Heroes That Counter Grakk
Items to Counter Grakk
Grakk’s combo stacks multiple types of crowd control: the 30% slow and 0.5-second silence from
Earthquake
, then the continuous stun from
World Devourer
. The 35% resistance from Gilded Greaves shortens the duration of slows, silences and stuns, while the 60 movement speed helps you escape his pull range sooner. Great for marksmen and mages who are often targeted by Grakk.
This is the support item with the Unbind active: one press removes all crowd control from you and nearby allies, then grants CC immunity for 0.5 seconds (90-second cooldown). When Grakk has just pulled your carry in and follows up with
World Devourer
, your support presses Unbind to free the teammate being stunned and pulled. Its passive also increases armor and magic defense for nearby allies.
How to counter Grakk in lane
Move sideways, don’t stand still:
Devil's Chain
fires a chain in the chosen direction to pull an enemy in front of
Grakk
. Step to the sides when you see him emerge from a bush, especially while your marksman is farming minions.
Punish missed pulls immediately: Grakk has no dash or speed boost. The moment the chain misses is your chance to step up and trade, or poke from range with long-range heroes like
Elsu
.
Don’t feed him kills: Each time he kills or assists in killing an enemy hero, Grakk gains 125 HP, up to 20 times. Back off when you’re behind on HP instead of gambling, so he doesn’t keep getting tankier.
Be careful when finishing him: His passive
Blood Ritual
bursts magic damage around Grakk when he takes damage exceeding 10% of his current HP, and explodes once more 3 seconds after he dies. Don’t stand right next to him when securing the kill.
How to Counter Grakk in Teamfights
Spread out:
Earthquake
pulls all nearby enemies to Grakk’s side, and those standing close take double damage and get slowed, plus a 0.5-second silence. Keep distance between teammates so one pull can’t gather the whole team.
Interrupt World Devourer with CC:
World Devourer
needs a brief moment before it starts pulling. A stun from
Gildur
or the magic circle from
Ilumia
cast right at this moment will free your teammate before they take the full 3 seconds.
Save cleanses for your carry:
Chaos Protection
from
Chaugnar
or the active of
Terra Unbind
should be saved for when Grakk pulls your marksman in; don’t use them early.
Shield in front: Fighters and supports should stand in front of the carry to narrow the chain’s pull angle.
