Synergies and Counters

Synergizes with:

Since Jaina relies a lot on skill shots to deal damage, she naturally works well with any Hero that can provide reliable crowd control against target kills her to watched. Her weakness also makes her depend on other Heroes to take her off; Tanks tend to fulfill these two needs, although other Hero types may as well.

Countered by:

Since Jaina relies heavily on shooting skills and Delayed Skills to deal damage, she is particularly inferior to Heroes who quickly dodge her Skills. What’s more, her weakness and lack of confidence make her vulnerable to Theft or the Agile Heroes with high damage can quickly approach her.

Maps of Jaina

Her awesome wave generator makes her particularly effective on the Map where the Target requires a quick kill of some small enemies or places where quick spin is expected. She also becomes quite adept at declaring the Mercenary Camps as well as before as a Level 7 Hero. She tends to be weaker on the Map where she might need to be isolated, though she should probably never be left without allies, due to her dependence on separation.

Tips and Tricks

• Use your Skills together to maximize Frostbite’s damage.
• Root or slow an enemy before using Snowstorm and Ring of Frost. Allied crowd control is also helpful.
• Use Blizzard very effectively to destroy or order the Mercenary Camps.

Role in the Current Meta

While her sustained damage might be slightly lower than that of other Assassins, her constant damage ability definitely makes up for it. This enormous amount of explosive damage allows Jaina to deal heavy damage or completely destroy out-of-position targets, something her opponents won’t be able to do. Also, nearly all of her damage is the area of ​​effect, allowing her to punish heavily enemy teams that gather tightly together.

Unlike other Continuous Damage Heroes, who are very weak early in the game, have no waves, or can only damage one target, her ample continuous damage doesn’t do to weaken her other parts. Her only real weakness lies in her very low mobility and reliance on her ability to choose a good position.
