Snapfire Counters & Build

Windranger 6,697 matches

−1.9%

WhyWindranger secures an early lane advantage because Windrun's physical evasion negates Snapfire's right-clicks and Lil' Shredder attacks. Additionally, Windranger's high mobility from Windrun and Easy Breezy allows her to easily slip inside the 600 minimum launch range of Mortimer Kisses. This leaves the stationary Snapfire vulnerable to being locked down by Shackleshot and eliminated on the move with Focus Fire.

Lifestealer 5,744 matches

−1.7%

WhyWhile the laning phase between them is roughly even, Lifestealer takes over in later teamfights because Rage provides Debuff Immunity and bonus magic resistance against Snapfire's magic burst and disables like Scatterblast, Firesnap Cookie, and Mortimer Kisses. Furthermore, Ghoul Frenzy and Open Wounds let Lifestealer easily get inside the 600 minimum range of Mortimer Kisses to stick to Snapfire and sustain through fights with Feast.

Kez 1,986 matches

−1.7%

WhyWhile the laning stage is roughly even, Kez takes over later fights by using Grappling Claw and Falcon Rush to easily breach the 600 minimum launch range of Mortimer Kisses. He can disrupt her with Talon Toss's silence and Shodo Sai's stuns, while Shodo Sai's parry punishes rapid physical attacks from Lil' Shredder. Additionally, Raptor Dance grants Kez magic damage immunity to shrug off her heavy magic burst.

Slardar 2,771 matches

−1.6%

WhySlardar slightly loses the laning stage against Snapfire's ranged harassment, but his advantage emerges later in the game. With Guardian Sprint and the movement speed from Seaborn Sentinel, Slardar easily closes the gap inside the 600 minimum launch range of Mortimer Kisses. Once on top of Snapfire, Corrosive Haze strips her armor while Slithereen Crush and Bash of the Deep interrupt her channeling and lock her down.

Outworld Destroyer 2,432 matches

−1.3%

WhyOutworld Destroyer wins the lane clearly, establishing an immediate advantage against Snapfire with Astral Imprisonment and the pure damage of Arcane Orb. Astral Imprisonment completely shuts down Mortimer Kisses by taking targets out of the barrage or disabling Snapfire during her channeled ultimate. Furthermore, Sanity's Eclipse can hit imprisoned targets to guarantee massive burst damage.

Underlord 5,157 matches

+1.2%

WhyLil' Shredder rapidly shreds Underlord's armor while relying on fixed damage, allowing Snapfire to deal heavy physical damage despite the attack reduction from Atrophy Aura. Additionally, Mortimer Kisses allows her to bombard Underlord and his allies from well outside the reach of Pit of Malice and Firestorm. Snapfire's Firesnap Cookie also provides a reliable ranged stun to disrupt enemies attempting to channel Fiend's Gate.

Bounty Hunter 3,481 matches

+1.2%

WhyWhile the laning stage is roughly even, Snapfire gains an edge in teamfights because her extensive area-of-effect abilities, including Scatterblast, Firesnap Cookie, and Mortimer Kisses, can control and blanket zones with heavy damage and slows without needing direct targeting on invisible units. Furthermore, when Bounty Hunter commits to melee range for Jinada or Shadow Walk stuns, Snapfire can rapidly strip his armor and burst him down using Lil' Shredder's rapid ranged attacks.

Slark 3,609 matches

+1.2%

WhyAlthough the laning phase is roughly even, Snapfire gains the advantage in teamfights because her ground-targeted area damage from Mortimer Kisses can continuously strike and slow Slark even when he is untargetable inside Shadow Dance or Depth Shroud. Additionally, Scatterblast heavily punishes Slark's close-range melee engagements with massive damage and attack slows, while Lil' Shredder rapidly shreds his armor.

Anti-Mage 2,712 matches

+1.1%

WhySnapfire slightly loses the lane to Anti-Mage, but her advantage emerges later in teamfights. Anti-Mage's Counterspell cannot reflect ground-targeted area-of-effect spells like Mortimer Kisses or Scatterblast, nor does his magic resistance protect against the rapid physical burst and armor reduction of Lil' Shredder.

Lone Druid 2,273 matches

+1.0%

WhySnapfire slightly loses the laning phase against Lone Druid, but her advantage arrives later in the game. Her Mortimer Kisses and Scatterblast unleash high area-of-effect damage and slows that heavily punish Lone Druid and his bear when grouped together. Furthermore, Lil' Shredder rapidly strips armor to quickly melt the Spirit Bear, inflicting heavy backlash damage directly onto Lone Druid.
