Best Counters to Captain America
How to Counter Captain America
Captain America has 650 health but needs two melee swings before his shield throws come online, so keep your distance and make him spend Liberty Rush (10 seconds) and Super-Soldier Slam (12 seconds) to reach you. Flyers like Storm and area-control heroes like Peni Parker give him trouble, since his only ranged option without melee hits is Vibranium Energy Saw every 6 seconds. Break his 350-health shield with focused fire: once it is destroyed he waits 5 seconds to raise it again instead of 1.
