Queen of Pain bursts with Shadow Strike, Scream Of Pain and Sonic Wave, then Blinks to dodge projectiles or leave. Succubus raises her spell lifesteal the closer an enemy stands, so holding distance denies her sustain. Silence before the Blink removes both her dodge and her exit, and a damage-negating buff can absorb the follow-up once health falls low.
Counter items
Orchid MalevolenceSilence keeps her from using Blink to dodge or retreat.
Aeon DiskCombo Breaker zeroes incoming damage after a burst drops health low.
Spirit VesselCuts the health she restores while she fights at close range.
