Heroes That Counter Lauriel

Lauriel Lauriel is an agile mage who deals sustained damage: Skill 1 Path of Repentance Path of Repentance draws a path of light that detonates twice, Skill 2 Wings of Purity Wings of Purity dashes forward then fires three beams of light and has its cooldown reduced when it hits enemies, and her ultimate Great Judgment Great Judgment creates a field that deals damage when it appears and when it vanishes, while doubling her cooldown speed inside it. Her passive Heaven's Punishment Heaven's Punishment stacks a mark with each skill that lands; at 4 stacks it detonates for AoE true damage, slows, and heals her. Lauriel’s weaknesses are that her kit has no CC immunity or shields, she has only one dash, and her power is tightly tied to her field. Hard CC, silences, and fast burst heroes are what she fears most. Counters to Lauriel Lauriel include Aleister, Dirak, Zata, Raz in the Mid Lane, Murad in the Dark Slayer Lane, Paine, Wukong in the jungle, Enzo, Arum as support, and Violet in the Abyssal Dragon Lane.

Items to Counter Lauriel

Rankbreaker

Rankbreaker Rankbreaker grants 40 – 180 armor pierce, helping physical heroes like Murad, Violet, or Wukong burst faster during the brief window when Lauriel Lauriel is crowd-controlled. Its passive grants 10% movement speed when out of combat, useful for closing in on her before she can dash away with Wings of Purity Wings of Purity .


Gaia's Standard

Lauriel Lauriel ‘s damage comes in waves: the path that detonates twice, the three beams of light, and the field that explodes when it appears and when it vanishes. Gaia's Standard Gaia's Standard restores 5% max HP over 2 seconds as soon as you take damage (10-second cooldown), healing 5% more for every 10% HP lost, helping your frontline hold firm inside Great Judgment Great Judgment to catch her.


Medallion of Troy

Most of Lauriel Lauriel ‘s damage is magic damage from Path of Repentance Path of Repentance , Wings of Purity Wings of Purity , and Great Judgment Great Judgment . Medallion of Troy Medallion of Troy grants up to 112 magic defense based on level, and its shield absorbs 460 – 1300 magic damage when you’re out of combat, enough to soak her entire first wave of skills as you dive in to catch her.

How to counter Lauriel in 1vs1 solo fights

Step off the path immediately: Path of Repentance Path of Repentance detonates a second time after a short delay on anyone still standing in the area. If you get hit by the first blast, move out right away; don’t stay to trade and eat both hits.

Don’t let the three beams hit you: Wings of Purity Wings of Purity has its cooldown reduced every time it hits an enemy. Dodging the beams forces her to wait longer for her next dash, and that’s your moment to land CC and burst her down.

Don’t fight inside the field: Inside Great Judgment Great Judgment , Lauriel’s cooldowns recover twice as fast. When she casts her ultimate, back off outside and wait for the field to vanish, and remember to dodge the blast when it fades.

Break her mark chain: Her passive Heaven's Punishment Heaven's Punishment detonates at 4 stacks, dealing true damage, slowing, and healing her. Don’t trade skills with her for too long so she doesn’t have time to build up her marks.

How to Counter Lauriel in Teamfights

Hard CC right at the start of the fight: Lauriel has no CC immunity or shields. Landing Aleister’s Magic Prison or Arum’s Snare on her the moment the fight opens is enough for your team to take her down before she can start weaving around.

Spread out: Path of Repentance Path of Repentance and Great Judgment Great Judgment both deal area damage, while the three beams from Wings of Purity Wings of Purity fan out in several directions. Clumping up lets her stack Heaven's Punishment Heaven's Punishment marks on multiple targets very quickly.

Push her out of the field: Lauriel’s power is tied to the zone that doubles her cooldown speed. Knockbacks, pulls, or roots that move her outside the field will slow her skill rotation dramatically.

Wait for the dash before going in: Assassins should wait for Lauriel to use Wings of Purity before diving in, since at that point she has no way out.

Tips for Countering Lauriel

Strengths to Watch Out For

  • Wings of Purity is a nimble dash whose cooldown is reduced when it hits enemies.
  • Great Judgment doubles her cooldown speed, letting her chain skills nonstop.
  • Her Heaven’s Punishment passive heals her, deals AoE true damage, and slows.
  • Path of Repentance deals damage twice, making it strong in big team fights.

Weaknesses to Exploit

  • Her kit has no CC immunity, damage immunity, or shields.
  • She has only one dash, so once she’s crowd-controlled it’s very hard to escape.
  • Her power is tied to the Great Judgment field; pushed out of it, she weakens noticeably.
  • Path of Repentance takes a moment to detonate a second time, so mobile opponents can dodge it easily.
