Bounty Hunter

In addition, Slardar's Slardar Guardian Sprint Guardian Sprint gives a very high movement speed bonus allowing him to chase Bounty Hunter even if Slardar is tracked.

* Juggernaut also tends to build a Manta Style, which can prevent Desolate from taking effect.
* Juggernaut is invulnerable against Dispersion while using Juggernaut Omnislash Omnislash

Anti-Mage

[wiki] rating: 1.6 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 15%)

Counters these heroes:

Spectre

* Spectre cannot chase down Anti-Mage with Spectre Spectral Dagger Spectral Dagger because of Blink, though it still grants her team vision over him.
* Counterspell reduces much of the damage from Spectre Dispersion Dispersion and Spectre's Radiance.
* Anti-Mage usually builds a Manta Style, preventing Spectre from dealing any Spectre Desolate Desolate damage to him once he summons his illusions.
Additional:
* Spectre has no way to prevent Anti-Mage Blink Blink, for escape or initiation. Anti-Mage can easily pick off enemy supports and Spectre cannot do anything about it.
* Anti-Mage Mana Break Mana Break burns through Spectre's low mana pool.
* Manta Style's illusions prevent Desolate's damage.
* Even though Anti-Mage is outcarried by Spectre in the later stages of the game, a competent Anti-Mage with a Battle Fury can easily outfarm and get ahead of Spectre before she can come online.

Bounty Hunter

* Heroes that are naturally hard to gank, ranging from beefy tanks like Abaddon Abaddon and Wraith King to heroes with quick escape mechanisms like Anti-Mage and Storm Spirit are also undesirable targets for a lone, roaming Bounty Hunter to scout out and initiate on.

Storm Spirit

[wiki] rating: 1.6 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 11%)

Counters these heroes:

Bounty Hunter

Spectre

* Ball Lightning is the ultimate counter to Spectre's entire toolkit. With this ability, he can score easy kills on Spectre without her having any means of escape early game, kite her and her Spectre Haunt Haunt illusions when it's later in the game due to her having no form of pseudo-blinks. Furthermore, it is very difficult for Spectre to deal any substantial damage against Storm Spirit with Spectre Desolate Desolate, and without both a Manta Style and a Diffusal Blade he will always remain on the move. Also, Ball Lightning grants invulnerability, and as Storm Spirit likes to spam that ability, he can mitigate the damage done from Spectre Dispersion Dispersion and Radiance.
Additional:
* Storm Spirit can exploit every one of Spectre's weaknesses, and thus is one of the best counters against her.
* Spectre has to be in melee range to deal damage, making her likely to trigger Storm Spirit Static Remnant Static Remnants and susceptible to being kited by Storm Spirit Overload Overload procs.
* Storm Spirit Electric Vortex Electric Vortex can lock Spectre down as she doesn't like to build Black King Bar.
* Storm Spirit Ball Lightning Ball Lightning gives Storm Spirit multiple advantages:
* Spectre cannot evade Storm Spirit, as Ball Lightning is superior to Spectral Dagger in terms of mobility.
* Storm Spirit can kite her and her Haunt illusions when it's later in the game due to her having no form of pseudo-blinks (Reality is far inferior to Ball Lightning).
* It is very difficult for Spectre to deal any substantial damage against Storm Spirit with Desolate. Ball Lightning grants invulnerability and can mitigate damage done from Dispersion and Radiance.

Mars

[wiki] rating: 1.6 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 19%)

Counters these heroes:

Spectre

* Spectre cannot have a good game if she is pressured heavily in lane, which is something Mars can do.
* Spectre can use Spectre Haunt Haunt and Spectre Spectral Dagger Spectral Dagger inside and outside from Arena of Blood, but it doesn't really matter since Mars does best during the early and mid game.
* Should Spectre get to the late game, Mars can block a large amount of her damage and split the teamfights in his advantage.

Bounty Hunter

* Heroes who rely on their target to run away: Riki Riki, Bounty Hunter.

Lion

[wiki] rating: 1.6 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 14%)

Counters these heroes:

Spectre

* Lion Hex Hex and Lion Mana Drain Mana Drain can be used to immediately destroy Spectre's illusion when she Haunts. A fast fingered Lion can protect himself and a teammate.
* Hex and Lion Earth Spike Earth Spike are good lockdown spells to control and kill Spectre, especially if she doesn't buy defensive items like Linken Linken's Sphere and Black King Bar.
* Lion Finger of Death Finger of Death can be used to burst down Spectre when she is low on life as she has very poor magic resistance.

Bounty Hunter

* Finger of Death can instantly shred many targets especially fragile Heroes like Keeper of the Light, Ancient Apparition, or Bounty Hunter.

Night Stalker

[wiki] rating: 1.2 (winrate: 53% pickrate: 6%)

Counters these heroes:

Spectre

* Heroes that have a weak laning stage: Spectre Spectre, Nyx Assassin, Clockwerk, Spirit Breaker, Omniknight, Pudge Pudge.

Bounty Hunter

Bloodseeker

[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 55% pickrate: 5%)

Counters these heroes:

Bounty Hunter

* Bloodseeker's Bloodseeker Rupture Rupture can turn Bounty Hunter's mobility against him, and prevents him from escaping with Shadow Walk due to the potentially heavy damage.
* Bloodseeker Thirst Thirst can prevent Bounty Hunter from escaping with Shadow Walk should Bounty Hunter's health become low enough.

Zeus

[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 53% pickrate: 15%)

Counters these heroes:

Spectre

* Zeus is good against heroes that juke in trees or up cliffs, like Batrider, Monkey King, Spectre Spectre, and Tinker Tinker, by providing vision in any area with Lightning Bolt, or guaranteeing vision on enemies with Thundergod's Wrath.

Bounty Hunter

* Bounty Hunter has a very low health pool, allowing Zeus to burst him down quickly.
* Zeus can cast Lightning Bolt to gain True Sight in any area he suspects Bounty Hunter may be invisible or any area he thinks Bounty Hunter may have warded.

Countered by:

Spectre

* Zeus can deal a huge amount of damage, but he lacks defensive abilities, such as good mobility or resistance. Due to that, he doesn't like to be touched by any means. Heroes with higher damage output and good mobility will often get easily near Zeus and trade damage (eventually causing Zeus's downfall). Such Heroes include: Lycan Lycan, Slark Slark, Storm Spirit, Spectre Spectre and others.

[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 53% pickrate: 11%)

Counters these heroes:

Spectre

Counters these heroes:

Bounty Hunter

Meepo

[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 1%)

Counters these heroes:

Spectre

* Meepo Poof Poof combined with Meepo Earthbind Earthbind can be used to easily lockdown and burst Spectre down.

* Meepo's global map presence allows him to effectively hunt for Spectre and disrupt her farm.
* Spectre has no strong AOE abilities or way to control or lock down Meepo.

Terrorblade

[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 6%)

Counters these heroes:

Shadow Demon

[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 2%)

Counters these heroes:

Spectre

* Her illusions with Spectre Desolate Desolate is very valuable, especially when they are usually paired with Radiance. Unlike blink or force movement, Spectre Spectral Dagger Spectral Dagger's escaping mechanic requires manual movement, and therefore Demonic Purge can hold her back really hard allow your allies to finish her off.
* If she would try to kill you or any key ally with Spectre Haunt Haunt at any point of the game, remember to not panic and always use Disrupt on the illusion, whether it is fake or the real Spectre herself. When the situation calls, Demonic Purge can save a second victim from a haunting Spectre.

Doom

[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 6%)

* Doom can pick up several different abilities from neutral creeps using Doom Devour Devour, some of which can be annoying to Spectre.
* Mud Golem, Dark Troll Summoner, Harpy Stormcrafter, Satyr Mindstealer or Satyr Tormenter are good examples.
* Doom Doom Doom makes Spectre less disruptive.

Lycan

[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 1%)

Counters these heroes:

Spectre

* The movement speed granted from Lycan Shapeshift Shapeshift means that Spectre has no way to punish Lycan if he wants to splitpush or pick off supports. Furthermore, he will kite Haunt and cannot be slowed by Spectral Dagger.
* As Lycan typically has Lycan Summon Wolves Summon Wolves out and builds Necronomicon, very rarely will he be damaged by Desolate if he does manage to get into a fight against her.

Pugna

[wiki] rating: 0.4 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 6%)

Counters these heroes:

Spectre

* Pugna Nether Blast Nether Blast is one of the best tower pushing abilities in the game, with a low cooldown. A competent Pugna will (at the very least) destroy tier 2 towers and make space for his team before Spectre can finally come online.
* Spectre's spells, while not spammable, have a fairly high mana cost, so Pugna Nether Ward Nether Ward can be fairly damaging to Spectre early game. The mana degen will also dampen Spectre's early game power significantly.
* Once Pugna gets Aghanim Aghanim's Scepter, he can spam Pugna Life Drain Life Drain on any illusion Spectre summons, whether it'd be from Haunt, Manta Style, or some other means.
* In addition, Pugna can disable Spectre's Desolate ability (although its damage is pure, it requires physical attacks) with his Pugna Decrepify Decrepify ability, leaving Spectre only with Spectral Dagger.

Countered by:

Spectre

* Heroes the make heavy use of illusions, like Chaos Knight, Phantom Lancer, or Spectre Spectre can suffer from Crystal Maiden, as Freezing Field can quickly kill off the entire horde if not stopped.

Watch Slark carefully, as he can break either (but not both unless you are making a mistake) of your disables, with Slark Dark Pact Dark Pact and leap out of a serpent ward ring. These heroes, however, rely heavily on escape and are themselves not very durable and none of them can survive a full lockdown with Mass Serpent Ward.
