[wiki] rating: 2.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 7%)Naga Siren

Chaos Knight
* Reactive Armor helps Timbersaw to endure the damage from Chaos Bolt and
Reality Rift combo.
* Timbersaw's large amount of pure damage AoE nukes clears Chaos Knight's illusions quickly, drastically reducing his damage.

Earthshaker
[wiki] rating: 2.0 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 10%)Naga Siren
* Mirror Image's illusions increase Echo Slam's damage.
Additional:
* Strong AoE abilities can clear Naga Siren's illusions, or at least make it easier to distinguish the real one by the damage they take.

Terrorblade and the aforementioned
Chaos Knight.
Phantom Lancer is an exception.

Naga Siren,
Spectre.
Chaos Knight

Lion
[wiki] rating: 1.6 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 16%)Naga Siren
* Both Hex and
Mana Drain destroys Naga Siren's illusions in an instant, making it hard to teamfight or push against a team with Lion. If Lion chooses the AoE effect talent for Hex or the multi-target Mana Drain, it can negate her pushing potential entirely.
* Earth Spike is an AoE disable with good damage. If used well, it can help distinguish the true Naga Siren by the damage they take (illusions take more damage).
Chaos Knight
* One of Lion's level 20 talents lets Mana Drain affect 2 secondary targets. This can make things difficult for heroes like Phantom Lancer,
Chaos Knight, and
Terrorblade who rely on illusion armies.

Terrorblade who rely on illusion armies.

* Cleave heroes will clear her illusions. Such heroes include Sven,
Magnus,
Dragon Knight in Elder Dragon Form,
Ember Spirit (via item),
Phantom Assassin (via talent or item), etc.
Chaos Knight

Phantasm's illusions down quickly.
Snapfire
[wiki] rating: 1.6 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 9%)Naga Siren
* Mortimer Kisses can make quick work of Naga Siren's illusions.

* Great Cleave and
God's Strength devastates Phantasm illusions.
Sand King
[wiki] rating: 1.2 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 10%)Chaos Knight

* He can apply Caustic Finale to illusions with attacks for extra damage.
Naga Siren

Phoenix has many tools to deal with a crowd of Heroes, which will work well against a crowd of illusions.
Dark Seer

* Sand King and
Phoenix has many tools to deal with a crowd of Heroes, which will work well against a crowd of illusions.
Chaos Knight

Naga Siren.
Naga Siren

Phantom Lancer,
Naga Siren.
Meepo
[wiki] rating: 1.2 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 1%)Naga Siren
* Meepo can just mess up Naga Siren entirely: His
Earthbind is AoE, which can bind her illusions, his
Poof is a powerful AoE nuke and will clear her illusions. He is also 2/3/4
Meepos, not one, so her Ensnare will not work efficiently against him.
Chaos Knight
* Illusion-based and multi-unit heroes can take advantage of Chaos Knight's lack of area damage: Naga Siren,
Phantom Lancer,
Meepo,
Broodmother
Grimstroke

Sinister Gaze can hypnotize Chaos Knight and his illusions while also draining his already low mana pool.
Brewmaster
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 2%)Chaos Knight
* Storm's Dispel Magic combined with Thunder Clap deals high damage against Chaos Knight's illusions even in the late game.

* Many stacks of Sticky Napalm, combined with Flamebreak and Firefly, allows Batrider to destroy illusions from Mirror Image.

Night Stalker
[wiki] rating: -2.0 (winrate: 53% pickrate: 5%)Naga Siren

Templar Assassin
[wiki] rating: -1.2 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 5%)Chaos Knight
* Multiple attackers thanks to illusions: Phantom Lancer,
Chaos Knight,
Naga Siren (bonus for her
Ensnare). Also despite the visual effects, Templar Assassin does not spill damage against illusions or buildings, so she is not a really good hero to clean up illusions.

[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 5%)Naga Siren
* Naga Siren is a natural split-pusher. With a Radiance equipped, she will easily out-push Nature's Prophet, farming his treants in the process.
* Ensnare prevents Teleportation. Even if he hid inside Sprout, Song of the Siren lasts long enough to prevent him from escaping.
Additional:
* Naga Siren is a natural split-pusher. With Rip Tide, she will easily out-push Nature's Prophet, farming his treants in the process.
* Ensnare prevents Teleportation. Even if he hides inside
Sprout, Song of the Siren lasts long enough to prevent him from escaping.
Pudge
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 21%)Chaos Knight
* Phantasm's illusions make it difficult to land Meat Hook and
Dismember.
* Chaos Bolt is a comparatively low cooldown tool to interrupt Dismember.
* Chaos Strike's lifesteal offsets Rot's damage.
Slark
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 13%)Chaos Knight
* Dark Pact is minimally effective against Phantasm illusions, and Slark lacks area damage otherwise.
* Pounce can be counteracted by Reality Rift.
* Slark is naturally frail and dies quickly to Chaos Knight's burst damage before he can build Essence Shift stacks.
* Be aware, however, that Shadow Dance can make Slark hard to kill as he can't be targeted during its duration.
Additional:
* Phantasms have enough health to survive Dark Pact, and Slark has no other source of AoE damage to deal with them.
Sniper
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 5%)Naga Siren
* Ensnare with her attacks allows Naga Siren to gank Sniper easily.
* Rip Tide removes Sniper's very little armor.
Dazzle
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 6%)Naga Siren
* Mirror Image's illusions can easily walk straight at Dazzle and attack him, due to Dazzle's lack of reliable AoE nukes or disables.
* Ensnare roots Dazzle or his allies, making it harder to stay range of Dazzle's saving abilities.
* Song of the Siren can be used to initiate a fight with superior positioning, potentially zoning Dazzle's high-impact spells out of the fight.
Silencer
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 8%)Chaos Knight
* Casting Phantasm before a fight minimizes the disruption from Global Silence.
* Because Chaos Knight generally relies on attack damage, Silencer's spells won't be as effective against him.
Drow Ranger
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 8%)Chaos Knight
* Reality Rift will disable Drow Ranger's Marksmanship, along with
Chaos Bolt he can keep her locked for enough time to be killed.
* Phantasm's illusions are hard for Drow Ranger to deal with as she lacks of AoE damage.
Troll Warlord
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 10%)Chaos Knight
* Chaos Knight's tanky illusions easily take advantage of Troll Warlord's lack of AoE damage.
* Chaos Bolt can stun Troll for up to 4 seconds and
Reality Rift prevents Troll Warlord from chasing down foes.
* Phantasm increases Chaos Knight's physical damage output up to 4 times and can easily kill Troll Warlord before he has a chance to use Battle Trance or a
Black King Bar.
Crystal Maiden
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 14%)Chaos Knight
* Heroes the make heavy use of illusions, like Chaos Knight,
Phantom Lancer, or
Spectre can suffer from Crystal Maiden, as Freezing Field can quickly kill off the entire horde if not stopped.
Chaos Knight
* Innately fragile heroes will die almost instantly to Reality Rift while Chaos Knight has illusions active: Drow Ranger,
Bane,
Necrophos,
Crystal Maiden.
Naga Siren
* Mirror Image can dispel Frostbite.
* Song of the Siren can stop Freezing Field regardless of any kind of invisibility as well as allow Naga Siren's team to quickly close the gap on Crystal Maiden.
Additional:
* Mirror Image can dispel Frostbite.
* Ensnare and Song of the Siren can stop Freezing Field.
* Song of the Siren can allow her team to quickly close the gap on Crystal Maiden.
Ogre Magi
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 16%)Chaos Knight
* Phantasm dispels Ignite and makes targeting the real Chaos Knight much harder.
Razor
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 54% pickrate: 2%)Chaos Knight
* Razor has no way to deal with Chaos Knight's multiple illusions from Phantasm.
Doom
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 44% pickrate: 3%)Chaos Knight
* Single-target disablers will have difficulty locking down a Chaos Knight with Phantasm active: Bane,
Beastmaster,
Bloodseeker,
Clockwerk,
Doom,
Shadow Shaman.
Medusa
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 45% pickrate: 2%)Naga Siren
* Heroes that build Diffusal Blade or can fit it well into their item build will also make Medusa much less tanky:
Riki,
Naga Siren,
Terrorblade,
Juggernaut,
Spectre,
Slark,
Drow Ranger.
Shadow Demon
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 3%)Chaos Knight
* Chaos Knight,
Lone Druid,
Meepo and
Arc Warden can be hard targets since Shadow Demon's spells are ill-suited to fight many enemies at once.
Vengeful Spirit
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 7%)Chaos Knight
* Heroes who relies on illusions and summons (Beastmaster,
Chaos Knight, etc.).
Slardar
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 8%)Naga Siren
* Illusion heroes like the aforementioned Phantom Lancer or
Naga Siren, or heroes that tend to buy
Manta Style, like
Luna or
Juggernaut, will give Slardar a hard time, as his damage is single-targeted.
Undying
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 7%)Chaos Knight
* Chaos Knight's multiple illusions from
Phantasm can destroy Undying, as Soul Rip can't offset the damage from the high amount of damage from his illusions.
Necrophos
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 4%)Chaos Knight
* Heroes that have high health but little to no magic resistance are easy prey for Necrophos, as no matter how high they build their health up, Reaper's Scythe will kill them outright as long as they fall under a certain threshold, and Heartstopper Aura will deal the same amount of damage regardless, decaying their health the longer they stay within range. As such, Strength heroes like Chaos Knight,
Centaur Warrunner or
Magnus are good targets for his ultimate.
Chaos Knight
* Illusions make it difficult for Necrophos to target his Reaper's Scythe correctly, thus giving illusion heroes like Chaos Knight or
Naga Siren an edge against Necrophos.
Naga Siren
* Illusions make it difficult for Necrophos to target his Reaper's Scythe correctly, thus giving illusion heroes like Chaos Knight or
Naga Siren an edge against Necrophos.
Ursa
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 13%)Chaos Knight
* Ursa struggles against illusion heroes like Chaos Knight and
Phantom Lancer.
Additional:
* Ursa cannot effectively fight against Phantasm's illusions with his single-target damage.
* Chaos Bolt's potentially long stun with Chaos Bolt gives Ursa little opportunity to Enrage.
Skywrath Mage
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 6%)Chaos Knight
* Skywrath mage also has a terrible time fighting against anything that isn't a hero. As Mystic Flare only affects heroes, his skills are mostly target-based and he has terrible strength and agility, he can easily be kited or harassed by illusion-based heroes like Chaos Knight and
Phantom Lancer, or by Heroes that summon other units like
Lone Druid,
Lycan and
Beastmaster.
Storm Spirit
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 10%)Naga Siren
* Any hero reliant of mobility, like Storm Spirit.
Visage
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 2%)Chaos Knight
* Heroes that can overwhelm Visage by sheer number like Chaos Knight,
Meepo,
Terrorblade and
Phantom Lancer.
Warlock
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 5%)Chaos Knight
* Warlock is a very strong hero when positioned correctly, and his long cast range helps him with this. However, some Heroes might disrupt or sneakily pass through your allies and deal with you, preventing you from doing your job. Such heroes include Chaos Knight,
Spirit Breaker,
Riki, and some others.
Bane
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 5%)Chaos Knight
* Heroes with illusions and summons can swarm Bane, who has no area abilities: Broodmother,
Chaos Knight,
Nature's Prophet,
Phantom Lancer,
Terrorblade
Additional:
* Phantasm's illusions make it difficult for Bane to target Chaos Knight with Nightmare,
Brain Sap and
Fiend's Grip.
* Chaos Bolt is a comparatively low cooldown tool to interrupt Fiend's Grip.
* Nightmare can be transferred by Phantasm illusions.
Shadow Shaman
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 15%)Chaos Knight
* Single-target disablers will have difficulty locking down a Chaos Knight with Phantasm active: Bane,
Beastmaster,
Bloodseeker,
Clockwerk,
Doom,
Shadow Shaman.
Beastmaster
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 55% pickrate: 4%)Chaos Knight
* Single-target disablers will have difficulty locking down a Chaos Knight with Phantasm active: Bane,
Beastmaster,
Bloodseeker,
Clockwerk,
Doom,
Shadow Shaman.
Lycan
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 57% pickrate: 6%)Naga Siren
* Lycan is a carrier built entirely with physical attacks, having 0 AoE presence and no spell power. Due to this, he can't deal with illusions or Naga Siren's Ensnare.
Tinker
[wiki] rating: -0.2 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 8%)Chaos Knight
* With Aghanim's Scepter, Tinker's Laser completely stops Chaos Knight's damage, forcing him to buy either a Black King Bar for his own survivability while leaving his illusions still vulnerable, or a Monkey King Bar leaving him still vulnerable to Tinker's nukes, though improving his damage.
* Tinker rarely finds himself in the middle of a fight, which is where Chaos Knight typically thrives, and even in the rare cases of being so, at level 3 Tinker's constant rearm and blink away can kite and dodge Chaos Knight's spells reliably, so Chaos Knight has very little catch against Tinker's mobility. This gives Tinker impunity to create more chaos in a teamfight than Chaos Knight can control, laying down the field with March of the Machines and constantly being hit by rockets and lasers.
Additional:
* Tinker's Aghanim's Scepter upgraded Laser can blind him and all of his Phantasm illusions.
Chaos Knight
* Illusion heroes, such as Naga Siren,
Phantom Lancer,
Chaos Knight,
Terrorblade will become strong against Tinker in the late game when Tinker's only area of effect damage, March of the Machines, ceases to kill illusions quickly. Without
Aghanim's Scepter Tinker is forced to defensively disarm heroes with Laser, leaving illusions free to deal physical damage which Tinker's low armor makes highly effective. In addition,
Mjollnir or
Battle Fury, two common pickups against illusion heroes, don't work well on Tinker at all.
Naga Siren
* Illusion heroes, such as Naga Siren,
Phantom Lancer,
Chaos Knight,
Terrorblade will become strong against Tinker in the late game when Tinker's only area of effect damage, March of the Machines, ceases to kill illusions quickly. Without
Aghanim's Scepter Tinker is forced to defensively disarm heroes with Laser, leaving illusions free to deal physical damage which Tinker's low armor makes highly effective. In addition,
Mjollnir or
Battle Fury, two common pickups against illusion heroes, don't work well on Tinker at all.
Phantom Assassin
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 16%)Naga Siren
* Cleave heroes will clear her illusions. Such heroes include Sven,
Magnus,
Dragon Knight in Elder Dragon Form,
Ember Spirit (via item),
Phantom Assassin (via talent or item), etc.
Chaos Knight
* Heroes with illusions and summons can be hard for Phantom Assassin to deal with, as she lacks any AoE abilities to deal with them: Broodmother,
Phantom Lancer,
Chaos Knight.
Omniknight
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 2%)Chaos Knight
* Phantasms can be easily killed with Purification.
* Heavenly Grace dispels the stun from Chaos Bolt and the armor reduction from
Reality Rift.
* Guardian Angel works well against Chaos Knight's overwhelming reliance on physical burst damage.
Additional:
* Purification heals a teammate targeted by Reality Rift and heavily damages Chaos Knight and his illusions in the process.
* Guardian Angel blocks all of Chaos Knight's damage for a duration.
Naga Siren
* Song of the Siren can be used to time out Guardian Angel, giving Naga Siren's team an easy opportunity to counter-initiate.
Additional:
* Song of the Siren will waste Guardian Angel.
* Ensnare fully works on Heavenly Graced targets. However, Ensnare is dispellable with any dispel, and so can be dispelled by Heavenly Grace.
* As an agility hero that relies on illusions, Naga is one of the most natural Diffusal Blade carriers, the bane of every hero with a small mana pool.
Zeus
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 11%)Naga Siren
* Zeus' abilities deal high amounts of burst magical damage, which ignores Naga Siren's high armor.
* Zeus' Arc Lightning is also a good way to destroy Naga Siren's illusions.
Chaos Knight
* Chaos Knight's high health pool makes him resistant to Zeus' burst damage. Phantasm can dispel
Veil of Discord, a typical item purchased by Zeus.
* Zeus is easily overwhelmed by Chaos Knight's strong illusions, as Arc Lightning is not enough to kill them fast enough to have any impact.
* Zeus' low base armor makes him extremely vulnerable to Chaos Knight's high damage output and armor reduction.
Bloodseeker
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 2%)Naga Siren
* Heroes with long-lasting, undispellable debuffs will pinpoint the true Naga Siren: Spirit Breaker,
Bloodseeker.
Chaos Knight
* Heroes with illusion and clone abilities may confuse Bloodseeker, causing him to waste time in fights: Phantom Lancer,
Chaos Knight,
Arc Warden
Clockwerk
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 7%)Naga Siren
* Heroes with long cast animations can be continuously interrupted by Battery Assault: Centaur Warrunner,
Jakiro,
Leshrac,
Naga Siren,
Underlord.
Chaos Knight
* Single-target disablers will have difficulty locking down a Chaos Knight with Phantasm active: Bane,
Beastmaster,
Bloodseeker,
Clockwerk,
Doom,
Shadow Shaman.
Winter Wyvern
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 5%)Chaos Knight
* Cold Embrace protects targets of Reality Rift.
* Winter's Curse turns Phantasm illusions against Chaos Knight or a teammate.
* Splinter Blast deals decent area damage to Phantasm illusions.
* Arctic Burn's percentage-based damage quickly wears down Chaos Knight's health.
Additional:
* Winter Wyvern can make Chaos Knight's illusions attack the real one, provided the player knows who it is.
* Alternatively, Winter's Curse can make Chaos Knight and all his illusions attack one of his allies.
* Cold Embrace protects ally who is focused by Chaos Knight.
* Splinter Blast deals decent area damage to Chaos Knight's illusions.
Naga Siren
* Song of the Siren can be used to nullify the effects of Winter's Curse, and when upgraded with Aghanim's Scepter it also outmatches the heal of Cold Embrace.
* If Winter Wyvern is reckless enough to put an ally in Cold Embrace, Naga Siren will be able to use her Ensnare to extend the disable on the hero affected by Cold Embrace.
Abaddon
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 3%)Chaos Knight
* Abaddon could punish Chaos Knight for using Phantasm and Reality Rift combo on him with his Aphotic Shield. Additionally, it provides extra protection against Chaos Knight's potential to take Abaddon down quickly.
* Furthermore, Abaddon's Borrowed Time makes it utterly impossible to burst Abaddon down.
Naga Siren
* Song of the Siren completely wastes Abaddon
Borrowed Time while keeping him in place.
* Naga Siren is able to simply dispel Abaddon's Curse of Avernus with
Mirror Image before getting hit 4 times consecutively.
* Although Naga Siren's illusions can be easily destroyed by Aphotic Shield, Naga Siren can resolve that issue easily by purchasing
Heart of Tarrasque to drastically increase her tankiness. Plus, the said item makes Naga Siren harder to be distinguished from her illusions.
To start select enemy heroes in the field above. It's intended to be used with multiple heroes. The more enemy heroes you provide the better results you will get.
About
This website was made to help you in pick stage of online game Dota 2. It calculates rating for each possible counterpicks based on tips from web-based database made up entirely of user contributions Dota 2 wiki.
You will get the list of recommended hero counters with a list of tips written by Dota 2 wiki contributors explaining why it's good against the particular hero. In comparison to other similar websites, which show only rating based on average hero winrate from dotabuff or similar service.
How to interpret this data
Take it with a bit of grain of salt, especially if the recommendation has a low rating (<= 1), some heroes
may win a lane in an early game but would lose in late game (and vice versa). That's why sometimes
you could hero names appearing as a counter and as being countered, as on image:
You can also add your own tips, update old data and fix mistakes by editing page on Dota 2 Wiki (it works like Wikipedia - anyone can contribute, you don't even need to register) these edits will appear on this website automatically (data is updated several times per week).
Right now there is no app/overlay that will detect picks automatically (like overwolf dota plus or become the gamer), instead, you can open web version in a steam in-game browser or use mobile version on your smartphone.

Naga Siren
* Her illusions are easily dealt with area damage effects.
* Naga Siren won't have much option to recover from a bad position unless she built up a few key items in mid-game.
Chaos Knight
* The area of effect damage from Midnight Pulse and Black Hole help deal with
Chaos Knight's illusions.
Black Hole usually catches Chaos Knight with all his illusions.
Midnight Pulse deals damage based on max health, quickly killing Phantasm illusions.
