Toro Counters 2026: Best Counter Picks & Builds

Baldum

Toro starts fights by leaping onto your carries with Cracked Earth or Bull Rush , and Baldum is the one who clears him out. Wild Charge charges forward, knocking Toro back and dealing an extra 8% of the target’s max HP, which gets even more effective the more HP Toro builds. Wild Prison traps Toro underground for 3 seconds; during that time he can’t do anything and can’t be targeted, cut off from his teammates while your team deals with other targets. The passive Tough Hide gives Toro CC immunity while casting, so use your crowd control right after his third stomp or before he can jump in.

Hayate

A tank’s armor plus the damage reduction from the Battle Will stacks of Tough Hide means marksmen usually take a long time to bring Toro down, but Hayate has his own way: every time he hits the same target 6 times (basic attacks and skills both count), Blood of the Dragon restores Hayate’s energy, and for the next 4 seconds every attack deals bonus true damage. Shadow Step can dash over terrain, enough to dodge the spot where Toro lands with Cracked Earth , then come back and keep throwing once he has whiffed his stomps. While casting Shuriken Toss , Hayate also gains movement speed, letting him throw and escape the slow from Battlecry at the same time.

Lauriel

Toro only has Bull Rush and Cracked Earth to close in, while Lauriel dashes with Wings of Purity , and this skill recovers faster every time her light hits an enemy. When Toro jumps in, Lauriel just needs to dash out of the stomp zone before the third stomp knocks up. Her passive Heaven's Punishment applies a Heaven’s Punishment mark after each skill hit; at 4 marks, it detonates to deal area true damage, heal Lauriel and slow Toro. While standing in Great Judgment , all of Lauriel’s skills cool down twice as fast, so she can spam Path of Repentance on him from a safe distance.

Zanis

Toro locks down opponents with three layers of crowd control: the knock-up of Bull Rush , the slow of Battlecry and the knock-up on the final stomp of Cracked Earth . For Zanis , that’s nothing to worry about, since his passive Dragoon turns every skill into a CC cleanse (except suppression). Once free, Zanis aims Dragon Wraith straight at Toro: it deals true damage, stuns and slows, and for the entire empowered duration his bonus damage also becomes true damage, so a tank’s thick armor is nearly meaningless. Tail Sweep grants extra attack speed and lifesteal so Zanis can last longer. Just remember that Dragon Wraith’s stun has no effect while Toro is casting skills.

Florentino

Every strike of Triple Threat from Florentino adds true damage based on max HP, so the health Toro stacks to tank turns into a weakness. When he leaps in with Cracked Earth , answer with Gentlemen's Duel : the duel makes Florentino immune to all crowd control for 5 seconds, the knock-up from the final stomp does nothing, Toro has his armor reduced, and his teammates can’t damage Florentino. The dash from Shuffle also can’t be crowd-controlled, enough to slip past the Bull Rush charge. Keep picking up flowers from Blossom to reset Triple Threat’s cooldown.
