Storm Spirit
[wiki] rating: 2.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 10%)Earth Spirit
[wiki] rating: 2.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 9%)Terrorblade
* Rolling Boulder and
Geomagnetic Grip prevent Terrorblade from using Sunder.
Enigma
* Black Hole is a channeling ability and Earth Spirit has at least two possibilities which can interrupt these kind of spells. Enigma is exposed and cannot move while using Black Hole, thus making it easy for Earth Spirit to stop the feared ability with the huge range of Rolling Boulder and forcing Enigma to quickly rush a
Black King Bar to prevent this.
* Enigma is level dependant, squishy and relativly defenseless in the early game and therefore vulnerable to aggressive roam maneuvers in this stage of the game. Earth Spirit excels at ganking, shutting down a jungling or otherwise solo farming Enigma.
Abaddon
[wiki] rating: 1.6 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 3%)Terrorblade
* Heroes who can negate effects of Sunder: Abaddon,
Faceless Void,
Weaver.
Enigma
* Borrowed Time can give Abaddon a second chance after a Black Hole combo.
* Aphotic Shield can be used to save allies from a potential onslaught and dispel most negative debuffs.
* Abaddon can easily heal himself as well as his allies during a team fight.
Puck
[wiki] rating: 1.6 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 15%)Terrorblade
* All of Puck's damaging spells deal AoE magic damage, which focuses on Terrorblade's low health pool and ignores his armor.
* Puck's spells are also great at quickly clearing all of Terrorblade's illusions. Even a single Illusory Orb is enough to drop their health very low, allowing creeps, towers or allies to finish them off very quickly. Waning Rift and Illusory Orb together are usually enough to clear his illusions.
* Waning Rift prevents Terrorblade from casting Sunder at low health.
* Puck is a common Dagon carrier, so he is able to finish of Terrorblade before he has a chance to
Sunder.
Enigma
* Mass summoning heroes: Broodmother,
Nature's Prophet and
Enigma are all able to mass-summon units, which Puck is able to clear with Illusory Orb and Waning Rift instantly, due to their summons having low health.
Winter Wyvern
[wiki] rating: 1.6 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 5%)Enigma
* Winter's Curse, when directly targeted on Enigma, can go through
Avatar, stopping Enigma's Black Hole channeling. It can also can turn his team against him, potentially killing him.
* Splinter Blast can be targeted on an eidolon, killing off other eidolons and damaging nearby heroes as well.
Terrorblade
* Terrorblade and his illusions deal huge damage, which might used against him and his team with Winter's Curse.
Pugna
[wiki] rating: 1.6 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 4%)Enigma
* Enigma's abilities have a huge mana cost, meaning that Nether Ward will deal a lot of damage to Enigma.
* Channeling Black Hole will render Enigma immobile, making him easy target for all of Pugna's abilities, especially Nether Blast, and
Life Drain.
Terrorblade
* 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.
Zeus
[wiki] rating: 1.6 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 11%)Terrorblade
* Heroes with mediocre health pools who rely on armor or evasion to survive fights such as Troll Warlord,
Windranger, and
Terrorblade can be killed by Zeus if caught off guard.
Additional:
* Arc Lightning and
Lightning Bolt can easily burst Terrorblade and his illusions.
* Static Field automatically hits everything in a big radius, taking a huge chunk of health out of Terrorblade's illusions, regardless of how much health they have.
Enigma
* Zeus can break Blink Dagger with his long range abilities and global range ultimate,
Thundergod's Wrath.
* Lightning Bolt has a long range and a mini-stun, providing a way for him to cancel Black Hole from safe distances, assuming Enigma doesn't have his
Black King Bar.
* Zeus' Aghanim's Scepter upgraded ability
Nimbus has a global range and mini-stun, making it an even more effective way to cancel Black Hole before Enigma initiates with
Black King Bar.
* Zeus is typically able to position himself at a safe distance from the fight, making him a difficult target to capture in a Black Hole.
Earthshaker
[wiki] rating: 1.6 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 10%)Enigma
* Fissure does a great job at interrupting Black Hole immediately, especially with
Blink Dagger and
Aether Lens.
* Echo Slam's damage potential increases due to the eidolons created by Demonic Conversion.
Terrorblade
* Heroes with abilities that can lock down Terrorblade and prevent him from using Sunder: Earthshaker,
Faceless Void,
Legion Commander.
Grimstroke
[wiki] rating: 1.6 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 10%)Terrorblade
* Terrorblade's lack of escape mechanisms makes it hard for him to escape both Ink Swell and Stroke of Fate.
* Phantom's Embrace's silence will also prevent him from casting Sunder to save himself.
Enigma
* Heroes with powerful channeling abilities are easily interrupted by Phantom's Embrace: Bane,
Pudge,
Witch Doctor,
Crystal Maiden,
Enigma.
Keeper of the Light
[wiki] rating: 1.6 (winrate: 44% pickrate: 5%)Terrorblade
* Heroes that can stall pushes: Invoker,
Keeper of the Light,
Lina,
Luna.
Enigma
* Ezalor's Chakra Magic will drain Enigma's mana pool rather quickly and won't let him chase or initiate with Black Hole properly.
* Will-O-Wisp will disable any close caster like Enigma, forcing him have to keep his Eidolons at maximum count and keep a safe distance.
* Illuminate can wipe the pushing Eidolons in a lane with ease, diminishing Enigma's laning presence by a lot.
Lion
[wiki] rating: 1.2 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 16%)Enigma
* Lion's disables are also really effective against channeling Heroes, like Enigma or
Crystal Maiden.
Terrorblade
* 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.
* Mana Drain and Hex instantly kill any illusions. Finger of Death upgraded with Aghanim's Scepter also shreds most illusions.
* 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.
Lina
[wiki] rating: 1.2 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 13%)Terrorblade
* Heroes with low health or rely on evasion can easily be bursted down, like Phantom Assassin or
Terrorblade.
Additional:
* Laguna Blade is one of the best tools to kill Terrorblade before he can use Sunder due to its high magical (pure with
Aghanim's Scepter) burst damage.
* Dragon Slave allows Lina to clear Terrorblade's illusions from Conjure Image and
Manta Style.
Enigma
* Enigma is fragile, and lacks escapes, being dependent on Blink Dagger for mobility. Ganking Heroes or Heroes with burst damage will likely kill him before he can do anything. Such Heroes include:
Lina,
Lion,
Puck,
Slark,
Nyx Assassin, etc.
Razor
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 54% pickrate: 2%)Terrorblade
* Plasma Field can destroy Terrorblade's illusions or damage them heavily.
* Static Link decreases the bonus damage of Metamorphosis.
* Storm Surge also gives Razor high mobility, thus nullifying effects of Reflection.
* Eye of the Storm along with
Aghanim's Scepter can quickly reduce Terrorblade's armor.
* Even if Razor has no disables, he will often carry a Black King Bar, making Sunder and every other ability that Terrorblade has useless.
Shadow Shaman
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 15%)Terrorblade
* All of Shadow Shaman's abilities totally ruin Terrorblade: Ether Shock destroys his illusions, Hex prevents him from using Sunder or
Manta Style in bad situations, Shackles not only that prevent him from using
Sunder, but he has no way to cancel it and Mass Serpent Ward can help Shadow Shaman push faster than Terrorblade even in
Metamorphosis.
Additional:
* Ether Shock can destroy Terrorblade's illusions.
* Hex prevents Terrorblade from using Sunder or
Manta Style in bad situations.
Hex can also destroy one of his illusions.
* Shackles prevents Terrorblade from using his skills and items, whether to fight, survive, or dispel it in any way. In addition, Terrorblade has no solutions to cancel it.
Clinkz
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 5%)Enigma
* Despite Clinkz's fragility, his harassment in the early game can be devastating; as he can kite Enigma and his Eidolons and claim their bounty.
Dark Seer
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 3%)Terrorblade
* Dark Seer's Vacuum and
Ion Shell allows him to clear a wave of Terrorblade's illusions.
* Wall of Replica can create stronger illusions of Terrorblade.
* If Dark Seer can use Vacuum to help teammates land their AoE skills, Terrorblade will be quickly killed before he even gets a chance to use Sunder.
Additional:
* Dark Seer's Vacuum and
Ion Shell allows him to clear the wave of Terrorblade's illusions.
* Wall of Replica can create stronger illusions of Terrorblade.
* If Dark Seer can use Vacuum to help teammates land their AoE skills, Terrorblade will be quickly killed before he even gets a chance to use
Sunder.
Warlock
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 5%)Enigma
* Chaotic Offering's spell immunity piercing stun can stop Black Hole's channeling. Due to this ability's large area of effect, it can be cast at a safe distance from the Black Hole.
* Fatal Bonds can be used to make Enigma's Eidolons easier to kill, potentially feeding the enemy team.
* Warlock's Upheaval can interfere with Enigma's initiation and potential follow-ups thanks to its large AoE.
Additional:
* Chaotic Offering pierces spell immunity and is an area of effect ability, therefore it doesn't matter if Enigma buys
Black King Bar or
Linken's Sphere Warlock will always be able to cancel channeling of
Black Hole.
* Enemies often get clumped up around Black Hole giving Warlock a perfect opportunity to cast
Fatal Bonds and
Upheaval on multiple enemies.
Arc Warden
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 5%)Terrorblade
* Arc Warden’s Magnetic Field allows him to defend against Terrorblade if he used Metamorphosis.
* Arc also buys a Bloodthorn or a
Scythe of Vyse, which can prevent Terrorblade from using his abilities.
Bloodseeker
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 2%)Enigma
* Blood Rite can flush Enigma out of position and potentially force him to activate his spell immunity prematurely, before pulling off a Black Hole combo.
* Bloodseeker can find an Enigma out of position and Rupture him, making it difficult to initiate properly in a team fight, as it pierces through
Black King Bar
Void Spirit
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 10%)Terrorblade
* Void Spirit's high mobility becomes a nuisance to Terrorblade.
* Void Spirit's arsenal of magic damage is effective against Terrorblade's low strength.
* Terrorblade has no disables to prevent Void Spirit from escaping.
Outworld Destroyer
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 6%)Terrorblade
* Arcane Orb deals pure damage against the real Terrorblade, bypassing his high base armor.
* Arcane Orb and
Sanity's Eclipse will make very short work of Terrorblade and his illusions.
Elder Titan
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 1%)Terrorblade
* Terrorblade has a high base armor, and relies on many ultimate orb-based items (Manta Style and
Eye of Skadi). Natural Order affects armor gained from agility, essentially reducing armor to zero if all armor is gained from agility. That effect combined with Terrorblade's low health can make a Elder Titan with an early value point in Natural Order a dangerous foe.
* Terrorblade's illusions are often grouped up in teamfight, making them more vulnerable to Echo Stomp.
Additional:
* Echo Stomp and
Astral Spirit allow the enemy team to coordinate a kill on Terrorblade before he can Sunder.
* Natural Order cripples Terrorblade's armor that he crucially needs to survive due to his low strength gain.
Timbersaw
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 7%)Terrorblade
* Timbersaw can take down Terrorblade's illusions with his area damage burst.
* Reactive Armor plus another armor item reduce much of Terrorblade's damage.
Additional:
* Timbersaw's spell combos all deal magical and pure damage, completely ignoring Terrorblade's high base armor and clearing his illusions very quickly due to the AoE damage.
* Reactive Armor negates most of Terrorblade's damage against Timbersaw, and its high health regeneration and armor bonuses can help Timbersaw survive after being Sundered.
Skywrath Mage
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 6%)Terrorblade
* Arcane Bolt can target Terrorblade's low health pool in the laning phase.

[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 7%)Enigma
* Walrus PUNCH! can interrupt Black Hole and it can pierce spell immunity.
* In pretty much any phase of the game, Tusk's abilities can easily cancel Black Hole and disrupt Enigma's positioning.
Ursa
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 13%)Terrorblade

* Enrage's damage reduction helps Ursa survive after Terrorblade has used Sunder.
Luna
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 4%)Terrorblade
* Heroes that can stall pushes: Invoker,
Keeper of the Light,
Lina,
Luna.
Enigma
* Without Black King Bar and if not caught in it, Luna will be able to cancel Enigma's Black Hole from safe distance with her Lucent Beam.
* Moon Glaives combined with
Lunar Blessing can make a short work of Enigma's Eidolons.
* If used in anticipation, Eclipse will often kill Enigma before he even gets a chance to use Black Hole to disable Luna.

Terrorblade
* 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).
Silencer
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 8%)Enigma
* Silencer can easily ruin Enigma's initiation, as Global Silence cancels Black Hole, even through
Black King Bar and
Linken's Sphere.
Additional:
* Last Word can be cast from a long range to prevent Enigma's potential initiation.
* Global Silence can interrupt Enigma's Black Hole channeling through Black King Bar and Linken's Sphere.
Axe
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 10%)Terrorblade
* Terrorblade's low base health and lack of mobility make him an easy target for Axe to initiate on, and kill.
* Counter Helix will trigger from, and destroy many of Terrorblade illusions.
Additional:
* Berserker's Call and
Counter Helix together can be devastating to Terrorblade, especially if Terrorblade has a lot of illusions. Their high attack speed will trigger Counter Helix a lot, and the pure damage will quickly slice through Terrorblade's low health and kill his illusions.
* Culling Blade finishes off Terrorblade before he has the chance to Sunder due to his low health in the early to mid game.
Necrophos
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 4%)Terrorblade
* Reaper's Scythe can kill Terrorblade quickly before he has chance to use Sunder.
* Ghost Shroud protects Necrophos against Terrorblade's high attack damage.
Legion Commander
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 13%)Terrorblade

* Shallow Grave saves an ally whom Terrorblade has used Sunder on.
Gyrocopter
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 3%)Terrorblade
* Flak Cannon destroys Terrorblade's illusions very quickly.
Rubick
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 17%)Enigma
* Everything Enigma has is something Rubick will like:
* Malefice helps with interrupting channeling spells in case Telekinesis is off cooldown.
* Demonic Conversion helps with pushing or counter-pushing a lane.
* Midnight Pulse is great for blocking off areas or just doing steady damage in teamfights.
* Black Hole is one of the best spells for teamfights, and could easily turn a losing one around.
* Black Hole also requires channeling, making it an easy steal for Rubick because he usually stays back in a teamfight, making it hard to catch him with Black Hole.
* Telekinesis can break Enigma's Black Hole fairly easily.
* Fade Bolt counters early push strategy of Enigma's waves of Eidolons.
* Spell Steal pierces spell immunity, so Enigma can't prevent Rubick from stealing Black Hole by activating
Black King Bar.
Additional:
* Telekinesis has a longer range than the AoE of Black Hole for the purposes of cancelling it.
* All of Enigma's spells are useful to Spell Steal.
* Malefice is useful for interrupting channeling spells or long cast animations.
* Demonic Conversion can be used to push or counter-push a lane.
* Midnight Pulse is useful to block an area or for team fights.
* Black Hole is very easy to steal, as it is a channeled ability. It's also one of the best ultimate abilities for team fights, and it can easily turn the fight around for the enemy team.
Ember Spirit
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 9%)Terrorblade
* Ember Spirit can deal devastating damage to illusion heroes like Terrorblade with Sleight of Fist. Terrorblade also has no way of preventing Ember Spirit from getting Activate Fire Remnant off. Additionally, Ember Spirit's ability to fight from long range as well as his wide skill set won't give many opportunities for Terrorblade to get Sunder off.
Additional:
* Ember Spirit can deal devastating damage to Terrorblade and his illusions with Sleight of Fist.
* Terrorblade has no disable to lock down Ember Spirit and prevent him from escaping with Fire Remnant. In addition, he doesn't like purchasing disabling items, which are the only solutions to deal with Ember Spirit.

[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 55% pickrate: 2%)Terrorblade
* Broodmother's
Insatiable Hunger and
Troll Warlord's
Battle Trance can nullify Sunder.
Nyx Assassin
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 54% pickrate: 13%)Enigma
* Enigma is fragile, and lacks escapes, being dependent on Blink Dagger for mobility. Ganking Heroes or Heroes with burst damage will likely kill him before he can do anything. Such Heroes include:
Lina,
Lion,
Puck,
Slark,
Nyx Assassin, etc.
Additional:
* Enigma's uncontrollable damage from Malefice and
Midnight Pulse make him easy to stun with Spiked Carapace.
* Black Hole can be easily interrupted by Impale or Spiked Carapace.
Tidehunter
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 53% pickrate: 8%)Enigma
* Most summons and illusions can barely hurt Tidehunter at all, after their attacks get reduced by Anchor Smash and blocked by Kraken Shell: Nature's Prophet,
Enigma
* Also Ravage's large area of effect and damage can easily damage all those units at once, or just straight up clear them.
Bane
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 5%)Enigma

Chaos Knight,
Nature's Prophet,
Phantom Lancer,
Terrorblade
Additional:
* Nightmare can easily cleared by Terrorblade's spammable illusions.
* Almost all of Bane's damage revolves exclusively around single-target effects. Terrorblade can almost always get a Sunder off.
Sand King
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 10%)Terrorblade
* Because of his massive AoE damage, Sand King is very effective against illusion heroes: Chaos Knight,
Phantom Lancer,
Terrorblade,...
Mirana
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 16%)Enigma
* Heroes that cannot move in fights such as a Dueling
Legion Commander or anyone channeling a spell like
Bane,
Pudge, or
Enigma are easy Sacred Arrow targets.
Pangolier
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 8%)Terrorblade

Windranger,
Alchemist,
Dragon Knight,

Enigma
* Heroes who have summons, which can be quickly cleared by his powerful area of effect skill: Nature's Prophet,

Enigma,
Magnus,
Pudge,
Batrider,
Bane,
Winter Wyvern
Troll Warlord
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 10%)Terrorblade

Chaos Knight
Slark
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 13%)Enigma

Puck,
Slark,
Nyx Assassin, etc.

[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 7%)Enigma
* Heroes with strong channeling spells like Crystal Maiden's
Freezing Field,
Bane's
Fiend's Grip, and
Enigma's
Black Hole can easily be interrupted from a long range by Nether Swap, assuming they don't have a
Linken's Sphere.
Additional:
* Vengeful Spirit can interrupt Black Hole's channeling through Black King Bar by using Nether Swap from a safe distance.
* Vengeful Spirit's Level 25 Talent can make her Magic Missile pierce spell immunity, giving her another option to use in conjunction with
Nether Swap to cancel Enigma's Black Hole channeling through Black King Bar.

[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 3%)Terrorblade
* Heroes that can dominate his illusions or create their own illusions of him: Dark Seer,

Morphling,
Enchantress,
Shadow Demon.
Faceless Void
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 43% pickrate: 7%)Terrorblade
* Frail heroes who lack mobility can also be an easy target to lock down with Chronosphere, such as Drow Ranger,
Luna,
Sniper,
Terrorblade.
Drow Ranger
[wiki] rating: 0.4 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 8%)Terrorblade
* Marksmanship allows Drow Ranger to pierce Terrorblade's high natural base armor. Since Terrorblade doesn't like to buy armor items like
Assault Cuirass, that makes him very vulnerable to Drow.
Terrorblade
* Heroes with high base damage (Morphling,
Tiny,
Drow Ranger), heroes with mana burning abilities (
Anti-Mage), and
Diffusal Blade users (
Juggernaut or
Riki) will suffer from Reflection's illusions.
Tinker
[wiki] rating: 0.4 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 8%)Terrorblade
* Tinker can single-handedly stop Terrorblade's early-push and quickly clear his illusions with Laser (especially with Aghanim's Scepter) and March of Machines.
* Tinker has perfect tools to reveal Terrorblade from his illusions as well as to burst him down if he is low-health before he will be able Sunder.
Additional:
* An Aghanim's Scepter upgraded
Laser allows Tinker to blind Terrorblade and illusions.
* Tinker can also clear Terrorblade's illusions and stall his pushing attempts with March of the Machines .
Terrorblade
* 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.
Mars
[wiki] rating: 0.4 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 16%)Terrorblade
* Bulwark negates most of the physical damage from Terrorblade and his illusions.
* Mars' AoE abilities kill Terrorblade's illusions quickly.
Enigma
* Heroes with high magical or pure damage will bypass Bulwark: Timbersaw,
Dark Willow,
Enigma,
Invoker,
Pugna,
Skywrath Mage,
Tinker,
Zeus,
Oracle.
Morphling
[wiki] rating: 0.4 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 12%)Terrorblade
* Morphling common combo Ethereal Blade and
Adaptive Strike (Agility) can easily burst down Terroblade, bypassing his high armor.
* Morphling is likely to burst down Terrorblade due to his high armor, Attribute Shift.
Terrorblade
* Heroes with high base damage (Morphling,
Tiny,
Drow Ranger), heroes with mana burning abilities (
Anti-Mage), and
Diffusal Blade users (
Juggernaut or
Riki) will suffer from Reflection's illusions.
Medusa
[wiki] rating: 0.4 (winrate: 45% pickrate: 2%)Enigma
* Medusa's Split Shot can make quick work of Enigma's Eidolons and take advantage of their considerable bounty.
* If Medusa activates Stone Gaze at the start of a fight, it can make initiating — and landing an effective Black Hole exceedingly difficult.
* Mystic Snake can be potentially detrimental to Enigma's initiation. Getting hit by the latter high-damage bounces (from standing behind his Eidolons or his teammates) can hinder his mana pool, preventing him from executing a strong initiation.
Additional:
* Mana Shield makes Medusa harder to kill with Enigma's Black Hole and Pulse combo.
* Medusa's Split Shot can kill Demonic Conversion creeps easier and Mystic Snake bounces off from them.
* Stone Gaze makes it hard for Enigma to approach Medusa for a Black Hole.
Terrorblade
* 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.
Bristleback
[wiki] rating: 0.4 (winrate: 45% pickrate: 8%)Enigma
* Bristleback's tankiness can enable him to chase Enigma out of a teamfight, making it difficult to initiate with a Black Hole.
Terrorblade
* Terrorblade's
Sunder is not affected by the Bristleback damage reduction.
Doom
[wiki] rating: 0.4 (winrate: 44% pickrate: 3%)Enigma
* Doom pierces spell immunity and can prevent Enigma from casting any spells or using items until the duration of the spell depletes, as well as damaging him over time. This can however, be blocked by a Linken's Sphere.
* An Enigma with a Helm of the Dominator can potentially feed his dominated creeps to Doom's Devour, giving Doom the abilities and benefits instead.
Terrorblade
* Terrorblade can use
Sunder to save his allies who are Doomed.
Lifestealer
[wiki] rating: -2.0 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 5%)Enigma
* Lacking any stun and being heavily dependent on his physical attacks and spell immunity, Lifestealer has no way to stop Black Hole, assuming he does not initiate Enigma first with Abyssal Blade.
* Enigma's abilities, with exception of Malefice, can pierce spell immunity and deal pure damage (and percentage-based damage in Midnight Pulse's case), putting Lifestealer in potentially adverse situations.
Terrorblade
* Terrorblade's illusions and ranged attacks in Metamorphosis can burst down Lifestealer very quickly.
* Terrorblade has low health due to his low strength gain, which reduces Feast's lifesteal and damage.
* Terrorblade's high armor makes Lifestealer's Desolator useless.
* Because Lifestealer usually walks around with high HP in fights due to his lifesteal (and sometimes Armlet of Mordiggian), he is a great target for Terrorblade's
Sunder.
Additional:
* Reflection's illusion carries Feast as well, making it useful in fights.
* Feast cannot compensate for Terrorblade's incoming high damage, due to his low Strength gain.
* Open Wounds is a lot harder to land on the real Terrorblade if he has illusions around him.
* Lifestealer relies on right-clicks to deal damage, and Terrorblade's high armor can reduce his damage by quite a bit.
Shadow Fiend
[wiki] rating: -1.6 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 18%)Terrorblade
* The Reflection of Shadow Fiend cause Presence of the Dark Lord to affect Shadow Fiend, reducing his armor and making it easier for Terrorblade to kill him. Shadow Fiend also doesn't have lots of survivability or control skills in order to escape.
* If Shadow Fiend chooses to go for a right-click build, he'll have a hard time against Terrorblade's high armor.
Enigma
* Heroes with channeling spells because Shadow Fiend has nothing to cancel channeling: Bane,
Enigma,
Pudge,
Shadow Shaman.
Viper
[wiki] rating: -1.6 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 6%)Terrorblade
* Viper's damage over time and lack of disables makes him easy to Sunder.
* Viper's physical damage is mitigated by Terrorblade's high armor.
* Terrorblade under Metamorphosis can quickly kill Viper with heavy physical damage.
Additional:
* Almost all of Viper's damage revolves exclusively around single-target damage-over-time effects. Furthermore, without any hard disables, Terrorblade can almost always get a Sunder off.
* Viper has low mobility and Corrosive Skin doesn't protect against physical damage, which means that Terrorblade under Metamorphosis can quickly kill Viper.
Enigma
* Viper cannot interrupt heroes with powerful channeling abilities: Bane,
Enigma,
Shadow Shaman,
Warlock
Huskar
[wiki] rating: -1.6 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 2%)Enigma
* His ultimate will be a double edged sword for him if he ever dares to use it by risking max health based damage of Enigma.
* Enigma can mass ranged summons which he's rather helpless against.
Terrorblade
* Sunder can prevent Terrorblade's or an ally's death by swapping health, making damage-over-time spells inefficient. Heroes that rely on damage-over-time abilities like Venomancer and
Huskar will have a hard time against Sunder.
Phantom Assassin
[wiki] rating: -1.2 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 16%)Enigma
* Heroes with disables that ignore spell immunity will render Phantom Assassin quite useless in teamfights throughout the game: Enigma,
Vengeful Spirit,
Doom,
Bane,
Beastmaster,
Pudge.
Terrorblade
* Terrorblade is one of the strongest carries in the late game, due to his resilience against physical damage, which can be a problem for almost every strong burst physical damage carries, such as Phantom Assassin and
Templar Assassin.
Techies
[wiki] rating: -1.2 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 7%)Enigma
* Heroes with summons like Broodmother,
Enigma,
Invoker,
Nature's Prophet,
Lycan,
Visage;or illusions, like
Naga Siren,
Phantom Lancer,
Terrorblade are effective at keeping the choke points and rune spawns safe from Proximity mines in the early game.
Terrorblade
* Heroes with summons like Broodmother,
Enigma,
Invoker,
Nature's Prophet,
Lycan,
Visage;or illusions, like
Naga Siren,
Phantom Lancer,
Terrorblade are effective at keeping the choke points and rune spawns safe from Proximity mines in the early game.
Additional:
* Techies' mines can be destroyed by Terrorblade's spammable illusions.
* Terrorblade can push without the fear of dying to mines; he can instead use his illusions to push.
Templar Assassin
[wiki] rating: -1.2 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 5%)Enigma
* Multiple attackers thanks to summoned units or clones: Meepo,
Witch Doctor,
Lycan,
Enigma,
Shadow Shaman
* Heroes that can quickly deal damage to her, regardless of how weak they are, can easily break through her Refraction:
* 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.
* Weak damage but high tick rate or persist in a long time: Slark,
Gyrocopter,
Queen of Pain,
Shadow Shaman (
Shackles),
Pugna
Terrorblade
* Terrorblade is one of the strongest carries in the late game, due to his resilience against physical damage, which can be a problem for almost every strong burst physical damage carries, such as Phantom Assassin and
Templar Assassin.
Witch Doctor
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 13%)Terrorblade
* Witch Doctor's Maledict burst damage can be prevented by Sunder, if timed correctly.
* Death Ward deals physical damage, and Terrorblade's high armor can help him survive against Death Ward.
* However, be careful that Paralyzing Cask is commonly tricky to dodge as Terrorblade, due to his reliance of illusions, and
Maledict can kill Terrorblade if he has no target to be Sundered with, especially in the early game.
Omniknight
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 2%)Enigma
* Heroes under Guardian Angel can be still damaged from the pure damage of Black Hole and Midnight Pulse.
* Heavenly Grace will do nothing against Enigma except amplifying damage of the Midnight Pulse.
Crystal Maiden
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 14%)Enigma
* She will be not able to cast her ultimate while under Malefice's debuff.
* Enigma's Black Hole can cancel Freezing Field's channeling regardless of her Glimmer Cape and Black King Bar.
Spirit Breaker
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 8%)Enigma
* Malefice prevents Spirit Breaker from using his spells for the duration.
* Demonic Conversion's eidolons have high magic resistance, receiving little damage from Charge of Darkness.
Naga Siren
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 2%)Enigma
* 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.
Venomancer
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 5%)Terrorblade
* Reflection illusion will apply Poison Sting to you if hit.
* Conjure Image and
Metamorphosis will make quick work of your Plague Wards.
* While ticking down from your poison, Terrorblade can wait until the last possible moment to Sunder a target, either friend or foe.
Chaos Knight
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 4%)Enigma
* The area of effect damage from Midnight Pulse and Black Hole help deal with Chaos Knight's illusions.
Additional:
* Black Hole usually catches Chaos Knight with all his illusions.
* Midnight Pulse deals damage based on max health, quickly killing Phantasm illusions.
Ancient Apparition
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 9%)Terrorblade
* Sunder is not affected by Ice Blast and will still swap health with any target as usual.
Additional:
* Sunder allows Terrorblade (or an ally) to regain HP while affected by Ice Blast.
* Terrorblade often buys Manta Style which can dispel Cold Feet
Juggernaut
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 53% pickrate: 19%)Terrorblade
* Heroes, whose core item builds includes Monkey King Bar:
Faceless Void,
Windranger,
Weaver,
Juggernaut.
Enigma
* Enigma's Eidolons can help soak Juggernaut's Omnislash in the early game, mitigating the damage and wasting it on disposable summons. Should Juggernaut choose to kill your Eidelons with Blade Fury, he leaves himself open to your disables.
* Enigma's Black Hole and Midnight Pulse damage can pierce through Juggernaut's Blade Fury.
Terrorblade
* Illusion-based heroes are effective against Omnislash and Juggernaut's single-targeted damage: Naga Siren,
Chaos Knight,
Terrorblade,
Phantom Lancer.
Monkey King
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 53% pickrate: 18%)Enigma
* Malefice keeps Tree Dance on cooldown, and can interrupt Wukong's Command's long cast time.
* Midnight Pulse destroys a large amount of trees.
Additional:
* Malefice will cause Monkey King to struggle without Black King Bar, as its periodic damage and stun disables/interrupts abilities, such as Tree Dance and
Wukong's Command.
* Midnight Pulse also destroys trees in a wide radius, stunning Monkey King if he happened to be on a tree caught within that AoE.
Lycan
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 57% pickrate: 6%)Enigma
* Can cast Demonic Conversion on one of Lycan's Wolves, making this a numbers fight.
* Malefice will greatly reduce his ability to engage
* Midnight Pulse can steep an area making it harder for Lycan to engage in.
Tiny
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 45% pickrate: 7%)Terrorblade
* Heroes with high base damage (Morphling,
Tiny,
Drow Ranger), heroes with mana burning abilities (
Anti-Mage), and
Diffusal Blade users (
Juggernaut or
Riki) will suffer from Reflection's illusions.
Meepo
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 1%)Enigma
* Heroes with powerful area-of-effect disables can initiate on Meepo and his clones and shut him down, such as Enigma,
Invoker,
Magnus,
Puck, and
Sand King.
Chen
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 0%)Terrorblade
* 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.
Slardar
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 8%)Terrorblade
* Terrorblade starts out with and gains a lot of armor from his agility growth. His illusions also make it difficult for Slardar to focus down the real Terrorblade.
Treant Protector
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 6%)Enigma
* Heroes with the capability of removing or destroying trees greatly hinders the effectiveness of Treant Protector's abilities: Batrider,
Nature's Prophet,
Lina,
Enigma,
Mars
Night Stalker
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 53% pickrate: 5%)Terrorblade
* Heroes with illusions and summons can manfight Night Stalker: Terrorblade,
Beastmaster,
Broodmother.
Sven
[wiki] rating: -0.4 (winrate: 42% pickrate: 1%)Terrorblade
* Heroes who depends on illusions and summons: Naga Siren,
Terrorblade,
Arc Warden,
Broodmother.
Additional:
* Great Cleave with
God's Strength clears Terrorblade's illusions quickly.
* Storm Hammer's AoE stuns Terrorblade and his illusions.
Terrorblade
* Sunder will make Sven a very easy kill if he gets it of on him.
* Terrorblade likes to go late game with his high attack damage, range and agility items.
Pudge
[wiki] rating: -0.4 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 21%)Enigma
* Heroes who build a Black King Bar (or having any sources of spell immunity) to channel abilities/items are still interrupted by Dismember: Enigma,
Juggernaut,
Pugna,
Elder Titan.
Additional:
* Pudge can Meat Hook Enigma out of his Black Hole channeling and cancel it through Black King Bar when followed up with
Dismember.
* Enigma is prone to ganks in the jungle or in the off-lane without proper vision. Pudge can take advantage of Enigma lack of mobility, assuming Enigma is not blocked by his Eidolons.
* Stacked magic resistance from his passive Flesh Heap ability can mitigate Midnight Pulse's damage.
Terrorblade
* Pudge has low armor and low mobility, making him a prime target for Terrorblade's right-clicks.
* Meat Hook is a lot harder to land on the real Terrorblade if he has illusions around him.
* Because Dismember targets only one hero, Terrorblade's illusions can potentially save the real Terrorblade if he's caught in it.
Magnus
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 45% pickrate: 6%)Enigma
* Heroes who rely on illusions and spawns (Chaos Knight,
Beastmaster,
Nature's Prophet,
Enigma etc.).
Enigma
* Any hero who can counter-initiate in anticipation without getting caught in Reverse Polarity: Sven,
Omniknight,
Enigma,
Luna,
Naga Siren,
Mars,
Jakiro,
Venomancer,
Elder Titan,
Faceless Void,
Rubick,
Keeper of the Light,
Pugna,
Invoker,
Spectre,
Alchemist,
Treant Protector,
Lina,
Oracle,
Zeus,
Shadow Shaman,
Phoenix,
Razor,
Huskar,
Batrider,
Kunkka,
Tidehunter,
Wraith King,
Sand King.
Spectre
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 6%)Enigma
* Haunt can ruin Enigma's initiation with Blink Dagger, no matter where he is on the map.
* Dispersion reflects the damage of Midnight Pulse and Black Hole inflicted back to Enigma.
Terrorblade
* If Terrorblade's health gets low enough, Terrorblade's Sunder can be used to completely deplete Spectre's health pool without any consequences from Dispersion.
* Terrorblade is one of the few late game heroes that can stand toe to toe and man fight Spectre. Not all is lost if the game goes late when Terrorblade is on your team against Spectre.
Sniper
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 5%)Enigma
* Sniper has a very long range, so it is rare that Enigma can catch him in a Black Hole.
* Assassinate can easily cancel Black Hole if he is not caught, especially with the level 20 talent.
* Enigma's Eidolons from Demonic Conversion are useless to push against a Sniper as he will easily kill them, especially with
Maelstrom/
Mjollnir.
Additional:
* Take Aim extends Sniper's attack range, allowing him to position himself safely behind his team, making it difficult to catch him in Enigma's relatively small Black Hole AoE. When left unattended, he can quickly kill a channeling Enigma (often from the high ground) to rout an otherwise strong initiation, assuming Enigma does not have Aeon Disk.
Terrorblade
* Sunder can save himself or his allies from Assassinate.
* Sniper relies on right-clicks to deal damage, and Terrorblade's high armor can reduce his damage by quite a bit.
* Terrorblade is a far harder carry than Sniper is, so a well-farmed Terrorblade can easily defeat a Sniper.
Anti-Mage
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 14%)Enigma
* Enigma's Midnight Pulse damage can be substantially mitigated by Anti-Mage's high magic resistance thanks to Counterspell.
* In the early game, Anti-Mage's Mana Void can cancel a Black Hole until Enigma gets his Black King Bar.
* Should Anti-Mage survive a Black Hole combo, Enigma will have exhausted most of his skills and items, preventing him from defending himself against any counter initiation or a follow-up from a blink escape.
Terrorblade
* Terrorblade with Manta Style and
Conjure Image illusions overwhelms Anti Mage.
* Reflection turns Mana Break against Anti-Mage draining his mana making it useful in fights.
* Terrorblade's low mana pool makes him a poor target for Mana Void.
Additional:
* Reflection's illusion carries Mana Break as well, making it useful in fights.
Undying
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 7%)Enigma
* Enigma's left level 25 talent (increasing the Eidolon count from three to eleven) powers up Undying's
Soul Rip.
Terrorblade
* Terrorblade can destroy Tombstone with his
Conjure Image and
Metamorphosis.
Clockwerk
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 7%)Enigma
* Black Hole requires channelling, making it easy to be interrupted with Hookshot.
* Enigma lacks mobility without a Blink Dagger and also is squishy, making him fall easily when ganked by Clockwerk.
Additional:
* Hookshot's stun pierces through spell immunity and Enigma's channeling can be easily cancelled from a safe distance, assuming none of his allies are in the way.
* Enigma lacks mobility without Blink Dagger or Force Staff. Clockwerk can stay atop Enigma using Battery Assault and isolate him with
Power Cogs, and potentially track him down with
Rocket Flare.
Terrorblade
* Conjure Image and
Reflection illusions may give Clockwerk a hard time to find an angle for Hookshot.
* A trapped Terrorblade can turn the tables with Sunder, leaving Clockwerk nowhere to run.
Visage
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 2%)Enigma
* Stone Form can easily interrupt heroes with long channeling spells, like Crystal Maiden,
Bane,
Witch Doctor, or
Enigma.
Terrorblade
* Heroes that can overwhelm Visage by sheer number like Chaos Knight,
Meepo,
Terrorblade and
Phantom Lancer.
Wraith King
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 53% pickrate: 20%)Enigma
* Like Abbadon's Borrowed Time, Reincarnation can bring Wraith King back to life, giving him a second chance to counter initiate or escape after a Black Hole combo.
* Enigma's Eidolons adds to Wraith King's Mortal Strike, increasing his Skeleton charges.
Terrorblade
* Wraith King has no form of AoE to clear Terrorblade's illusions.
* Terrorblade is a common Manta Style and
Diffusal Blade carrier.
* Terrorblade has very high armor, which helps against Wraith King's physical-only damage.
* A reincarnated Wraith King is an ideal target for Sunder if Terrorblade's health is low.
Riki
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 53% pickrate: 12%)Enigma
* Frail heroes who lacks mobility: Crystal Maiden,
Enigma,
Dark Willow,
Vengeful Spirit.
Additional:
* Riki can potentially catch an Enigma out of position and prevent him from properly blinking and initiating, thanks to Cloak and Dagger used in tandem with Smoke Screen.
Terrorblade
* Heroes with high base damage (Morphling,
Tiny,
Drow Ranger), heroes with mana burning abilities (
Anti-Mage), and
Diffusal Blade users (
Juggernaut or
Riki) will suffer from Reflection's 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.

Sunder and kill a careless Storm Spirit.
Ball Lightning can either use to initiates Terroblade from distance or kite Terroblade from using Sunder as he has no source of disable to deal with Storm Spirit.
* Terrorblade gains a lot of agility and gains very low strength, which makes it easy to burst him down with Storm's magical damage.
* All of Terrorblade's abilities are easily avoided by Storm Spirit as he can simply use Ball Lightning, wasting the duration of

Enigma
* Using
Ball Lightning with proper timing, Storm Spirit can protect himself from Malefice's instances, disjoint Demonic Conversion's attack projectiles, get out of Midnight Pulse's radius or even dodge a Black Hole.
* An isolated Enigma in the early game can be easily killed by Storm Spirit thanks his higher mobility and dueling potential. However, Storm Spirit can be killed when caught by Enigma's full combo, especially if Enigma has Black King Bar.
* Storm can kill all of Enigma's Eidolons relatively quickly without much risk, slowing down Enigma's farming speed, preventing him from split pushing, and giving Storm its considerable bounty, especially if Enigma chooses the Level 25 Talent that gives him more Eidelons.
