Layla Counter Mobile Legends 2025

Layla ML Counter

Layla lacks mobility and she depends heavily on the player’s skills to survive. She has long range, high damage and can easily take down enemy heroes with her ultimate.

To counter Layla, you only use mobile heroes and deal burst damage. She will be easily taken down if you cc her before dealing damage.
