Heino Counters 2026: Best Counter Picks & Builds

Lauriel

While casting Destined Spacetime , Heino can’t move for 1.5 seconds, and Path of Repentance from Lauriel punishes exactly that: the path of light deals magic damage, then bursts once more on anyone still inside the area. Heino is CC immune but can’t avoid area damage. Outside that window, Wings of Purity lets Lauriel dash away from the holy spears and keep her distance so Heino can’t stack his melee marks. Standing in Great Judgment , her cooldowns recover twice as fast, enough to keep poking and then detonate Heaven's Punishment for area true damage.

Nakroth

The holy spear from Silver-Blue Holy Lance / Cycle of Reincarnation Strike and the twin light blades are both skillshots, so mobility is the best weapon against Heino . Nakroth has Jury Fury , which dashes in, knocks enemies airborne and can be recast for free within 5 seconds, while Death Sentence lets him blink backward to dodge an incoming skill. Once in close, Nakroth slashes repeatedly with Judgement's Blade and cannot be crowd-controlled during it, so the 2-second slow from the twin light blades can’t hold him. After Heino teleports back to his marked location, the two dashes let Nakroth follow right away.

Marja

Heino deals both physical and magic damage, and Soul-Devouring Worm from Marja drains both the physical attack and magic power of the linked target, while also slowing it and healing Marja. The longer the fight drags on, the weaker Heino gets and the tankier Marja becomes, thanks to Soul Curse summoning minions that attack and heal. The slow from his twin light blades isn’t a problem, since Vile Spirit makes Marja untargetable, removes all debuffs and boosts her speed. Keep the pressure on to force Heino to use Destined Spacetime early, then follow him to his return point.

Grakk

Destined Spacetime sends Heino back to his last ranged position, so your team can usually predict where he’ll reappear. Grakk just needs to wait there and cast Devil's Chain , a chain that pulls the enemy in front of him and deals magic damage. If Heino is close, Earthquake pulls in all nearby enemies and slows their movement speed by 30%, and anyone right next to Grakk suffers double the effect plus a 0.5-second silence, enough to shut down any attempt to escape with Destined Shift . Then World Devourer repeatedly stuns and pulls in targets in front of him.

Violet

To take down Heino , you have to do it before he can pop Destined Spacetime , since the lower his HP, the more his ultimate heals. Violet is suited for this thanks to Concussive Rounds : the shell deals an extra 12% of the enemy’s lost HP as physical damage, growing stronger as the fight goes on. Tactical Fire lets Violet roll to dodge the holy spears of Silver-Blue Holy Lance / Cycle of Reincarnation Strike and gain 50% movement speed for 2 seconds when rolling toward an enemy. Each basic attack that hits a hero also reduces the roll’s cooldown by 0.5 seconds thanks to Reload , so Violet always has a way to dodge.
