- It is a visible ground wave with travel time — jump or dash over it rather than trying to outrun it sideways
- Fight him from elevation or across a gap; the wave hugs the floor and does not climb ledges cleanly
- Bait both charges (he gets two at T1) before committing a dive; the Knockup is what cancels your engage

Singularity
Singularity Dynamo forms a black hole in his hands that drags nearby enemies toward him, stunning them and burning them with spirit damage for the duration of the channel. Crowd Control AoE stun plus a continuous vacuum pull for the full channel duration — the… Damage 75 spirit damage per second base (deadlock.one) over a ~2.75s channel; Mobility none; Dynamo is rooted in place for the channel 1 +2m vacuum radius 2 +0.75s channel time 5 +6% damage per enemy's missing health Ultimate The one cooldown worth tracking on its own timer: AoE Stun plus a continuous vacuum pull for the full channel duration — the longest and widest Hard CC among these eight heroes.
- Kill or CC him during the channel — he is stationary and undefended for 2.75s and any Stun ends the ultimate immediately
- Spread out before objective fights; the vacuum radius is finite and a spread formation means he catches one hero instead of four
- Carry a cleanse or CC-immunity item and save it specifically for this ability, not for lesser stuns

Quantum Entanglement
Quantum Entanglement Dynamo briefly stops being a valid target as he teleports to a nearby point, refilling stamina on arrival. Mobility 10m teleport base, +6m at Tier 1. Defensive The untargetable window dodges projectiles and incoming ultimates outright; 1 +6m cast range 2 -6s cooldown (from a 20s base) 5 reduces non-ultimate debuffs by 50% and replenishes one ability charge Ability 2 His only real mobility, a dodge for incoming burst, and — via the ally cast — a genuine group escape or repositioning tool.
- The teleport is very short — 10m base — so a hero with real mobility simply re-closes the gap immediately
- Delay your burst by half a second past his obvious panic point; once the untargetable window ends he has 14-20s with no dodge
- Cut off the destination rather than chasing the origin; he can only land within roughly 10-16m

Rejuvenating Aurora
Rejuvenating Aurora Dynamo channels a restorative field that heals himself and every nearby ally over several seconds. Mobility Tier 1 grants +4m move speed during the channel; Defensive Heals 30 health per second base across the area; 1 +4m move speed during the channel 2 -20s cooldown and +1s channel duration 5 removes the channel requirement and heals an additional 2.5% of max health per second Ability 3 The best raw team-sustain ability among these heroes. It resets a whole team between fights and can win an ongoing brawl outright if it is not interrupted.
- Apply healing reduction before you commit — this ability is why a Dynamo team survives a fight they lost on damage
- Hard CC still breaks the channel below Tier 3; a Stun or Knockup on Dynamo mid-Aurora wipes the remaining ticks
- Force the fight to move — he can dash during the channel but the field is anchored around him, so pulling his allies away from him drops them out of it

Until it is on cooldown you are playing around it; once it misses you have a window that is worth committing into. Make it the first thing you bait — show a sliver of yourself from behind cover rather than walking a clean line they can lead. Strategic
- Dynamo will shove the wave into your Guardian to push you off souls, and you are not fast enough to walk around it. The thing to protect is the floating orb — the ground orb drops and cannot be denied, so half your income is safe no matter what they do, and the contest is only ever over the other 50. Position on your Guardian's side of the wave so you are already in range of the floating orbs when they pop, and give up the forward orbs rather than crossing for them. Strategic

- A bishop parked in lane slides through both laners for 70 damage and a slow every few seconds Strategic
- Your kit is built around lockdown and that is worth less on the Mid Boss than on Dynamo — it carries 35% Debuff Resist as of 03-06-2026, so your disables run roughly two-thirds as long on it. Plan the take around damage and positioning rather than a CC chain, and spend the chain on Dynamo if they contest. The payoff is worth the trip: 3,000 souls + 50 per minute, two permanent buffs each, and a Rejuvenator crystal giving up to three single-use revives that return a player at full health after 3 seconds, for 3 minutes.

Ethereal Shift
Ethereal Shift +37s Cooldown +4s Duration +5s Buff Duration +30% Spirit Resist +20 Spirit Power kind explicitly does not stop aura-type effects, and the same logic applies to persistent fields: going untargetable inside their zone means you emerge on the other side at the same health, having spent the cooldown for nothing. The window has to be used to leave the area, not to survive standing in it. Strong evidence - Dynamo brings enough lockdown that Stun sequencing matters. Community reporting describes Stun diminishing returns of roughly 10% then 30% inside an 8-second window, applying to stuns only and not to silences, slows, disarms or hexes — so their follow-up chain may be shorter than the first one felt. Treat this as unconfirmed, but it is worth knowing before you burn a cleanse on the opening Stun. Uncertain
- Fights against Dynamo recur on the objective clock — the Rift every 7 minutes from about 11:00, the Urn every 5 from 10:00 — which means the question is not whether your ultimate is strong but whether it is up for the next one. Ultimate Cooldown Reduction is a new stat introduced on 09-16-2026, first appearing on

- Dynamo decides where you stand, not you. The practical rule is to never hold a position whose failure case is being moved — stand so that being yanked or knocked puts you somewhere survivable rather than inside their whole team. Cover at your back is worth more than cover in front. Strong evidence
- Dynamo wins by choosing where the fight happens. Take your position before the zoning goes down, not after — once the area is committed you are fighting on their terms, and walking in to contest it is exactly the mistake the kit is built to farm. Strategic
- You deal Spirit Damage, so
Healbane
Healbane +8s Duration +7 Spirit Power -35% Incoming Healing -35% Incoming Healing +275 Heal On Hero Kill is the cheaper and more reliable anti-heal against Dynamo — it lands off your abilities at T2 rather than asking you to sustain gunfire you are not built for. Strong evidence - Do not assume Dynamo shrugs off your anti-heal by going immune.
Unstoppable
Unstoppable +60s Cooldown +5.5s Duration +125 Bonus Health +25% Debuff Resist Builds from Debuff Reducer explicitly does not suppress healing reduction — if you have the debuff on them before they pop it, they are still healing at the reduced rate through the whole window. Documented - Against Dynamo's crowd control, understand what Debuff Resist actually buys you: it shortens duration, never magnitude. It is excellent against long disables and close to worthless against a short hard slow. Two things it explicitly does not shorten at all are the parry Stun and the

Unstoppable
Unstoppable +60s Cooldown +5.5s Duration +125 Bonus Health +25% Debuff Resist Builds from Debuff Reducer pre-cast or the discipline not to be there. Documented - The specific error is walking into Dynamo's area denial after it is already down, because your team is in there and you feel late. You are slow enough that entering a committed zone is a one-way decision — you will be inside it for its full duration, not for the two seconds you intended. Arrive before the zone or arrive from the other side of it; arriving into it is how this matchup is lost even when your team wins the fight. Strategic
- The Unstable Rift capture point is a 20m circle on a bridge, capture only progresses when no enemy is inside it, and everyone standing in it is revealed on the minimap. That is a purpose-built trap for Dynamo. The mistake is treating the circle as the objective: you do not need to stand in it, you need them not to. Contest from outside the radius, deny with a single body at the edge, and let their Area Damage land on empty bridge. Strategic

Dynamo's kit and counterplay were compiled from 7 sources, cross-checked for patch 09-29-2026. Threat ratings compare this pairing against Solomon's own baseline win rate rather than a flat 50%, because ranking by raw win rate produces the wrong answer for heroes whose overall win rate is not 50%.
