Heroes That Counter Keera

Keera Keera is an elusive magic assassin: her passive Dark Tides Dark Tides gives her built-in magic lifesteal, but her skill damage is split evenly among the enemies hit, divided by up to 3. Umbra Dream Umbra Dream places a phantom and then leaps forward to deal damage, pulling in the nearest victim and marking them for a second activation; Triangle Maze Triangle Maze dashes forward, creates two indistinguishable clones, makes her untargetable while casting, and stuns anyone who touches the edge of the triangle. Her ultimate Fading Phantom Fading Phantom grants Dark Protection: bonus movement speed, passing through terrain, stealth when touching terrain, and blocking 3 basic attacks from enemy heroes; when the protection ends, skills 1 and 2 are refreshed. Keera’s weaknesses are that she has no way to cleanse crowd control, relies on skills for mobility, and is quite squishy once her skills are used up. The best counters to pick against Keera Keera are Wukong in the jungle, Omen, Roxie in the Dark Slayer Lane, Aleister, Bonnie in the Mid Lane, and Arum, Baldum as support.

Items to Counter Keera

Medallion of Troy

All of Keera Keera ‘s skills deal magic damage, and the three attacks after Umbra Dream Umbra Dream also become magic damage. With Medallion of Troy Medallion of Troy , the Safeguard shield you have before entering combat absorbs 460 – 1300 magic damage from her opening leap, then Inner Power with up to 112 magic defense keeps reducing the rest.


Blade of Eternity

If you are killed while holding Blade of Eternity Blade of Eternity , you revive on the spot after 2 seconds with 2100 – 3500 HP; this passive has a 150-second cooldown, can only be used twice per match, and the item also increases damage dealt by 10%. Keera Keera usually spends all her skills to secure the kill and has to wait for Fading Phantom Fading Phantom to end before getting skills 1 and 2 back.


Arctic Orb

The Seal from Arctic Orb Arctic Orb makes you untouchable for 1.5 seconds but unable to move, followed by a short shield for 1 second; 75-second cooldown. The mark from Umbra Dream Umbra Dream only lasts 3 seconds, so activating Seal right as the phantom flies in makes Keera Keera waste her reactivation or lose the rhythm of her combo.


Death Sickle

Keera Keera bursts damage very quickly, and Death Sickle Death Sickle is your ticket out of death: instead of going down, you become invincible for 0.75 seconds (1.5 seconds after carrying it for 4 minutes) and gain 25% movement speed and 25% attack speed to run back to your teammates. This passive has a 120-second cooldown.

How to Counter Keera in a 1v1

Be careful when breaking the protection: The Dark Protection from Fading Phantom Fading Phantom is removed after 3 basic attacks from enemy heroes, but the moment it ends, Keera gets skills 1 and 2 refreshed. Only break the protection when you already have crowd control ready to meet her next dive.

Counterattack after Triangle Maze: Keera is only untargetable while casting Triangle Maze Triangle Maze . Avoid touching the edge of the triangle so you don’t get stunned, then lock her down as soon as the skill ends.

The mark is your signal: When hit by Umbra Dream Umbra Dream , you are pulled in and carry a mark for 3 seconds so the phantom can strike when she reactivates it. Fight back or use an escape skill right away instead of standing still and waiting.

Control the terrain: Keera passes through walls and goes stealth when touching terrain. Reveal skills keep you from being caught off guard when walking past corners near walls.

How to Counter Keera in Teamfights

Stay close to teammates to split the damage: Keera’s skill damage is split evenly among the enemies hit, divided by up to 3. A carry standing next to a tank or support is much harder for her to burst down than one standing alone.

Keep a CC support next to the carry: Arum Arum and Baldum Baldum should save Snare Snare or Wild Prison Wild Prison for when Keera jumps in. She has no way to cleanse crowd control, so a single lockdown is enough for the whole team to burst her.

Use AoE crowd control against the clones: The two clones from Triangle Maze look exactly like Keera. Area crowd control hits all of them, so there’s no need to guess which one is real.

React the moment she appears: Keera is squishy once her skills are used up, so burst her right when she is locked down, and don’t let Dark Protection end and refresh her skills.
