How to counter Gray — tips

  • ✦Focus the support first to remove the team's sustain
  • ✦Draft Sirius and lean on the "Dusk Runners" Star Power — it is the most consistent answer to Gray (52% win rate in the matchup).
  • ✦Pick a Marksman to out-range their healing output
  • ✦Save "A Starr Is Born" for the moment Gray tries to land its Super — it cuts the key window.
  • ✦Bait Gray's "Walking Cane" from behind cover before you commit; that Gadget is its fastest answer when losing a trade.
  • ✦Against Gray (S-tier, 57.6%), the key is denying space: every wall or bush you own reduces its effectiveness as a support.
