After a skill set remake, Enzo has become a standout pick, stronger and easier to play, particularly in the Support role. In Vietnam’s ranking matches, players often pick based on preference, so encountering him in the Jungle or Top lane is also common.
Enzo was already popular in previous seasons, but the recent revamp has increased his impact. As Sforum understands, in Season S4 2024, players need effective counters to this upgraded Enzo. Below are the Arena of Valor heroes that GameBomTan24H believes can effectively counter him.
Hayate
Enzo poses a serious threat to Marksmen and any low-mobility, low-health heroes due to his strong control abilities, especially when built as a tank. Remember, Enzo’s chain ability is now easier than ever to execute with just a tap of his ultimate. If Grakk’s pull was once a concern, Enzo can be seen as an upgraded version of that. Thus, choosing a Marksman when facing Enzo requires careful consideration, especially when he’s in the Support role and roams frequently near the river.
If you maintain good positioning and have Support coverage, Enzo is less of a worry. For a proactive and safer option, consider picking Hayate. Other viable options include Slimz, Violet, Fennik, Elsu, Tel’Annas, and Teeri. However, they require excellent dodging skills and precise use of Flicker, alongside dedicated support from teammates. If unsure about team support, choose heroes that can stand on their own.
Toro
In the Support role, protecting Marksmen from Enzo’s pulls is critical. Picking fragile Supports like Aya, Alice, Helen, or Dolia could be a mistake, as they lack the durability to withstand Enzo’s chain. Instead, tanky Supports with good crowd control fare much better.
Thane, with his Excalibur and knockback abilities, can prevent Enzo from approaching key teammates. Another reliable pick endorsed by major tournaments and suggested by Garena Taiwan is Toro. According to Sforum, Toro is a strong, straightforward choice for many rank levels.
Keera
What if you encounter Enzo in the Jungle? Keera is an excellent pick to counter him, alongside options like Elan’Orr and Wonder Woman as suggested by Garena.
Keera’s Phantom Triangle can evade Enzo’s pull and reposition effectively. To simplify dodging his hook, activate Pursuit and move into a wall. Additionally, Keera’s burst damage is formidable, although if Enzo builds tank items, avoid using your full combo on him. However, against a damage-built Enzo in the Jungle, Keera can take him down swiftly.
Florentino
For 1v1 duels against Enzo, many heroes can be considered, such as Lu Bu, Charlotte, or Yena. However, Sforum suggests Florentino as a top pick for solo encounters, or even handling 2v1s while contributing effectively in team fights. Florentino’s ability to counter Enzo’s ultimate and maintain an aggressive playstyle can leave Enzo helpless. The key is mastering his flower-toss and retrieval technique; smooth execution allows Florentino to handle even an additional melee hero. But beware of missing abilities, which can put you at risk.
Although Enzo can disrupt Florentino with a well-timed pull and repositioning, overall, Florentino dominates this matchup, especially if Enzo builds semi-tank or tank. If Florentino isn’t your style, Murad or Yena are also decent picks.
Grakk
In addition to Toro, Garena Taiwan suggests Grakk as a viable Support pick against Enzo. This matchup has been seen in pro tournaments. While both have unique strengths, victory often depends on which team has better backline support, as the battle between them hinges on whose pulls are more precise.
Enzo might hook Grakk or his allies but may not always be able to pull them back due to Grakk’s ability to break control. Grakk can also proactively pull Enzo to set up a takedown or use his ultimate combined with Flicker to drag multiple enemies, creating substantial team advantages.
