Whether you like it or not, Wanwan feels like the queen of Land of Dawn in both pro matches and regular ranked games. She has already been cut with patches more than once, damage and abilities have been adjusted, but all this does not prevent her from remaining one of the most dangerous shooters. If the player understands the mechanics and knows the timings, the Nimble Tigress breaks. She has a special style: find the enemy’s weak spot, poke her claws there and turn the fight into chaos. It’s not just a set of skills, it’s a strategy.
But the good news is that even the top Wanwan has an Achilles heel. There are heroes in the game who can break her usual rhythm, knock down jumps and prevent her from running wild. The main thing is to choose them correctly and play with your head. Then even such a “damage queen” becomes a completely passable opponent.

Three heroes who will perfectly counter Wanwan
Granger
The first candidate is Granger. This shooter is a real damage machine at the beginning of the game. And the beginning is just Wanwan’s weak spot. If you play aggressively, you can simply not let her open up. His passive Caprice accelerates the damage to ridiculous levels: a couple of accurate volleys — and the Tigress is forced to retreat. It is especially important to hit all bullets from the Rhapsody ulta. I did it, and Vanwan is no longer dragging.
Having broken her acceleration, it becomes easier to continue living: in midgame and Leyte, she is no longer so scary. Well, if you want options, you can take Bruno or Brody — both also know how to put pressure on her from the first minutes and keep her at bay.
And remember: choosing a hero is not enough. You need to play smart — keep Vision, deprive her of pharma and gold, and prevent her from taking key items. Wanwan does not forgive relaxation. But if you play with concentration, then even such a dangerous shooter turns into easy prey.
Franco
Next we have Franco. This tank is an eternal nightmare for thin and agile heroes. It’s not easy to master it: you need patience and accuracy. But if the Bloody Hunt ulta enters the Wanwan, it is trapped. The skill completely blocks her life-saving Needles in Flowers, and then the Nimble Tigress has exactly zero chances to escape.
Given that Wanwan has a fragile survival rate, hitting Franco’s ulta almost always = a guaranteed kill. Especially if your Kerry is standing next to you and ready to finish you off.
But it’s not just the mechanics that are important here, but also the gameplay. Franco is half a hero without support. It is necessary that the allies were ready to immediately rush in and turn his hook or ulta into kills. In return, the team gets a fat frontline, control, and constant pressure on Wanwan. Playing on the opponent’s nerves is Franco’s signature style.
Khufra
And finally — Kufra, the good old counter against mobile heroes. His control set is literally designed to stop Wanwan in the middle. The most unpleasant skill for her is Bouncing Ball. It knocks down her jerks and simultaneously cuts the damage from the ulta Crossbow of Tang. As a result, the Nimble Tigress no longer seems so scary.
By collecting tank items, Kufra becomes a real wall. Wanwan simply cannot break through it quickly, and this gives time to the allies.
The power of Kufra lies in the ability to cut off mobility. He deprives her of her favorite weapon — the freedom to move. But timings are important here: if you make a mistake with the button, Vanwan jumps on the map again. But with the right game, he turns her ulta into a dummy.
So if you want Vanwan not to jump on your head— take a Kufr. A proven counterpick that has been ruining the lives of all mobile heroes for years, and Vanwan is no exception here.
