Heroes That Counter Tamyn

Tamyn is a name notorious for causing frustration with his spear-throwing, running around picking up items, then healing up massively like he’s chugging an energy drink. However, this “scavenger” habit of his can be completely shut down if you pick the right opponents with strong dueling ability, hard crowd control, or attack-speed reduction. To make Tamyn “shut down” and unable to play the game, the most perfect notorious figures for you are Florentino, Omen, and Charlotte in the solo-lane position, along with Gildur and Marja to enthusiastically disrupt him in full-team fights.

Fighter Heroes (Top Lane) That Counter Florentino

Florentino

Facing this guy, Tamyn can only cry, since Florentino’s dueling ability is unrivaled. Florentino’s graceful flower-picking dashes make Tamyn dizzy, dodging all his damage and leaving him fumbling for where to pick up his spears.

Omen

Tamyn likes running around picking up spears, right? Omen just needs to bind him tightly with his ultimate (Killing Abyss), stripping away his right to run around collecting items and activating his passive Radiant Holy Spear . Once caged, he just has to take the beating!

Charlotte

Directly hitting Tamyn’s pain point: reliance on basic attacks. Charlotte’s skills drastically slow attack speed, making Tamyn swing his spear as slow as a turtle.

Marja

Possesses a leech-like sticking ability and excellent outplay skills. Tamyn can neither catch her nor escape from her. His mobility isn’t enough to escape Marja’s damage-draining range, so he has almost no chance against this hero.

Mage Heroes (Mid Lane) That Counter Tamyn

Gildur

An extremely annoying natural enemy of Tamyn. While he’s busy dancing with his spears, Gildur throws stunning crowd control repeatedly, completely breaking Tamyn’s smooth skill chain and rendering him harmless.

items that counter Tamyn

Since Tamyn is a physical-damage hero with not much crowd control, these boots are the most suitable to limit his damage.

Tamyn’s damage source doesn’t only come from skills but also heavily relies on his empowered basic attacks after activating his passive Radiant Holy Spear , so an attack-speed-reducing item is essential when trying to counter him.

An item that reduces both attack speed and movement speed, extremely effective at slowing down Tamyn’s attack speed and spear collection.

how to counter Tamyn in a 1v1 solo lane

Pick a “punisher” to deal with him: In a solo lane, bring out Omen, Florentino, or Charlotte to handle him. Omen can use his ultimate to chain him up, stripping his right to run and collect spears; Florentino gracefully slashes continuously to trap him in place; and Charlotte drastically slows his attack speed, making him swing his spear as slow as a turtle.

Stay away from the “punching bag” club: Remember to put away heroes like Ryoma, Riktor, or Yena. Tamyn absolutely loves beating up prey that lack persistent chasing ability.

Trade quickly and pull back: Don’t be foolish enough to trade blood in a prolonged direct duel with him. He has no burst damage but is extremely persistent thanks to his passive healing and continuous power growth. Trading skills quickly then retreating is safest.

How to Counter Tamyn in Combat

Avoid the spear flight path: His scariest damage and healing come from his ultimate Gathering Holy Spear recalling every spear on the field. Absolutely do not stand along the spears’ return path when he calls them back, or you’ll become a moving blood bag for him to drain.

Gang up with crowd control: He’s very strong while running around picking up spears, but squishy and harmless once locked down. Save your hard crowd-control skills, throw them the moment he dives in, stun him, then gang up to break his passive chain Radiant Holy Spear .

Corner him before major objectives: He loves pre-placing spears around Dragon or Abyssal Dragon areas to prepare for his ultimate dance. Clear vision and corner him early so he can’t comfortably spread spears across the field.

Tips for Countering Tamyn

Strengths to Watch Out For

  • Possesses an extremely scary prolonged dueling ability thanks to his passive healing, movement speed increase, and continuous cooldown reduction each time he collects a spear.
  • The faster he runs, the harder he pokes. All accumulated movement speed converts directly into an absolutely terrifying amount of physical damage.
  • Very good long-range poking ability with Skill 1, plus an ultimate dealing damage based on percentage of missing HP, extremely sharp for finishing off low-HP targets.

Weaknesses to Exploit

  • Extremely high difficulty, requiring the player to sweat bullets calculating position to both fight and continuously run to collect spears.
  • Suffers from “scavenger dependency syndrome.” His power drops sharply if locked down and unable to move to recall spears to maintain his passive.
  • Extremely afraid of tanky opponents who can trap him in a tight space (like Omen) or skills that directly counter by greatly reducing attack speed (like Charlotte).
