Sun – Counters
Weak against (counters)
Fighter heroes with Lifesteal can counter Sun, however. For example, heroes like Ruby can steal a lot of HP by hitting Sun and his Dopplegangers.
Strong against
Sun can deal great sustained damage and has armor-busting capabilities, making him a good counter to tanks with low damage output, such as Franco and Gatotkaca.
