Bane – Counters
Weak against (counters)
Bane is countered by Mages that deal heavy damage from afar, such as Vale and Xavier who can deal significant damage to him before he can get in range.
Strong against
Bane counters Tanks with high HP but low damage, such as Hylos and Belerick, because he can out-sustain them and deals HP percentage-based damage.
