Currently, Arena of Valor players have likely encountered many Biron picks in ranked matches due to his impressive power. His pick rate continues to rise daily, solidifying his popularity.
According to GameBomTan24H, Biron will soon feature a brand-collab skin with Jujutsu Kaisen, which will undoubtedly boost his pick rate even more. To avoid handing victories to your opponents, make sure to pick the following heroes to counter Biron effectively.
Florentino
The first hero GameBomTan24H recommends is Florentino. For those unfamiliar, top player Nailiu suggests Florentino as a strong counter to Biron. While Biron may dominate Florentino early on if misplayed, from level 4 onwards, Florentino can confidently face Biron in 1v1 situations.
Due to Biron’s lack of burst damage, a semi-tank build on Florentino is sufficient to turn the tables. Biron’s mobility is not high enough to escape Florentino’s combo sequences. Additionally, Biron’s crowd control isn’t too significant, so as long as Florentino maintains his combos, Biron will be stuck taking damage.
Charlotte
Like Florentino, Charlotte is also a counter-pick suggested by Nailiu. While it might be challenging for Charlotte to secure kills due to Biron’s shield and durability, if she can farm freely and gain an advantage in solo play, this matchup becomes manageable. Charlotte’s skills make it easy to clear waves and jungle camps swiftly, contributing to her advantage.
Omen
Besides Florentino and Mina, Omen is another great pick for top lane matchups against most other heroes. With Omen, you can maintain a balanced lane phase and assist teammates later with his Death’s Embrace ultimate. While laning against Biron, focus on farming and wait for ganks without over-committing to fights.
Omen’s lane-sustaining ability isn’t the best, so if both sides are low on health or get ganked, Omen might struggle. However, if played with a damage-oriented build and with a gold advantage, Omen can duel Biron effectively even without teammate support. In team fights, a well-timed Death’s Embrace can hold Biron or the main damage dealer in place for your team to finish off.
Hayate
Marksmen play a vital role in dealing with Biron. Popular meta marksmen like Slimz, Fennik, Valhein, Capheny, Violet, Elsu, and Stuart can all pose significant threats to Biron if protected and kept out of his reach. Based on GameBomTan24H’s experience, Hayate remains the most effective counter to Biron.
Due to Biron’s limited mobility, a well-positioned Hayate can keep his distance and avoid being caught. Biron’s ultimate provides a powerful shield, but it’s no match for Hayate’s burst critical damage. As one of the best tank-busting marksmen in Arena of Valor, Hayate can kite and drain Biron’s health efficiently.
Baldum
To counter Biron’s aggressive dives, consider picking Baldum as your support. Thane can knock Biron back, while Lumburr and Omega can disable him, preventing him from executing combos. However, Baldum can use his ultimate, Wild Prison, to isolate Biron from the team fight. No matter how tanky or strong Biron’s damage is, it becomes irrelevant when he’s out of the battle. Even without the ultimate, a single knock-up with Baldum’s first ability can disrupt Biron’s momentum, allowing your team to capitalize on the opportunity.
As Biron often goes top lane or occasionally as a jungler or tank support, you don’t need to focus too much on him in the early game. Instead, prioritize vision control and protecting your carry. In the late game, keep an eye on Biron’s positioning; if he prepares to dive, use your ultimate or a well-timed knock-up to disrupt him, giving your team the chance to secure a decisive kill.
