    1. Folio is a key counterpick against Lylia-based teams, which justifies his Tier A ranking.
      That said, his overall potential is limited. He’s generally more useful to players with a wide roster of well-upgraded heroes, while those with fewer options may find him less impactful.

        1. the team i know is: amira folio aidan alvanor (core) and thea i think so because use only these 4 core heroes still win those lyria+ishamel setup

    2. i first have seen it at AoC the team appeared to counter formidable ishamel and lyria teams but they only use alvanor i think their folio still weak

  1. why can’t I find anti-meta hero in the tier S list? Before I can easily found amira counter lyria, but now it’s not… jorgen guus kayla are some of counter in some situations but it’s not reliable

    1. You’re right, the hard counters aren’t as clear as they used to be. Cascade works against Fluffy, but in the current magic meta, teams are becoming so mirrored that a single anti-meta hero rarely does the trick. It’s less about one ‘silver bullet’ hero now and more about tiny team adjustments.
