Ishar Counters 2026: Best Counter Picks & Builds

Heroes that counter Ishar include Lauriel, Azzen’Ka, Zata, Murad, Errol, Teeri, Fennik, Arum. These heroes can deal damage through Tinny, and also have enough mobility and evasion to avoid being attacked by Ishar directing Furball in 1v1 or combat situations.

• Arum

Arum

Arum uses her ultimate to suppress Ishar, preventing her from directing Tinny to deal damage to important targets. Another nice point is that when Tinny attacks Arum, Ishar herself takes this damage due to the nature of the “Trapped Beast” skill

• Teeri
• Fennik

Teeri

Teeri can keep a safe distance and has piercing attacks that hit both Tinny and Ishar. Teeri can easily poke while dodging Ishar’s skills, kiting her so she can’t close in or deal effective damage.

Fennik

With long range, untargetability from Skill 2 “Electric Zap”, and skills that deal spreading damage, Fennik easily dodges and deals damage to both Ishar and Tinny. Keep a safe distance while attacking, and Ishar will fall into a helpless situation.

• Lauriel
• Azzen'Ka
• Zata

Lauriel

The continuous diving and dashing kit will help Lauriel easily dodge Ishar’s skills and Tinny’s damage. When Ishar whiffs her ultimate Dreamy Circle , Lauriel immediately unloads her combo, quickly bursting and sending her to the scoreboard.

Azzen'Ka

Ishar lacks mobility, making it very hard to dodge Azzen’Ka’s combos, especially since Tinny standing near Ishar makes both of them more easily stunned by this hero’s Skill 2 bounces. Additionally Azzen’Ka has an ultimate that easily pushes Tinny away when it closes in, then controls and takes down both the boss and her pet.

Zata

Zata, with his continuous dashing and big damage from his ultimate “Heaven’s Wing”, will easily dodge Ishar’s crowd control while countering. Poke Ishar while she’s low on HP, then ignore Tinny, fly in and burst damage to take her down.

• Murad

Murad

Murad is extremely effective at countering Ishar with his ability to dash in from range and retreat safely, so he’s not afraid of being attacked by Tinny. A few combos from Murad are enough to evaporate Ishar’s HP bar.

• Errol

Errol

Errol has the ability to close in directly on Ishar while bypassing Tinny with his ultimate; additionally Skill 2 can launch both the boss and pet at the same time. When Ishar uses her ultimate Dreamy Circle , Errol immediately flies up to escape while closing in, then uses his combo to eliminate her.
