damage, so spread out to stop her from grouping your whole team before she follows up with
Abyssal Assault
and
Umbral Cloak
.
Strike fast once she uses her ultimate: During
Umbral Cloak
, the Abyssal Beast seeks targets on its own, reduces magic defense and keeps shielding Evita. Burst her down right at the start, or back out of the Beast’s range and come back when the effect ends.
Dive straight into the backline: Evita has no dash. Assassins and fighters like
Nakroth
and
Zanis
only need to get past the frontline to take her down, especially after she has used Skill 2.
Build magic defense: Having
Medallion of Troy
or
Gaia's Standard
on your frontline helps your team withstand her area damage for longer.
Tips to counter Evita
Strengths to Watch Out For
- Huge area magic damage when she groups enemies with Hand of Abyss.
- Lots of shields from her Passive and ultimate, making her hard to kill in drawn-out teamfights.
- Umbral Cloak reduces enemy magic defense, helping the whole team deal more magic damage.
- Good long-range poke with Abyssal Assault.
Weaknesses to Exploit
- No dash and low movement speed, making her easy prey for assassins.
- Weak early game and slow wave clear.
- Hand of Abyss is her only CC skill and has a fairly long cooldown, so missing it throws off her rhythm.
- Vulnerable to hard CC and to CC-immune heroes diving in.
