His passive allows him to heal HP and have increased movement speed whenever he is not seen by the enemy map. This makes him incredibly efficient, as he does not have to recall back to base anymore and just heal his lost HP in the jungle.
In this ONE Esports guide, we have created a list of heroes you can pick against this pesky assassin effectively.

Eudora

Begin by stunning him with Ball Lightning, then unleash Thunder’s Wrath and Forked Lightning to swiftly take him down. You can use either Hero Lock Mode or Skill Smart Targeting to ensure precise targeting.
For even more devastating damage, consider acquiring items that boost your magic penetration and magic power, like Genius Wand, Divine Glaive, and Holy Crystal.
If he activates Dark Night Falls, hide in a bush, stay close to a turret, or use Winter Truncheon. Wait for him to use up his skills before launching your deadly combo and catching him off guard.
Hylos
Hylos boasts multiple crowd-control effects that can stop Helcurt in his tracks.

When he casts his ultimate, promptly activate Ring of Punishment to impede his movement and attack speed if he tries to approach you.
As soon as your vision is fully restored, use Glorious Pathway to enhance your movement speed and that of your allies, enabling you to chase him down.
By triggering Law and Order, you can further increase your movement speed and stun him with the enhanced basic attack. Throughout the pursuit, maintain Ring of Punishment to hinder his escape.
Build physical defense items, such as Dominance Ice and Antique Cuirass, to mitigate his burst damage.
Natalia
If you’re looking for a stealthier assassin to use against Helcurt, Natalia is an excellent option. She can sneak up on him, remove his Prowler State passive, and swiftly execute him with her lethal combo.
While in conceal state, move from bush to bush in locating Helcurt. Once you spot him farming in the jungle or lane, use Hero Lock Mode to ensure you precisely target him with your assault.
Initiate with the enhanced basic attack from Assassin Instinct, inflicting substantial damage and silencing him. Finish him off with another amplified attack using The Hunt.
To increase your chances of slaying Helcurt with your combo, buy Blade of the Heptaseas, Malefic Roar, and Blade of Despair. These items will enhance your damage output.
If he manages to close in on you, use Smoke Bomb to evade his basic attacks and slow him down. Then, use Claw Dash to flee, allowing you to regroup and plan your next move.
Rafaela
Helcurt’s effectiveness heavily relies on staying hidden, but Rafaela has the perfect counter with her Light of Retribution ability.

With its low cooldown and ability to reveal hidden enemies near bushes, she can prevent Helcurt from lurking undetected. In team fights, Rafaela can safeguard the core or marksman by continuously using Light of Retribution, thwarting Helcurt’s attempts to initiate while Prowler State is active.
Given Rafaela’s low HP, it’s wise to equip her with defensive items like Antique Cuirass, Twilight Armor, or Winter’s Truncheon.
These items enhance her survivability, allowing her to fulfill her role as a protector more effectively while countering Helcurt’s stealth tactics.
Akai

Akai is an excellent counter against Helcurt due to his innate tankiness and multiple crowd-control skills.
During team fights, Akai can effectively neutralize Helcurt by pushing him away with Heavy Spin or a well-timed Headbutt.
In this matchup, it’s crucial to stack as many physical damage reduction items as possible, such as Antique Cuirass or Blade Armor.
Additionally, consider purchasing Immortality in the late game once Helcurt completes his core items to further enhance survivability.
