Find Tips To Counter Lycan ?
Kite him: Lycan relies on physical attacks – heroes with mobility like Anti-Mage or Phantom Lancer can avoid his attacks.
Focus the wolves: Lycan’s wolves provide vision and deal damage – dealing with them early can reduce his map control and damage output.
Pick heroes with magic damage: Lycan is weak to magic damage – heroes like Lina or Zeus can burst him down quickly.
Silence him: Silencing Lycan stops him from using his ultimate (Shapeshift) and prevents him from attacking rapidly.
Pick strong teamfight heroes: Heroes like Tidehunter or Earthshaker can disrupt his initiation and fight effectively against his wolves.
Build armor: Lycan’s physical damage is significant – items like Solar Crest, Crimson Guard, or Blade Mail can reduce his impact.
Use crowd control: Stuns and disables (e.g., Lion, Bane) prevent Lycan from using his mobility and causing damage with his wolves.
