Counter / cooperate relationship

Matchups

Counters

Vale counters slow Fighters like Terizla and Hilda because he can chip away their HP with his skills from afar while using his high Movement Speed to dodge their skills.

Countered by

Vale is countered by agile Assassins that can become untargetable like Hayabusa and Ling, as it will be difficult to catch them with his CC while they can eliminate Vale easily with their high damage.

Compatibility

Vale works well with frontline Tanks like Lolita and Belerick who can protect him while he continuously pokes the enemy.
