Best counters to Kayron
- Buff removal and buff stealing — Stripping or stealing his buffs cuts off the evasion and attack buffs his survival leans on, and it also denies Void Slash its hit-all conversion, which only happens while he is holding a buff.
- Healing denial — An effect that prevents him from being healed shuts down both his lifesteal on Apocalypse and his ability to climb back from low Health, leaving him fragile after his immortality turn ends.
- Buff-duration reduction or quick follow-up — His Immortal Will only buys one turn of immortality and two of evasion on a 9-turn cooldown; shortening those buffs or simply attacking again after they expire kills him before the passive can come back up.
- Immunity and cleanse on the enemy — Immunity blocks his blind and silence outright, and cleanse wipes them after the fact, removing the control pressure his kit applies.

- Slow, durable bruisers and tanks — His sword strikes scale up the lower his own Health drops, so the more punishment he takes the harder he hits, and Apocalypse heals him back as he grinds a sturdy target down.
- Accuracy-reliant attackers — Void Slash can inflict a miss-chance debuff, and his passive's evasion buff makes him hard to land hits on, so enemies leaning on connecting with attacks get blinded and dodged.
- Skill-cooldown-dependent enemies — His silence aura can lock targets out of using a skill, blunting heroes that rely on a specific ability coming up on schedule.
