Aldous – Counters
Weak against (counters)
Aldous is countered by heroes who are strong in the early game. They would make it very difficult for Aldous to build up the damage buff he needs. Heroes like Martis and Dyrroth are good examples here.
Strong against
Aldous is strong against heroes who cannot pressure him in the early game, so that he can easily build up the damage buff for his 1st Skill. Such as Zilong and Leomord.
