How to counter Glowy — tips

  • Pick a Marksman to out-range their healing output
  • Draft Barley and lean on the "Medical Use" Star Power — it is the most consistent answer to Glowy (51.5% win rate in the matchup).
  • Force them out of position with long-range poke
  • Save "Sticky Syrup Mixer" for the moment Glowy tries to land its Super — it cuts the key window.
  • Bait Glowy's "Slippery Savior" from behind cover before you commit; that Gadget is its fastest answer when losing a trade.
  • Against Glowy (C-tier, 52%), the key is denying space: every wall or bush you own reduces its effectiveness as a support.
