Zeus
[wiki] rating: 2.0 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 8%)Pugna
[wiki] rating: 1.6 (winrate: 53% pickrate: 4%)Enchantress
* Amazingly, Enchantress has even lower health than Pugna. Though she does pack quite a punch through Impetus, she can't use it if she is under Decrepify.
* Pugna's Magical DPS is way greater than the heal from Nature's Attendants, which will also harm her quite a bit if she's next to Nether Ward.
Naga Siren
* Since Life drain takes out illusions instantly, Pugna with a scepter is decent versus plenty of illusion heroes, most notably Naga Siren and
Terrorblade and the aforementioned
Chaos Knight.
Phantom Lancer is an exception.
Windranger
[wiki] rating: 1.6 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 16%)Enchantress
* Windrun's speed allows easy pursuit or escape, while the evasion greatly reduces the threat of Enchantress' Impetus, especially when retreating.
* Shackleshot is a powerful disable if Enchantress gets too close to one of her own minions.
Naga Siren
* As long as Windranger is able to identify the real hero among the illusions, heroes relying on them can be easily tagged with Focus Fire: Chaos Knight,
Terrorblade,
Phantom Lancer,
Naga Siren.
Lion
[wiki] rating: 1.6 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 17%)Enchantress
* Heroes with nukes: Bane,
Lich,
Lion,
Skywrath Mage
Additional:
* Enchantress is very fragile without any form of magic resistance, allowing Lion to easily burst her down.
* Nature's Attendants is a slow heal, making it ineffective against Lion's burst.
* Enchantress lacks any escape mechanism apart from her raw movement speed, allowing Lion to disable her.
* Since Lion's damage comes mostly from his skills, Untouchable does nothing to mitigate it.
Naga Siren
* Both Hex and
Mana Drain destroy 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).
Snapfire
[wiki] rating: 1.6 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 5%)Enchantress
* Heroes with nukes that can jump her: Clockwerk,
Snapfire,
Spirit Breaker
Naga Siren
* Mortimer Kisses can make quick work of Naga Siren's illusions.
* Scatterblast and
Firesnap Cookie's AoE damage are also decent ways to deal with Naga's illusions.
Timbersaw
[wiki] rating: 1.4 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 8%)Enchantress
* The burst damage from Timbersaw's abilities is more than enough to deal with Enchantress and her creeps.
* Timbersaw doesn't rely on his physical attacks, which makes Untouchable useless against him.
* Timber Chain can close the gap between them and minimize damage from Impetus.
* Be aware, however, that Timber Chain could work against him if used to escape.
* However, Impetus can ignore Reactive Armor if Enchantress is not a primary target for Timbersaw or if he is disabled.
Naga Siren
* Timbersaw's innate durability is very hard to deal with as Naga Siren as she relies on sustained damage rather than burst damage. Timbersaw's high Pure Damage and low-cooldown AoE nukes can also destroy Naga Siren's illusions very fast.
Enchantress
* Timbersaw has a difficult time against magical and pure damage: Lina,
Leshrac,
Enchantress,
Queen of Pain
Clockwerk
[wiki] rating: 1.2 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 7%)Enchantress
* Heroes with nukes that can jump her: Clockwerk,
Snapfire,
Spirit Breaker
Naga Siren
* Heroes with long cast animations can be continuously interrupted by Battery Assault: Centaur Warrunner,
Jakiro,
Leshrac,
Naga Siren,
Underlord.
Dark Seer
[wiki] rating: 1.2 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 3%)Naga Siren
* Heroes that rely on illusions will suffer against Ion Shell, which kills them very quickly: Phantom Lancer,
Chaos Knight,
Naga Siren,
Meepo.
* Heroes that rely on illusions typically spawn very strong illusions inside your Wall of Replica that you should use against them or their team.
Enchantress
* Heroes with haste can negate Enchant's slow: Weaver,
Dark Seer,
Lycan,
Centaur Warrunner.
Sand King
[wiki] rating: 1.2 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 10%)Naga Siren
* Sand King and
Phoenix has many tools to deal with a crowd of Heroes, which will work well against a crowd of illusions.
Enchantress
* Sand King is a strong ganker, allowing him to shut down squishy heroes in the early game: Phantom Assassin,
Clinkz,
Sniper,
Enchantress,...
Centaur Warrunner
[wiki] rating: 1.2 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 3%)Naga Siren
* Heroes who are reliant on illusions: Chaos Knight,
Phantom Lancer,
Naga Siren.
Enchantress

Dark Seer,
Lycan,
Centaur Warrunner.
Enigma
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 55% pickrate: 8%)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.
Razor
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 54% pickrate: 6%)Enchantress
* Static Link 's damage instants fully ignore Untouchable, combine with
Eye of the storm and high movement speed compare to Enchantress with no mobility, Razor can easily take away her squishy health pool.
Nyx Assassin
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 54% pickrate: 7%)Enchantress
* Vendetta breaks Untouchable and deals great damage against her.
* Enchantress' lack of mobility makes her a primary target for ganking with Vendetta.
* Spiked Carapace can reflect Impetus and stun Enchantress.
* Mana Burn can deal tremendous damage against her due to being an Intelligence hero.
Additional:
* Spiked Carapace reflects the damage from Impetus.
* Enchantress is a rather squishy hero, making her fall easily to Nyx Assassin's high burst damage.
Broodmother
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 53% pickrate: 2%)Enchantress
* Enchantress is well known for taking control of various summons with her Enchant. However, Broodmother's summons are not a good target for that, because she can swarm up a bunch of her summons with Spawn Spiderlings and Enchantress has no good waveclear (Spawn Spiderlings can also kill creeps controlled with Enchant).
Additional:
* Enchantress' lack of AoE abilities allows Broodmother to swarm her with Spiderlings.
* Spawn Spiderlings can kill enchanted creeps.
Troll Warlord
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 12%)Enchantress
* Battle Trance and
Fervor can help cancel out Untouchable.
Additional:
* Untouchable's attack speed slow is easily remedied by Fervor stacks and Battle Trance.
* Troll Warlord is a natural Silver Edge carrier, disabling Enchantress' Untouchable.
Outworld Destroyer
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 13%)Naga Siren
* Sanity's Eclipse will likely instantly kill all illusions.
Leshrac
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 3%)Naga Siren
* All of Leshrac's abilities, especially Pulse Nova, can easily deal with Naga Siren's illusions.
Gyrocopter
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 5%)Naga Siren
* Flak Cannon and
Call Down can easily clear Naga Siren's illusions.
Venomancer
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 5%)Enchantress
* Untouchable won't mitigate Venomancer's magical damage, and Enchantress is vulnerable to magic damage.
* Both Venomous Gale and
Poison Nova lowers the amount of healing received by Enchantress and her allies from Nature's Attendants.
Earthshaker
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 12%)Naga Siren
* Mirror Image's illusions increase Echo Slam's damage.
Additional:
* Earthshaker's 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.
* Echo Slam deals more damage against more enemies, which can be devestating against Naga Siren and her illusions.
Riki
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 5%)Enchantress
* Riki usually buys Diffusal Blade to initiate, which renders Enchantress' movement speed useless, and is usually followed with
Smoke Screen.
* Riki can effectively hit Enchantress by Tricks of the Trade alongside with
Diffusal Blade and
Smoke Screen's initiation. For a hero like Enchantress, 3 to 4 hits from Riki is a big deal, unless Enchantress built
Force Staff earlier.
Axe
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 8%)Naga Siren
* Axe will destroy her illusions by proccing Counter Helix more often due to him being hit by more attacks.
Batrider
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 1%)Naga Siren
* Many stacks of Sticky Napalm, combined with Flamebreak and Firefly, allows Batrider to destroy illusions from Mirror Image.
* If Batrider can manage to destroy all illusions from Naga Siren, he will be able to use Flaming Lasso on the real one, and will be able to drag her toward his team, potentially preventing Naga Siren from escaping with Song of the Siren.
Additional:
* Many stacks of Sticky Napalm, combined with Flamebreak and Firefly, allows Batrider to destroy illusions from Mirror Image.
* If Batrider can manage to destroy all illusions from Naga Siren, he will be able to use Flaming Lasso on real one, and will be able to drag her toward his team, potentially preventing Naga Siren to escape with Song of the Siren.
Lina
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 9%)Enchantress
* Enchantress has pitiful health, and cannot tank Lina's heavy magic damage.
* Untouchable is decently countered by Fiery Soul, exposing Enchantress' weakness to physical damage due to her low armor.
* Lina is decent at clearing creeps and can kill Enchantress' creeps quickly.
Additional:
* Enchantress has a very small health pool and cannot tank Lina's heavy magic burst.
* Untouchable is decently countered by Fiery Soul, exposing Enchantress' weakness to physical damage due to her low armor.
* Lina is decent at clearing creeps and can kill Enchantress' creeps quickly.
Meepo
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 45% pickrate: 1%)Enchantress
* Meepo can quickly kill Enchantress with a
Poof combo, rendering Untouchable useless.
Naga Siren
* A good Meepo can 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 while escaping from him.
Enchantress
* Enchantress's
Untouchable slows down Meepos attacks and
Impetus can deal heavy pure damage to a single Meepo, however once Meepo has closed the gap she is an easy target for Poof.

Crystal Maiden, or
Enchantress.
Jakiro
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 9%)Naga Siren
* Jakiro's early pushing ability from Liquid Fire makes Jakiro very strong against heroes, that take a long time to get online: Morphling,
Naga Siren,
Spectre.
Skywrath Mage
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 6%)Enchantress
* Heroes with nukes: Bane,
Lich,
Lion,
Skywrath Mage
Additional:
* Untouchable is useless versus constant Arcane Bolts, and it doesn't help that her strength gain is the lowest in the game.
* A jungle Enchantress can weaken lanes and make Skywrath Mage's job easier.
* The magic amplification from Ancient Seal makes her even squishier to Skywrath and his allies' magic nukes.

Enchant, spell immunity and used to burst her down during the early laning stage.
* Omnislash and
Swiftslash's physical damage burst ignore
Untouchable.
* Silver Edge is an ideal item for Juggernaut to deal with
Untouchable, making her vulnerable to melee attacks.
Additional:
* Blade Fury dispels the slow from enchant, and can burst her down during the laning stage.
* Omnislash and
Swiftslash's physical damage burst ignore untouchable.
* Silver Edge is a common item for Juggernaut for dealing with Untouchable.

Chaos Knight,
Terrorblade,
Phantom Lancer.
Medusa
[wiki] rating: 0.4 (winrate: 45% pickrate: 2%)Enchantress
* Enchantress often has a small army of neutral creeps, allowing Medusa to hit her with a later bounce of her Mystic Snake.

Omniknight
[wiki] rating: -2.0 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 1%)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 Siren is one of the most natural Diffusal Blade carriers, the bane of every hero with a small mana pool.
Enchantress
* Impetus is not blocked by Guardian Angel. A {U:Satyr Banisher} can also be controlled to dispel
Guardian Angel.
Huskar
[wiki] rating: -2.0 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 3%)Enchantress
* Untouchable makes it near impossible to stack Burning Spears.
* Impetus' pure damage puts an instant end to Huskar's low-health brinkmanship.

Lone Druid
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 1%)Naga Siren
* Unless Lone Druid purchases a Black King Bar for his Spirit Bear, Ensnare will easily kite the Bear.
* Song of the Siren allows Naga Siren and her team to completely bypass the Spirit Bear and hunt for the Druid himself when starting a fight.
* Lone Druid's lack of innate AoE capabilities mean that Naga Siren's illusions have no problem against him.
Rubick
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 16%)Naga Siren
* Song of the Siren is very difficult for Rubick to Spell Steal when he is affected by sleep. However, if Rubick does successfully steal it, the Song will allow his team to initiate from unexpected angles.
* Ensnare and Rip Tide together with some attacks can take Rubick down quickly, due to his low health pool and armor.
* Naga Siren usually buys Diffusal Blade, which may prevent Rubick from using his abilities.
* Mirror Image allows Naga Siren to dodge the incoming stun from Telekinesis (when she is not a target), and it can also dispel
Fade Bolt's damage reduction debuff.
Dazzle
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 5%)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 in range of Dazzle's saving abilities.

Winter Wyvern
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 7%)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.

* Untouchable makes her heavily reduce Elder Titan's physical damage output on her without Spell Immunity.

Abaddon
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 5%)Naga Siren

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 durability. Plus, the said item makes Naga Siren harder to be distinguished from her illusions.
Night Stalker
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 5%)Naga Siren
* Mirror Image can be effective since Night Stalker cannot withstand fighting illusions. If he's unable to tell which Naga Siren is real, he will have a hard time landing his Void. However, if Night Stalker obtains an
Aghanim's Scepter, the upgraded Void will hit and may even locate the real Naga Siren in fights.
Additional:
* Ensnare and
Song of the Siren prevents Night Stalker from escaping and ganking during daytime or even nighttime.
* Rip Tide reduces Night Stalker's armor, making him easier to focus down.
* Mirror Image can be effective against Night Stalker, due to his single target abilities.

* Heroes with haste can negate Enchant's slow: Weaver,
Dark Seer,
Lycan,
Centaur Warrunner.

Necrophos
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 3%)Naga Siren

Naga Siren an edge against Necrophos.
Slardar
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 5%)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.
Templar Assassin
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 5%)Naga Siren
* 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.

* Multiple attackers thanks to summoned units or clones: Meepo,
Witch Doctor,
Lycan,
Enigma,
Shadow Shaman
* 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.

* Ensnare disables Templar Assassin's invisibility and Blink Dagger (a core item on Templar Assassin), and her illusions will break Refraction easily.
Wraith King
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 17%)Naga Siren
* Heroes with summons and illusions such as Broodmother and
Naga Siren, are ill-suited for Wraith King to fight, as he has no source of waveclear.
Chaos Knight
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 3%)Naga Siren
* Illusion-based and multi-unit heroes can take advantage of Chaos Knight's lack of area damage: Naga Siren,
Phantom Lancer,
Broodmother
Chen
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 0%)Enchantress
* Chen can use Holy Persuasion on creeps controlled by Enchant.
* Ironically, Enchantress can Enchant Chen's creeps.
Naga Siren
* Illusion and heroes with summons are difficult to kill with Chen's single-target offensive spells: Terrorblade,
Phantom Lancer,
Chaos Knight,
Broodmother,
Naga Siren,
Lycan,
Visage. However, Chen can convert enemy summons with Holy Persuasion, as long as they don't bunch up.
Additional:
* Naga Siren can make landing Chen's combo very hard due to her being an illusion hero.
* Ensnare will prevent Chen from activating Hand of God.
Enchantress
* Enchantress can turn Chen's own creeps against him with Enchant. The creeps still keep the health buff Holy Persuasion granted them.
* Untouchable and
Nature's Attendants make her difficult to kill.
Bounty Hunter
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 54% pickrate: 10%)Naga Siren
* Naga Siren with
Mirror Image
* Heroes that can remove the Track debuff with their skills:
* Abaddon with
Aphotic Shield and
Borrowed Time
* Huskar with
Life Break
* Juggernaut with
Blade Fury
* Legion Commander with
Press the Attack
* Lifestealer with
Rage and
Infest

* Slark with
Dark Pact
* Ursa with
Enrage
* Weaver with
Time Lapse
* Tidehunter with
Kraken Shell when damage received reaches the threshold.
Additional:
* Bounty Hunter is a single target damage dealer, so he will not fare well against Naga Siren. He may try to Track her, but her Mirror Image will dispel the effect. Ensnare also reveals invisible units while they're rooted, putting Bounty Hunter at a disadvantage.
Sven
[wiki] rating: -0.4 (winrate: 43% pickrate: 1%)Naga Siren
* Heroes who depends on illusions and summons: Naga Siren,
Terrorblade,
Arc Warden,
Broodmother.
Enchantress
* Against her Untouchable, Sven is barely able to hit Enchantress even with his Black King Bar.
Ember Spirit
[wiki] rating: -0.4 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 9%)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.
Enchantress
* Impetus will deal huge amounts of damage when he uses a Fire Remnant to escape.
* Flame Guard is useless against Impetus.
* Enchant dispels Flame guard.
Legion Commander
[wiki] rating: -0.4 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 11%)Naga Siren
* Heroes who rely on illusions will see them destroyed easily by Overwhelming Odds: Phantom Lancer,
Chaos Knight,
Terrorblade,
Naga Siren
Naga Siren
* Song of the Siren lasts long enough to prevent a successful Duel (but only if Naga wasn't the target).
Viper
[wiki] rating: -0.4 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 6%)Enchantress
* Heroes with break can disable Untouchable for a while: Doom and
Shadow Demon (via
Aghanim's Scepter),
Viper
Naga Siren
* Naga Siren can easily disjoint, and dispel Corrosive Skin with Mirror Image.
* Since Viper is a single-target hero, he will not stand a chance against Naga Siren because she is an illusion based hero.
* However, Nethertoxin can clear her illusions quickly if Naga Siren does not micromanage them well.
Crystal Maiden
[wiki] rating: -0.4 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 14%)Enchantress
* Heroes like Enchantress and
Chen, or heroes that make use of
Helm of the Dominator are weak to Crystal Maiden, as Frostbite can do wonders against
Enchant,
Holy Persuasion, or dominated creeps. Careful though, as an army of carefully controlled creeps (
Enchantress and
Chen) can hold many stuns that will cancel Freezing Field.
Additional:
* Frostbite does 1000 magical damage to Enchantress's creeps and roots them for 10 seconds, which hinders her ability to gank.
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.
Luna
[wiki] rating: -0.2 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 7%)Enchantress
* Enchantress has pitiful HP so Lucent Beam and Eclipse can kill her very quickly.
* Moon Glaives allows Luna to clear Enchantress' creeps very efficiently.
Additional:
* Enchantress has pitiful HP, even more pitiful than Luna, so Lucent Beam and
Eclipse will often harass and/or kill her through her Untouchable.
* With Moon Glaives, Luna can clear Enchantress's creep wave efficiently.
Naga Siren
* Heroes that create illusions (such as Spectre,
Shadow Demon,
Phantom Lancer,
Naga Siren,
Chaos Knight,
Terrorblade) or bring other units into the fight (such as
Nature's Prophet,
Lone Druid,
Chen,
Enchantress and the aforementioned
Meepo and
Arc Warden) can cause Eclipse to strike the illusions/summons unintentionally. (However, in many cases Moon Glaives can resolve this issue and eliminate them before activating Eclipse).
Enchantress
* Heroes that create illusions (such as Spectre,
Shadow Demon,
Phantom Lancer,
Naga Siren,
Chaos Knight,
Terrorblade) or bring other units into the fight (such as
Nature's Prophet,
Lone Druid,
Chen,
Enchantress and the aforementioned
Meepo and
Arc Warden) can cause Eclipse to strike the illusions/summons unintentionally. (However, in many cases Moon Glaives can resolve this issue and eliminate them before activating Eclipse).
Pangolier
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 12%)Naga Siren
* Heroes who are illusion based, or even heroes who frequently build Manta Style can be cleared quickly by Pangolier's high damage, or lose their damage ouput because of Lucky Shot: Chaos Knight,
Naga Siren
Naga Siren
* Heroes with powerful rooting abilities will disable most of Pangolier's skill, a bonus point if it pierce spell immunity since it will also be able to stop Pangolier during his Rolling Thunder: Treant Protector,
Meepo,
Crystal Maiden,
Dark Willow,
Underlord,
Naga Siren
Mirana
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 16%)Enchantress
* Mirana can instantly kill creeps with Sacred Arrow, making her decent at crippling the armies of Chen or
Enchantress.
Enchantress
* Heroes that have an escape that doesn't disjoint projectiles: Mirana,
Faceless Void,
Magnus
Arc Warden
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 54% pickrate: 4%)Enchantress
* Magnetic Field makes Impetus miss; if Enchantress decides to enter the field, she is giving up bonus damage since Impetus deals greater damage at higher distance away from targets.
Naga Siren
* Song of the Siren stops Arc Warden from acting and allows Naga Siren's team to close in on him, past his Magnetic Field.
* Mirror Image dispels Flux. The illusions created from it also disable the slow from Flux if Arc Warden casts it after Mirror Image.
* Arc Warden's playstyle heavily favors split-pushing, which Naga Siren can compete against with her illusions.
Additional:
* Her illusions can push better than Arc Warden's Tempest Double because Mirror Image has a longer duration.
* Mirror Image dispels Flux, and the illusions stop Flux from working.
Tinker
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 54% pickrate: 12%)Enchantress
* Any hero with a low HP pool is easy for Tinker to nuke down: Crystal Maiden,
Enchantress,
Gyrocopter,
Lion,
Riki,
Techies,
Terrorblade,
Necrophos,
Invoker.
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.
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.

Arc Lightning is also a good way to destroy Naga Siren's illusions.
