Mechabellum Overlord Counter: Range, Screens & Anti-Air
An Overlord matchup guide based on community unit references, with separate treatment for target damage and the supporting screen. This page separates current official facts from community examples and unknown version-sensitive details.
The captured community guide lists Marksmen, Melting Points, Phoenixes, Mustangs, and Fortress as candidate Overlord counters. It also emphasizes distracting the Overlord with low-cost units while your damage dealers connect.

Recommended approach
Keep a screen between Overlords and your valuable units, then use range or air-capable damage that can reach the target. If the Overlord has a mobile or defensive support line, solve that layer before adding more anti-air.
Your response is working when the Overlord spends attacks on low-value targets while your counter continues to fire. If it repositions or the screen disappears, adapt formation and target access before repeating the same purchase.
What changes the answer
Use Marksmen or Phoenixes when their target path is protected; use Mustangs or Fortress only when their current tech and the opponent’s supporting units make the exchange favorable.
Version and evidence boundary
The candidate list comes from a community guide and is not a post-2.0 official counter matrix. It is conditional on the live board and technology selection.
