Two of the most well-known and powerful ways to shrink time to kill (TTK) are the Cauterize and Wrecker items. Since Paladins release, these two items served as the cornerstone by which the strategies were designed and in-game pace depended. This guide covers every method by which each champion can access and counter Cauterize/Wrecker.Firstly, weapon attacks/shots. This is a technical term used in-game to denote which abilities transfer the bonus effects of the following items.As such, it is often more effective to destroy shields using weapon attacks (with Wrecker) or to constantly ping enemies using weapon attacks (with Cauterize) than to waste the cooldowns of damaging abilities.Counters to Cauterize are divided into four different types for the purpose of this guide. This guide does not list any champions' self-healing abilities, lifesteal buffs, flat increase to healing of abilities, or abilities that break line of sight, as I found these either too numerous to list and/or self-evident.
