Suyou is one of the most challenging heroes to face in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang.
His incredible speed, combined with his diverse skill set, makes it difficult to predict and dodge his attacks. In his mortal form, he’s fast and nimble, while his immortal form boosts his damage output significantly.

This is especially problematic if you’re using a low-mobility hero, as he can easily take you down with a well-timed Blade Surge, Soul Sever, and Evil Queller combo.
However, there are effective ways to counter him with the right heroes. In this ONE Esports guide, we highlight the three best heroes to use against Suyou in case he isn’t banned in your ranked games.
3 hero counters to Suyou in Mobile Legends
Badang
First on the list is the fighter hero, Badang. What makes him an excellent counter to Suyou is his ability to disrupt with crowd control.
Whenever Suyou activates his immortal form, Badang can intervene using his enhanced basic attack or Fist Break, allowing him to stay in control of the situation.
When playing Badang, prioritize on-hit effect items like Demon Hunter Sword or Golden Staff to enhance his basic attack passive.

Increasing attack speed is crucial, as it helps you trigger your passive faster during team fights. If you’re feeling confident in this matchup, consider taking Petrify or Execute to secure easy kills.
Edith
Another strong counter to Suyou is Edith, a hero with multiple crowd-control abilities. Her Onward-Earth Shatter combo can completely stop Suyou from using any of his immortal form skills.
This is especially problematic for him since Edith’s skills have low cooldowns, making her one of the most reliable crowd-control heroes in the game.

When playing Edith, take advantage of her potential to disrupt in the laning phase. Her passive, which enhances her basic attack after every skill use, deals significant damage, especially when built with magic items.
While the usual build for Edith includes defensive items, if you’re ahead in the matchup, you can switch things up by adding magic attack items like Starlium Scythe to boost her damage output.
Melissa
Melissa counters Suyou by exploiting his reliance on close-range combat and skill combos.
Her Ultimate, Go Away! creates a barrier that blocks Suyou’s gap-closing skills, like Blade Surge and Soul Sever, forcing him to fight outside his effective range. This disrupts his ability to deal consistent damage or execute combos.

Her passive, Doll Buster and second skill, Eyes on You! amplify her damage against the Mask of the Immortal, who relies on sustained attacks. Melissa’s crowd control potential and kiting abilities further capitalize on the assassins vulnerability to interruptions, especially when he holds skills for maximum output.
In team fights, Melissa’s zoning tools and sustained damage neutralize the enemy hero’s ganking and poke strategies, making her a strong counter to his high-mobility, melee-centric playstyle.
