Laville Counters 2026: Best Counter Picks & Builds

Laville is an Abyssal Dragon lane marksman who lives on his firing rhythm. His passive Lucky Star gains a stack with every basic attack that hits, up to 3 stacks, each granting attack speed; at 3 stacks, every attack fires 3 bullets. Skill 1 Light Chaser empowers his attacks, and while Lucky Star is active, each shot also bounces to 2 other enemies. Skill 2 Mighty Shield grants a skill-blocking shield and movement speed, and makes his attacks over the next 3 seconds slow the target, while his ultimate Double Trouble fires a map-crossing light bullet that deals area damage and stuns. Laville’s weaknesses are that he needs time auto-attacking to reach full power, has no dash, and deals purely physical damage. His counters include Violet, Stuart in the Abyssal Dragon lane, Paine, Wukong, Kaine, Murad in the jungle, and Zata in the mid lane.

• Violet
• Stuart

Violet

Laville has to keep firing to build 3 stacks of Lucky Star , and Violet never lets him do that in peace. Her skill 1 Tactical Fire rolls forward, empowers her next attack, and briefly extends her attack range, so Violet lands a shot and rolls away before he can respond with a full rhythm. Her passive Reload reduces the roll’s cooldown by 0.5 seconds each time she hits a hero, letting her roll constantly. Skill 2 Fire In The Hole slows for 1 second, enough to chase down a marksman with no dash. Once Laville is low, her ultimate Concussive Rounds deals bonus physical damage equal to 12% of missing HP to finish him off.

Stuart

All of Laville’s damage is physical: basic attacks, the bullet volleys from Lucky Star , the empowered shots of Light Chaser , and even his ultimate Double Trouble . Stuart ‘s skill 2 Blood Shadow Eye grants physical damage immunity plus movement speed, so during that window Laville’s 3-shot volleys deal no damage. Activate Blood Shadow right as he reaches full stacks, then dive in with the ultimate Destructive Blast to dash in, slow, and deal damage. Note that the stun from Double Trouble still applies even when the damage is blocked, so don’t line up with him.

• Paine
• Wukong
• Kaine
• Murad

Paine

The shield and movement speed from Mighty Shield are Laville’s only way to save himself when someone gets on top of him. Paine ‘s skill 2 Elegy deals magic damage and silences enemies in the area, so he can’t pop his shield or skill 1 while being bursted. The passive Soul Divide makes the first basic attack after each skill blink behind the target and deal double damage. Skill 1 Soul Tidings grants CC immunity while his soul is out, enough to get through the stun of Double Trouble , and the ultimate Acknowledge gives Paine brief damage immunity as he dives in.

Wukong

Laville has no dash, only the movement speed from Mighty Shield , so an assassin approaching from the shadows is his biggest fear. Skill 1 Shadow Clone grants Wukong stealth and movement speed, while the passive God Of War makes the empowered attack after each skill instantly close in on the target. Mighty Shield also makes Laville’s attacks slow, but reactivating the ultimate Monkey Business removes slow effects from Wukong. Skill 2 Great Sage boosts physical armor to reduce damage from his volleys, and the first staff swing stuns to keep him in place.

Kaine

Kaine can reach Laville without being spotted: the passive Manhunt makes Kaine invisible when no enemies are nearby. Skill 2 Blood Sword fires a sword wave that marks and slows, and while the mark is active Kaine’s hits stun, which is enough to lock down a marksman without a dash. The ultimate Blood Strike dashes in with crowd control immunity and can’t be targeted, so the stun from Double Trouble can’t stop it. The shield from Mighty Shield only blocks skills, so throw Blood Wheel first to break the shield, then unleash Blood Sword.

Murad

The volleys from Lucky Star need a target to shoot at, but Murad can’t be attacked or targeted throughout the cast of Temporal Turbulence and when activating Another Dimension . Another Dimension also slows for 2 seconds and reduces armor for 3 seconds on anyone who touches its edge, and since Laville has no dash, only the movement speed from Mighty Shield , escaping the zone is very hard. Skill 1 Thorn of Time dashes 3 times, stunning each time, and the third dash returns Murad to his starting point, so you can strike and pull out before he can unload his volleys.

• Zata

Zata

Laville relies almost entirely on basic attacks, so an untargetable target is what he’s most helpless against. Zata ‘s ultimate Heaven's Wing dashes to deal magic damage; dashing through his own or enemy skills grants Zata extra charges, and after 3 charges he becomes untargetable and continuously deals magic damage to nearby enemy heroes. Skill 2 Waterspout slows to keep Laville in the zone, while the passive Wind Slash reduces the ultimate’s cooldown every time he deals damage. The shield from Mighty Shield only blocks skills, so use Screeching Hawk to break it first.
