We're here and there's a bunch crazy zombie bitches throwing knives. What now?!?!?

As many have noticed, we have walked into a situation where we will now have to contend with Kiera as an enemy combatant.  It sucks a little bit.  So, how can the situation be remedied?

Let's look at some counters.

  • The Twins + heroes with high AoE
  • Andvari - I know right?
  • The Undead (Specifically Corvus, but you'll want Morrigan too
  • Celeste
  • Nebula indirectly
  • Heroes that can stun and/or put her to sleep/silence her - Faceless, Lian, Thea, Kiera, 
  • K'arkh as long as the enemy team doesn't have that Squid fondling asshole Andvari.
So why do these heroes work?  Who should I choose?

Well, that's going to depend on your base team.  There is only reason to raise a new team to fight Kiera is if you're planning on switching to that team full time.  Otherwise, look at situational heroes that can be added to your team.

Let's start with the Twins.

It just so happens that Kiera is extremely susceptible to Magic damage.  This makes the Twins an ideal offensive candidate for Zombie Hunting.  Krista is particularly bothersome to Kiera.  Krista's White skill will bounce around dealing a good amount of damage to the enemy team.  Her Green skill will hit the middle of the team, reduce their magic defense and apply a mark of water.  This sets Kiera up nicely for Lars.  Kiera also really enjoys sitting in the middle of the team.  Krista's blue skill will damage anyone that moves and apply a Mark of Water.  Kiera's going to move.  She can't help it.  She's a zombie, and they're just not that smart...  By the way, Krista is dealing damage the whole time, leading up to an entry from....
Lars! It's really only necessary to look at Lars's Violet skill here.  This attack stuns.  Zombies don't throw knives or any other kitchen utensils when they're stunned...  If this isn't enough add Nebula to the team.  She will boost their magic damage to an insanely high number with her Violet skill.

Andvari.

This tree hugging hippy weirdo is only added because he has stun.  See above for what happens to zombies when they're stunned...

Lian.

Lian will put Kiera to sleep, she will do her best to keep Kiera asleep.  You will want to take heroes that can do a lot of damage really quickly while Kiera is asleep.  Kill her fast.  When she wakes up, she'll start throwing shit again.  I recommend Orion and Nebula.  Keep in mind that Lian is only good for two things:  Bad crossdresser jokes, and fighting Kiera.  If you're tight on resources, she's a waste of time.

Celeste .

Celeste will also stun Kiera; though not as effectively as Lars.  She will also attack Kiera with a lot of magic damage.

For the other heroes that are able to stun, I'm not going to go into detail.  They stun her.  Zombies are easier to kill when they're stunned.  

Now, for the best available counter you can find...

THE UNDEAD

The best way to defeat zombies is to fight them with more zombies.  Morrigan isn't absolutely needed for this to work, but this duo will be stronger with her than without, so take her.  Corvus will absolutely demolish teams with his Blue Skill.  Often, if he summons the altar in a timely manner, this will kill Keira almost immediately.

Finally, if your heroes have an armor level lower than Kiera's armor penetration level, she will do extra damage.  In short, level up your armor.
