Heroes that counter Baptiste, strongest first. Tap one to see what beats them.

GOOD5 PICKS

Anran Good Damage A

Anran can reach Baptiste quickly, force defensive cooldowns and deny comfortable backline positioning.

  • CLEAN ENGAGE REQUIRED
HOW TO PLAY IT

Stay near your tank so Anran has to dive through your team. Keep your defensive cooldowns for their engage, not for poke.

PERK PICK LeanDefault build

MinorExpanded FieldMajorRocket Boots

Anran plays as a flanker, so anti-flank and anti-dive matter most. Expanded Field brings peel and area damage; Rocket Boots brings anti-dive.

D.Va Good Tank D

D.Va can reach Baptiste quickly, force defensive cooldowns and deny comfortable backline positioning.

  • CLEAN ENGAGE REQUIRED
HOW TO PLAY IT

Keep Immortality Field or Regenerative Burst for when D.Va dives you. Play close to cover so her missiles don't catch you in the open.

PERK PICK Clear pickDefault build

MinorExpanded FieldMajorRocket Boots

D.Va plays as an initiator, so anti-dive and crowd control matter most. Expanded Field brings peel and anti-dive; Rocket Boots brings mobility and anti-dive.

Illari Good Support D

Consistent ranged pressure lets Illari punish Baptiste while maintaining strong sustain around her position.

HOW TO PLAY IT

Break Illari's sightline and shoot her Healing Pylon early. Trade from cover rather than standing in long open lanes against her.

PERK PICK Solid pick

MinorAssault BurstMajorAutomated Healing

Illari plays as a survivor, so duels and burst matter most. Assault Burst brings burst and duels; Automated Healing brings sustain.

Sojourn Good Damage D

Mobile ranged burst punishes Baptiste on exposed approaches and forces safer, slower positioning.

HOW TO PLAY IT

Stay out of Sojourn's open lanes and heal from cover. When her Railgun is charged, don't peek the same angle twice.

PERK PICK LeanDefault build

MinorExpanded FieldMajorRocket Boots

Sojourn plays as a sharpshooter, so mobility and range matter most. Rocket Boots brings mobility. Minor perk: no direct answer here, Expanded Field is the all-round pick.

Venture Good Damage S

Venture can reach Baptiste quickly, force defensive cooldowns and deny comfortable backline positioning.

  • CLEAN ENGAGE REQUIRED
HOW TO PLAY IT

Keep your defensive cooldowns for Venture's pop-up. Stay near teammates so the dive becomes a fight they lose.

PERK PICK Clear pickDefault build

MinorExpanded FieldMajorRocket Boots

Venture plays as a flanker, so anti-flank and anti-dive matter most. Expanded Field brings anti-dive; Rocket Boots brings anti-dive.

SITUATIONAL1 PICK

Orisa Situational Tank D

Durability and displacement reduce Baptiste's ability to force a clean engage or control close-range space.

  • MAP OR COMP DEPENDENT
HOW TO PLAY IT

Don't try to out-trade Orisa's Fortify. Heal from angles off her line and let your team pressure her before you push.

PERK PICK Solid pick

MinorAssault BurstMajorAutomated Healing

Orisa plays as a bruiser, so burst and duels matter most. Assault Burst brings burst and duels; Automated Healing brings sustain.
