A tier — strong picks

Best bans
-
Bolt
The clearest map-specific standout; his speed and shielding punish nearly every lane draft.
-
Starr Nova
Safe poke plus invulnerable Hypercharge dashes makes protecting a first elimination extremely difficult.
-
Kenji
His 18-counter breadth and covered side-lane access punish fragile marksman-heavy compositions.
-
Piper
Highest counter breadth at 20, with July buffs strengthening her open-lane draft pressure.
-
Meg
Two health bars deny easy opening picks and reliably anchor the central sightline.
