Best Counters to Black Cat
How to Counter Black Cat
Black Cat has 275 health and needs Fortune for her real damage, so stay grouped and punish her the moment she lands: without 250 Fortune she cannot flash back with Phantom Pursuit. Heroes who hold space or fight from the air give her the most trouble: Peni Parker's webs and mines punish a melee diver, and Storm can stay out of reach of her hook. When Calling Card is active, stay next to a teammate so her pounce lands on two players instead of one.
