How to Counter Crystal Maiden

Crystal Maiden holds targets with Frostbite while Crystal Nova slows them and Freezing Field channels a long barrage that slows everyone in its radius. The ultimate is a channel, so reaching her quickly or blocking the spells ends the threat. Spell immunity stops Frostbite, Crystal Nova and Freezing Field alike.

Counter items

  • Black King BarAvatar blocks Frostbite, Crystal Nova and Freezing Field while it lasts.
  • Linken's SphereSpellblock absorbs a Frostbite cast, which needs a single target.
  • Blink DaggerJumps 1200 units onto her before a Freezing Field channel can finish.
