Janet Counters

Best counters to Janet

• Belle

  Outranges Janet's fully focused shots and reloads faster, winning repeated long-range trades before she can retaliate.

• Squeak

  Controls Janet's firing lanes with delayed explosions, while Residue slows her repositioning between focused shots.

• Frank

  Out-tanks Janet's low sustained damage, advancing through focused shots before heavy swings force her backward.

• Carl

  Out-trades Janet at equal range because his returning pickaxe can hit twice, delivering more pressure than her focused single shot.

• Kenji

  Closes through Janet's focusing window with his base dash, then heals on hits while close-range slashes overwhelm her.

Janet is a strong pick against

• Chester

  Limits Chester's bell spread to glancing damage from afar and crosses walls with Backstage Pass if he approaches.

• Emz

  Pokes Emz beyond her strongest aerosol overlap, using aerial movement to leave the slowing Super below.

• Eve

  Threads focused soundwaves through Eve and her hatchlings, removing the swarm without surrendering offensive momentum.

• Frank

  Pressures Frank beyond hammer reach, with jetpack flight denying both his windup attack and stunning Super.

• Gale

  Lands concentrated damage on Gale from maximum distance, where his spreading snowballs connect only sparsely.

• Sam

  Keeps Sam chasing beyond punching distance and vaults across walls with Backstage Pass when he reaches her.

• Sandy

  Builds focused damage on Sandy before his shorter-ranged pebble bursts can threaten retaliation.

• Tara

  Maintains a range edge over Tara, clears lined-up Shadows, and lifts away from Gravity's pull.
