Counter Tips

How to beat Slark

Slark thrives in extended skirmishes where he can escape, heal and return, so fight him with burst and disables instead of drawn out trades.

Leshrac dominates Slark in lane with area damage and slows like Diabolic Edict, stopping him from farming safely.

Tiny overpowers Slark in lane with high base health, armor and burst, and secures kills when paired with a support.

Enigma with Midnight Pulse percentage damage is strong against him in team fights.

Repeated lane pressure cripples his snowball, so dominate the laning stage to stop him reaching the mid game strong.
