Thamuz: The Perfect Counter
Thamuz, a strong and skilled fighter offlaner, is the ideal hero to counter Esmeralda. With his immense physical and true damage in close combat, he can easily pressure her and prevent her from regenerating and gaining shields. Building Dominance Ice is crucial as it greatly reduces her shield gain and health regeneration.
Valir: The Mage Hero
Playing Valir, a mage hero, in the side lane can be challenging but effective in countering Esmeralda. His Burst Fireball and Searing Torrent skills restrict her movement and deter her from approaching. Valir’s passive, Ashing, also has a stun debuff. Use the Vengeance Flame ultimate to instantly remove Esmeralda’s immobilize effect and gain movement speed. Purchase Necklace of Durance to weaken her shield acquisition and HP restoration.
Gusion: The Assassin Hero
Assassin hero Gusion is a formidable opponent for Esmeralda, even without a buff. With his high burst damage, he can quickly eliminate enemies with strong regeneration, including Uranus and Esmeralda. Gusion’s deadly combo ensures they have no time to regenerate.
