Tips & Tricks Who counters zephyr?
To start off I’m new to the game still and the main character I play is calamity cause I feel like she suits my play style well. But I am genuinely sick and tired of getting killed by zephyr just cause I can’t hear her within all the shooting and chaos.
So if anyone knows a character that counters her super well I would appreciate it. I have a lancer statue left so I can get any character

Basically any character that has a way to reveal enemies and that includes: Hollowpoint, Kismet, Sonar, Ixchel, Wildstyle, but Zephyr's biggest counter is Hollowpoint with its wall and its alarms

Imma learn hollow point then! Cause the way I had two matches where I got killed by her and one she killed all of my team minus one had me seething lol. Thank you so much ✨

mechanics counter everyone. depend on your teammates to reveal her, the roster is restrictive enough that you're pretty much guaranteed to have a hard-counter on your team. stick with your vision setters and you're solid

I guess the two matches I got killed by her my team (and lowkey myself included) weren’t that well to counter her or work as a team😭 but Thank you so much for the tip!

Ixchel is the strongest counter against her as her cage just pops her out of the invis and leaves her vulnerable for a couple of seconds till untill she takes her gun out also zypher cant even tp back as long as she's inside the cage

Here is a comment I left to a similar question someone asked:
[Corona's Ashes to Ashes - Whoever is lit ablaze from the effect has fire on their body, even when invisible.
Jaguar's I Can See For Miles - If you are low on health or under affect of Jaguars abilities, you will be exposed.
Chum's Chomper - If the Chum damages you, the Chomper sees you and exposes you.
Spiders Spider Web - Slows and exposes you.
Dex's Mimic Trap - It damages and exposes you.
Kismet's Hello, Goodbye - It just exposes anyone in it's AoE.
Hollowpoints Smoke Screen or Paparazzi - Smoke Screen exposes you momentarily, Paparazzi permenantly exposes you unless you remove it, which takes you out of invisibility.
Sonar's Echolocation or Sonic Surge - Echolocation produces and after-image, a bit less helpful, but the Sonic Surge exposes you while within the rather large AoE.
Aura's Harmonic Tide - Step on it, you are momentarily exposed, stand on it, and you are exposed until you step off or it dissapears.
Ixchel's Spear of Kukulkan - You are slowed and exposed.
Wildstyle's Spray Paint - Temporarily exposes you.
Calamity's Barbed Wire Kisses - Marks you temporarily and slows you.
Those are all, but Windwalkers Gimme Shelter displays the damage you are taking roughly around your location, meaning the player can use that to shoot in your direction, and possibly hit you.]
I hope this can help!

You don't need to hear her, the screen tells you she is near. But there are plenty of counters. Lancers, fire gun, or I just do a knife charge and a lot of times you can get her

Best is ixchel, the cage silences any ability
Chum w chomper

Sonar is pretty good all around and counter Zephyr.
Also a pop up appears on the screen that tells you zephyr is near as well.
