The only defense against Helldive and Overload is to run away.

Shields are not only ignored, but hit for full damage, as well as the bot they protect. Stealth is ignored completely. The only effective counters are:
 * Jump, if you hit it soon enough.
 * Dash, as long as you can escape.
 * Glide, which will throw you out of harms way in about a second.
 * Attacking the Mercury using Helldive, and killing it before it lands (difficult, and Hellburner counters this with its Death explosion)
