Hercules counters?

[76561198267418671]

Hercules always pisses me off tbh. Anyone know some hard counters to him I mostly play warriors.

[RecalledDread]

Beyond antiheal and slowing him down to focus him, not much can stop him easily currently.

[SQDizzy]

Hydra blood.

[Throckmonger]

Lots of burst and lots of anti heal, da ji with a brawlers and a pest helps a LOT

[ayebeesea]

assloads of antiheal, all the penetration you can get and CC the f*** out of him

[Jansa]

Loki

ban him

[Тиммейт, слушай]

= gods =
chang'e: 2nd skill dodges boulder and stun, 3rd skill has healing reduction
osiris: better laning in conquest and ulti has 100% healing reduction
ah puch: 3rd skill punishes healers
odin: ulti has 100% healing reduction
serqet: ulti has 100% healing reduction
sobek: 3rd skill has 50% healing reduction
almost every guardian can ruin his 2+1 combo by CC'ing him after he uses 2 on guardian's allies (ganesha's ohm, athena's face me, fafnir's take that, sobek's oh no you don't)
= items =
divine ruin: 40% healing reduction
brawler's beat stick: 40% healing reduction
pestilence: 25% healing reduction
qin's sais + titan's bane: just an op tank eater combo
bancroft's talon + chronos' pendant + obsidian shard: tank eater combo for mages

Don't try 1v1ing him super early, because levels like, 3-9 are his strong points

Antiheal is good in almost any build, if a support, maybe get pestilence over bulwark

If a warrior, get brawler's beatstick, it's super cheap and has pen to boot

Without potions, his mana pool is kinda ♥♥♥♥, so try to juke his abilities and he'll probably run out before you do, and without abilities, herc is kinda ♥♥♥♥♥♥

If he got sunder, refer to point 1 and extend that to about level 13-15

Being close to hercules is generally a bad idea unless you're an AA based warrior, because he's super good at messing with squishies

Being behind him with him not being severely pushed up is bad too, incorrect placement could earn you a one-way ticket to in-his-tower-also-you're-sundered-♥♥♥♥-you-mate

Follow previous steps and be aware that none of it matters, because you're jungler probably doesn't know any of it, and will most likely dive him in his own tower when he has sunder and blame you for not helping

Au revoir

How to counter herc

As stated above anti heal (beatstick, divine, prestilence)

Stone of the gaia (gives a get out of jail when you get hit by the knock-up)

When facing in solo dont try to fight him without your jungle and farm smart. His heal does eat some mana so taking his blue buff will let him go less ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ on you

[Young Souls]

Uhm, beads, beatstick and if you really struggling, stone of gaia or whatever it's called. He's not THAT op.

No, but he is a pain to kill due to his 3, meditation, and Bracer of Undoing. That on top of a lot of people not seeming to want to build antiheal against him makes it worse.

Well, that's not hercules's problem that people are stupid enough to not understand such a simple thing. Beads > CC, heal > antiheal, how is it so hard?

[76561198267418671]

Yeah but Hercules heal returns health to him every time he is damaged making it increasingly harder to kill even with Anti-heal!

[SkathiTheJotunn]

when he activate shis heal, just stop hitting him. no anti heal needed cause he wont heal any of the damage back and only get his weak immediant heal.
