Pearl counters?

[Spear Deer]

I regularly see pearls ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ dominate games. I'm talking 300-400 damage and 450+ healing. She seems incredibly hard to do anything about with all of her defensive/escape options, healing, shields, and ranged damage.

Is there anyone that does particularly well against her? I find melee champions get kited to no end, and she just puts up bubbles against ranged champions.

There have been a few matches I've been against a pearl where I felt so helpless that by the end we were basically ready to give up. One of the matches went on so long that she killed me by using her ult to throw me outside of the ring- which was only about one shifu wide (I know thats not a measurement, but you know what I mean).

I just checked, and she has the highest auto-attack damage in the game. What the hell? Iva beats her out if she can hit all four shells, but thats pretty unlikely. Why is this a good idea?

Just rush her and use silence/stun combos. As jade you can silence her, do around 24-30 dmg with revolvers then go invis+invuln -> sniper, assuming she used her escapes after/before silence she's now ♥♥♥♥♥♥.

I feel like with pearl you have to focus fire her down. unlike palo who has the aoe fear and is really annoying to deal with pearls counter isn't as good at stripping people off of her. hero's that can reduce healing (sirius) are really good against her. she has I personally think the best burst healing in the game and you have to counter that.

also if you don't want to focus pearl force her teammate to constantly move by putting aoe down her aoe is like a mortar effect and if you cause her teammate to constantly have to move it's going to make it harder to heal him.

But she can both Dive and use her Counter. And she can just put up bubbles to nullify the jade thread.

she has the highest auto-attack damage in the game because she litterally has no other way to do damage and relies only on her autoattack (aside from her ult)

don't fall into her bubble trap try to force her to bubble by sniping her purposefully and hitting C to cancel the sniper to mess with her.

She also can't move while attacking with m1.

Anyway watch out for her silence and be ready to use your counter when her staff glows purple. Punish her heavily after she uses her space.

I guess I understand that she is beatable. Everyone is beatable, after all this is a skill based game. My question is why is she SO HARD to beat.

Sirius. 50% healing/dmg reduction for 3.5 seconds if you pick the battlerite :P

because her healing plus her R bubble make her very tanky. but that's what she is she's increadibly supporty compared to other healers she can't do damage if she's moving so that's what she does lol.

honestly for liking the gunslinger girl so much the most OP combo I have found involves her and palo.

also another thing focus on getting the orb if your playing gunslinger girl you should be getting that orb every time.

Early access like 2-3 days in balance will come calm down you gotta expect things like this

She's tanky, but her damage and healing seem to be on the poor side, to me. I wouldn't focus her, just leave her for last. Battlerite is not like all those other games where you have to focus the healer and ignore the "tank".

Some healers, like Pearl and Lucie, are incredibly tanky ... so it's as if you have been focusing the "tank".
