Visage
[wiki] rating: 1.6 (winrate: 56% pickrate: 5%)Anti-Mage
[wiki] rating: 1.6 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 8%)Oracle
* Anti-Mage can withstand magical burst damage much better than other carries, making him effective against nukers: 
Lich, 
Necrophos, 
Oracle, and 
Leshrac.
Additional:
* Oracle has minimal damage potential against Anti-Mage due to 
Counterspell, and may even have some ability damage reflected at himself.
* Anti-Mage can easily overwhelm Oracle with 
Mana Break and 
Mana Void.
* 
Blink allows Anti-Mage to easily chase and take advantage of Oracle's low mobility.
Spectre
* Spectre cannot chase down Anti-Mage with 
Spectral Dagger because of Blink, though it still grants her team vision over him.
* Counterspell reduces much of the damage from 
Dispersion and Spectre's 
Radiance.
* Anti-Mage usually builds a 
Manta Style, preventing Spectre from dealing any 
Desolate damage to him once he summons his illusions.
Additional:
* Spectre has no way to prevent Blink, for escape or initiation. Anti-Mage can easily pick off enemy supports and Spectre cannot do anything about it.
* Mana Break burns through Spectre's low mana pool.
* Manta Style's illusions prevent Desolate's damage.
* Even though Anti-Mage is outcarried by Spectre in the later stages of the game, a competent Anti-Mage with a 
Battle Fury can easily outfarm and get ahead of Spectre before she can come online.
Phantom Lancer
[wiki] rating: 1.6 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 4%)Spectre
* Phantom Lancer has higher mobility and the ability to reset any fights with 
Doppelganger can be a nuisance for spectre to fight against.
* Phantom Lancer is a natural carrier of 
Diffusal Blade and Manta Style, which is outright nullify Desolate. In fact, Phantom Lancer will always have illusions with him at anytime, thus further exacerbated the problem.
* Although Spectre is largely AoE oriented, unfortunately, they are damage-over-time (DoT) rather than burst AoE damage. Without any effective ways to quickly destroy illusion and reveal the real hero, Spectre has little availability to manfight Phantom Lancer at any points in the game.
* Spectre often relies on Spectral Dagger as a pseudo-mobility skill. With her low mana pool and complete dependence on it to catch enemy team, she will soon find herself unable to do anything significant once her mana pool is completely drained.
* Doppelganger can be used to dispel the slow from Spectral Dagger, thus completely render it useless.
Oracle
* Heroes who are not easily crippled by Fate's Edict or Fortune's End, such as 
Timbersaw, or those who can dispel them, such as 
Phantom Lancer, can kill Oracle unhindered.
Shadow Demon
[wiki] rating: 1.4 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 2%)Oracle
* 
Disruption can protect Shadow Demon's allies from Fortune's End, preserving healing or buffs. It can also catch Oracle's allies, allowing 
Shadow Poison to be used without being dispelled.
* 
Demonic Purge prevents over-time healing during False Promise, such as Purifying Flames and 
Urn of Shadows. If he has 
Aghanim's Scepter, this issue can persist for longer or on multiple allies.
* It will not, however, prevent healing from instant abilities, items, or auras, making 
Mekansm a good choice against him.
Spectre
* Her illusions with Desolate are very valuable, especially when they are usually paired with Radiance. Unlike blink or force movement, Spectral Dagger's escaping mechanic requires manual movement, and therefore Demonic Purge can hold her back really hard and allow your allies to finish her off.
* If she tries to kill you or any key ally with 
Haunt at any point of the game, remember to not panic and always use Disruption on the illusion, whether it is fake or the real Spectre herself. When the situation calls, Demonic Purge can save a second victim from a haunting Spectre.
* When upgraded by Aghanim's Scepter, Demonic Purge can remove Spectre from a fight by disabling Desolate and Dispersion, negating her damage and tankiness respectively.
Oracle
* Heroes who can dispel will be able to remove remove Soul Catcher's debuff to instantly bring the health of affected heroes back to a considerable amount: 
Abaddon, 
Slark, 
Legion Commander, Oracle.
Night Stalker
[wiki] rating: 1.2 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 6%)Oracle
* Heroes with long disables, like 
Lion, 
Night Stalker, or Legion Commander, can prevent Oracle from using spells or items.
Spectre
* Heroes that have a weak laning stage: 
Spectre, 
Nyx Assassin, 
Clockwerk, 
Spirit Breaker, 
Omniknight, 
Pudge.
Lycan
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 55% pickrate: 2%)Spectre
* The movement speed granted from 
Shapeshift means that Spectre has no way to punish Lycan if he wants to splitpush or pick off supports. Furthermore, he will kite Haunt and cannot be slowed by Spectral Dagger.
* Lycan is often part of an early game push strategy which is often the best counter to Spectre because she needs a lot of time and space to come online as a late game carry.
Undying
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 11%)Spectre
* Spectre must chase for kills and relies on movement speed for mobility in fights, and has no way to counter the 
Tombstone zombies.
* The potency of 
Soul Rip can be increased from nearby illusions from Haunt.
* 
Decay will shut down Spectre during the laning phase by effectively cutting down her initial health pool.
Additional:
* Spectre must chase for kills and relies on movement speed for mobility in fights, and has no way to counter the Tombstone zombies.
* The potency of Soul Rip can be increased from nearby illusions, so Undying can use Haunt against Spectre.
* Early game Decay will make Spectre easy to shut down in lane.
Meepo
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 1%)Spectre
* 
Poof combined with 
Earthbind can be used to easily lockdown and burst Spectre down.
* As Meepo's playstyle is often to come online early to mid game and take over the whole game, Meepo will often be much further ahead of Spectre in farming.
* Meepo's global map presence allows him to effectively hunt for Spectre and disrupt her farm.
* Spectre has no strong AOE abilities or way to control or lock down Meepo.
Dawnbreaker
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 11%)Spectre
* Spectre has no innate disables or silence to stop any of Dawnbreaker's abilities
* Solar Guardian allows Dawnbreaker to quickly stand next to one of her allies, denying Spectre any of Desolate's bonus
* Luminosity outheals the damage dealt by Dispersion
Additional:
* Spectre has no innate disables or silence to stop any of Dawnbreaker's abilities
* Solar Guardian allows Dawnbreaker to quickly stand next to one of her allies, denying Spectre any of Desolate's bonus
* Luminosity outheals the damage dealt by Dispersion
Lifestealer
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 9%)Spectre
* 
Feast deals damage and heals lifestealer based on the target max health. Because Spectre often emphasises on building stat items to increase her HP pool, lifestealer can deal a lot of damage to her and heal himself at the same time.
* 
Ghoul Frenzy slows target, which is bad for Spectre if she does not have Spectral Dagger ready.
* Spectre cannot response to infest if lifestealer choose to stay inside his high mobility allies to approach the backline. 
Rage's bonus movement speed and spell immunity make it even more frustrating.
Pudge
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 28%)Spectre
* Pudge's Dismember stops Spectre from escaping with Haunt.
* He can easily tank the damage reflected by Dispersion due to his high strength and the healing from Dismember.
* Should Spectre try to get away through the trees or over a cliff with Spectral Dagger, Pudge can hook her back.
* Spectre takes a long time to become powerful, and Pudge can ruin her early game with ganks.
Winter Wyvern
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 6%)Spectre
* 
Arctic Burn makes it nearly impossible for Spectre to juke into the trees.
* 
Cold Embrace negates all of Spectre's physical damage. Furthermore, Cold Embrace will generally outheal Desolate.
* 
Winter's Curse can taunt illusions, not only wasting the entire duration of Haunt but also turning its illusions against Spectre's own team.
Axe
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 10%)Oracle
* False Promise will not save an ally from 
Culling Blade if their health is low enough.
* Fate's Edict, offensively or defensively, does little to protect Oracle's allies from the majority of Axe's damage.
Doom
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 6%)Oracle
* Supports with useful teamfight or contribution spells will be helpless against Doom: 
Dazzle, Oracle, 
Warlock.
Spectre
* 
Infernal Blade's damage is calculated by percentage of maximum health, meaning that it will hurt Spectre more than most normal attacks, negating some of her tankiness.
* Doom can pick up several different abilities from neutral creeps using 
Devour, some of which can be annoying to Spectre.
* Mud Golem, Dark Troll Summoner, Harpy Stormcrafter, Satyr Mindstealer or Satyr Tormenter are good examples.
* 
Doom makes Spectre less disruptive. Combined with Aghanim's Scepter, it will disable Spectre passive skills, reducing her potential in teamfights.
Additional:
* Infernal Blade's damage is calculated by percentage of max health. Since Spectre is usually tanky, it will hurt her more than most normal attacks.
* Doom can entirely disable Spectre from a teamfight. If upgraded with Aghanim's Scepter, it will disable her passive skills which is she relies on, crippling her.
Oracle
* Heroes with the ability to heal allies, or those with good defensive abilities: 
Chen, Dazzle, 
Io, Oracle, Omniknight, 
Witch Doctor, 
Winter Wyvern, Abaddon, etc.
Viper
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 4%)Spectre
* 
Nethertoxin disables Desolate and Dispersion, leaving Spectre with far less damage output and damage mitigation in engagements.
* Spectre is one of the weakest heroes at early levels. Viper can stifle her farm with early fights before Spectre purchases any major items.
Additional:
* Nethertoxin disable passives, negating Spectre's damage and survivability by removing both Dispersion and Desolate.
* Due to Haunt and Radiance's burn, Spectre is heavily susceptible to being persistently slowed and damaged by 
Corrosive Skin without even directly attacking Viper.
* 
Poison Attack and 
Viper Strike further slow Spectre's movement speed to a crawl, while his improved magic resistance means he can easily shrug off Radiance's burn.
Storm Spirit
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 4%)Spectre
* 
Ball Lightning is the ultimate counter to Spectre's entire toolkit. With this ability, he can score easy kills on Spectre without her having any means of escape early game, kite her and her Haunt illusions when it's later in the game due to her having no form of pseudo-blinks.
* Furthermore, it is very difficult for Spectre to deal any substantial damage against Storm Spirit with Desolate, and without both Manta Style and Diffusal Blade he will always remain on the move.
* Also, Ball Lightning grants invulnerability, and as Storm Spirit likes to spam that ability, he can mitigate the damage done from Dispersion and Radiance.
Additional:
* Storm Spirit can exploit every one of Spectre's weaknesses, and thus is one of the best counters against her.
* Spectre has to be in melee range to deal damage, making her likely to trigger 
Static Remnants and susceptible to being kited by 
Overload procs.
* 
Electric Vortex can lock Spectre down as she doesn't like to build 
Black King Bar.
* Ball Lightning gives Storm Spirit multiple advantages:
* Spectre cannot evade Storm Spirit, as Ball Lightning is superior to Spectral Dagger in terms of mobility.
* Storm Spirit can kite her and her Haunt illusions when it's later in the game due to her having no form of pseudo-blinks (Reality is far inferior to Ball Lightning).
* It is very difficult for Spectre to deal any substantial damage against Storm Spirit with Desolate. Ball Lightning grants invulnerability and can mitigate damage done from Dispersion and Radiance.
* To mitigate this, Spectre needs a team with hard disable to take Storm Spirit out.
Kunkka
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 4%)Spectre
* Spectre can't escape with Spectral Dagger under X Marks the Spot.
* Kunkka can dominate Spectre's lane using Tidebringer and gain an advantage.
* Ghostship helps your team soak up damage from Haunt.
Lion
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 12%)Spectre
* 
Hex and 
Mana Drain can be used to immediately destroy Spectre's illusion when she Haunts. A fast fingered Lion can protect himself and a teammate.
* Hex and 
Earth Spike are good lockdown spells to control and kill Spectre, especially if she doesn't buy defensive items like 
Linken's Sphere and Black King Bar.
* 
Finger of Death can be used to burst down Spectre when she is low on life as she has very poor magic resistance.
Oracle
* Heroes with long disables, like Lion, Night Stalker, or Legion Commander, can prevent Oracle from using spells or items.
Oracle
* Lion is extremely dependent on his abilities. Silences like 
Silencer's 
Last Word, magic resistance like Oracle's 
Fate's Edict, and dispels like Legion Commander's 
Press the Attack all make his abilities less effective.
Monkey King
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 45% pickrate: 9%)Spectre
* Dispersion will not do anything against throughout the game due to his high lifesteal with Jingu Mastery.
* Monkey King often buys Manta Style, which will deny Desolate benefits in 1v1 situations.
* Haunt will do nothing to stop people trapped within Monkey Kings ultimate.
* In all, Spectre is very easily pressured by Monkey King early into the game and is a very easy gank target to coordinate with your team.
Bristleback
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 42% pickrate: 2%)Oracle
* Fortune's End cannot dispel 
Warpath stacks on Bristleback or 
Quill Spray stacks on allies.
* 
Bristleback can heavily reduce Oracle's damage output. With it, Oracle may accidentally heal Bristleback with Purifying Flames, especially if Bristleback has bonus magic resistance.
Broodmother
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 55% pickrate: 5%)Oracle
* Oracle cannot easily deal with swarms of units, making him weak against heroes like Phantom Lancer or 
Broodmother.
Slark
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 14%)Spectre
* Heroes with good escapes can usually outmaneuver and escape from Spectre: Slark, 
Clinkz, 
Weaver
Additional:
* Essence Shift deals 20 extra damage by draining one strength per hit, which cannot be reduced or spread by Dispersion.
* Pounce prevents Spectre from escaping with Spectral Dagger.
* Haunt illusions usually don't deal a lot of damage to Slark as he tends to buy a 
Shadow Blade, preventing Desolate's and Diffusal Blade's damage and activating Shadow Dance's regeneration to make up for any damage caused by Radiance.
* Slark is a natural carrier of 
Silver Edge, which helps break both Desolate and Dispersion.
Elder Titan
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 2%)Oracle
* 
Elder Titan's 
Echo Stomp can turn into a 5 second stun on an ally under the effect of False Promise, as it delays all damage and makes it impossible to break the damage threshold of Echo Stomp.
Disruptor
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 12%)Spectre
* 
Disruptor can control where she goes with 
Kinetic Field and 
Glimpse. 
Static Storm shuts her down in teamfights.
Weaver
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 4%)Spectre
* Heroes with good escapes can usually outmaneuver and escape from Spectre: Slark, Clinkz, Weaver
Hoodwink
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 12%)Spectre
* Durable heroes relied a lot on their main passive effects and items' effects such as 
Bristleback, 
Underlord, Spectre and 
Dragon Knight can be disabled easily with 
Sharpshooter's break, reducing their potential in teamfights.
Templar Assassin
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 4%)Oracle
* Because Oracle uses few, powerful instances of damage to kill enemies, 
Templar Assassin's 
Refraction and 
Visage's 
Gravekeeper's Cloak can absorb his burst damage.
Timbersaw
[wiki] rating: 0.6 (winrate: 45% pickrate: 4%)Oracle
* Heroes who are not easily crippled by Fate's Edict or Fortune's End, such as Timbersaw, or those who can dispel them, such as Phantom Lancer, can kill Oracle unhindered.
Shadow Shaman
[wiki] rating: 0.4 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 8%)Spectre
* 
Hex can be used immediately to destroy Spectre's illusion when she Haunts.
* Shadow Shaman can use 
Shackles to lock down Spectre for his team.
* Shadow Shaman's 
Mass Serpent Ward and 
Ether Shock help him push lanes and end the game early before Spectre can come online and take over the late game.
Spectre
* Spectre's entire ability set is designed to get to and destroy heroes that stay in the backlines, both carries (like the aforementioned 
Drow Ranger and 
Sniper) and supports (like Dazzle and 
Shadow Shaman).
Juggernaut
[wiki] rating: 0.4 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 17%)Spectre
* Juggernaut's 
Healing Ward can help save allied supports when Spectre attempts a Haunt kill.
* Juggernaut has a stronger push potential than Spectre, enabling him to end the game early before Spectre can come online.
* Spectre is often paired with two supports that are often weak against Juggernaut.
* Juggernaut also tends to build a Manta Style, which can prevent Desolate from taking effect.
* Juggernaut is invulnerable against Dispersion while using 
Omnislash.
Oracle
* Heroes with abilities that can save teammates are also effective such as 
Shadow Demon, Dazzle, Oracle, 
Bane, 
Pugna, 
Tusk, Winter Wyvern, Io, Underlord, 
Treant Protector and 
Keeper of the Light.
Faceless Void
[wiki] rating: 0.4 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 11%)Oracle
* 
Time Walk and 
Backtrack allow Faceless Void to easily negate Oracle's burst damage.
* 
Time Dilation is effective against Oracle's low-cooldown spells. Although dispellable with Fortune's End, it can still catch Oracle off guard if Fortune's End is on cooldown.
Oracle
* Any hero that can nullify effects of Chronosphere: (Keeper of the Light with Aghanim's Scepter during daytime, Winter Wyvern), banishing him or Faceless Void (
Outworld Destroyer, Shadow Demon, 
Earth Spirit with Aghanim's Scepter) or protecting him in other ways (Dazzle, Oracle, Abaddon) can greatly limit Chronosphere's potential.
Mars
[wiki] rating: 0.4 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 12%)Spectre
* Spectre cannot have a good game if she is pressured heavily in lane, which is something Mars can do.
* Spectre can use Haunt and Spectral Dagger inside and outside from Arena of Blood, but it doesn't really matter since Mars does best during the early and mid game.
* Should Spectre get to the late game, Mars can block a large amount of her damage and split the teamfights in his advantage.
Oracle
* Heroes with high magical or pure damage will bypass Bulwark: Timbersaw, 
Dark Willow, 
Enigma, 
Invoker, Pugna, 
Skywrath Mage, 
Tinker, 
Zeus, Oracle.
Terrorblade
[wiki] rating: 0.4 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 4%)Spectre
* 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.
Additional:
* If Terrorblade's health is low enough, he can safely use Sunder on Spectre without any consequences from her Dispersion and Spectre has no way to prevent it.
* Although Desolate deals pure damage and can bypass his high armor, Terrorblade usually stays nearby his illusions, effectively disabling Desolate.
* Reflection is effective against her as it does not only slow her down but Desolate can also be used against herself.
* Dispersion damage is reduced thanks to Terrorblade's high natural armor.
* Terrorblade is one of few heroes that can manfight Spectre. Not everything is lost if Spectre managed to reach late game.
Spectre
* Unlike with other heroes who can summon illusions of themselves, Terrorblade's illusions from 
Conjure Image have different colors than other illusions which can be seen even by enemy team, which can also make Terrorblade weak even against heroes he naturally counters: Bane, 
Lifestealer, Spectre, 
Chaos Knight, Spirit Breaker, Sniper. Terrorblade's only solution to counter this problem is to get Manta Style as quickly as possible.
Clinkz
[wiki] rating: 0.2 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 9%)Oracle
* Heroes who can take advantage of Oracle's low mobility or catch him out of position, such as Clinkz and 
Anti-Mage, can easily pick him off.
Spectre
* Heroes with good escapes can usually outmaneuver and escape from Spectre: Slark, Clinkz, Weaver
Spectre
* Spectre can instantly escape Burning Army or hunt Clinkz with Haunt.
* Spectre can catch up to him with Spectral Dagger, even if he uses Skeleton Walk.
* Desolate allows Spectre to hit Clinkz through Skeleton Walk.
* Dispersion makes Spectre tanky and also reflects some damage back to Clinkz.
Additional:
* Spectre can catch Clinkz with Spectral Dagger, even if he uses 
Skeleton Walk.
* Spectre can instantly reach a ratting Clinkz with Haunt.
* Desolate's damage will melt him quickly, as he's alone most of the time.
Rubick
[wiki] rating: -2.0 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 22%)Oracle
* Oracle's high magic damage output can easily take down Rubick's low health pool.
* Because Oracle likes to combine his spells together, the only good 
Spell Steal target he gives is False Promise. This scenario can be avoided by shift queueing Fortune's End and casting it immediately, as it has no cast point, or by staying in the back line of fights if out of mana.
* As a position based hero, Rubick will have a very hard time against Fortune's End due to its absurd range and very long root duration.
Spectre
* None of Spectre's spells are very good for Rubick to Spell Steal.
Ancient Apparition
[wiki] rating: -2.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 6%)Spectre
* As Ancient Apparition likes to stay far away from the fight to get full effectiveness from 
Ice Blast, he is a very good target for a Haunt gank.
* Ancient Apparition also has no hard disables and escape spells, making him an easy kill for Spectre.
Oracle
* 
False Promise can dispel the stun from Cold Feet and can save an ally that's about to shatter from Ice Blast, even allowing healing with 
Purifying Flames by delaying it until after the debuff expires.
* Purifying Flames allows Oracle to deny his allies if they're affected by Ice Blast. If he brings his allies' health to or below the shatter threshold, it will count as him denying the ally. However, this does not work on Oracle himself.
* Fate's Edict provides 100% magic resistance, making it good against all of Ancient Apparition's abilities at all stages of the game.
* 
Fortune's End can dispel Cold Feet from allies.
Additional:
* False Promise can prevent the shatter from Ice Blast and Fate's Edict can protect an ally from the magical damage over time for a while.
* Oracle can deny allies who are frostbitten. If he uses Purifying Flames to reach the shatter threshold, it will count as a deny.
* Fortune's End can dispel 
Cold Feet on affected allies, preventing them from getting frozen.
Phantom Assassin
[wiki] rating: -1.6 (winrate: 45% pickrate: 14%)Spectre
* Black King Bar is useless for Phantom Assassin against Spectre, since all of the Spectre's abilities go through spell immunity,
* 
Blur cannot evade Desolate because its damage is a separate damage instance and is applied before the attack hits.
* Spectre's high durability provided by Dispersion and damage block items makes her one of the hardest carries to take down.
* Phantom Assassin has no way to stop Spectre from killing her allies.
Additional:
* Dispersion makes it hard for Phantom Assassin to burst down Spectre while also reflecting back Phantom Assassin's high burst damage against herself.
* Desolate ignores the evasion from Blur.
* Black King Bar is useless against Spectre as all of her skills pierce spell immunity.
Oracle
* Fate's Edict cripples many heroes who rely on attacks, such as 
Phantom Assassin, 
Sven, or 
Enchantress, without a dispel or a Black King Bar.
Sniper
[wiki] rating: -1.6 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 17%)Oracle
* Fortune's End can catch out or impair position-based heroes with low mobility, such as Sniper or 
Razor.
Spectre
* Haunt instantly allows her to get up and close with Sniper, and Spectral Dagger makes it difficult to escape from her.
* Spectre outcarries Sniper in the late game, so Sniper must try to end the game early before Spectre comes online.
Additional:
* Spectre can reach him easily in the backlines with Spectral Dagger or teleport to him with Haunt.
* He is usually a fair distance away from his allies, so Desolate will quickly tear Sniper down.
* Dispersion reflect or reduce his damage, making her hard to take down even at late game.
Magnus
[wiki] rating: -1.6 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 11%)Spectre
* Spectre can use Haunt to intercept and disrupt Magnus's initiation attempts.
* Spectral Dagger can severely slow down Magnus after he uses 
Skewer.
* Magnus often travels alone when he is trying to initiate, so Desolate can be very effective against him.
* In late game, Spectre can survive 
Reverse Polarity initiation thanks to Dispersion.
Additional:
* Spectre disables Magnus' Blink Dagger using her ultimate, and later into the game can usually outlive Reverse Polarity's duration.
Oracle
* 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.
Bounty Hunter
[wiki] rating: -1.6 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 6%)Oracle
* Oracle with Fortune's End and False Promise
* 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
* Naga Siren with 
Mirror Image
* Omniknight with 
Heavenly Grace
* Oracle with Fortune's End and False Promise
* Phantom Lancer with Doppelganger
* Slark with 
Dark Pact
* 
Ursa with 
Enrage
* Weaver with 
Time Lapse
* Tidehunter with 
Kraken Shell when damage received reaches the threshold.
Spectre
* Spectre can instantly reveal Bounty Hunter's position on the activation of her ultimate Haunt. She can also semi-reveal( visible but not target-able) Bounty Hunter by hitting him with Spectral Dagger.
Nature's Prophet
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 44% pickrate: 4%)Spectre
* 
Shadow Step's low cooldown allows Spectre to teleport to him whenever he decides to push.
* Spectral Dagger allows Spectre to go through Sprout's trees and stun Nature's Prophet if she has a 
Skull Basher or 
Abyssal Blade.
* Spectre loves buying Radiance, which can kill Nature's Prophet's Treants easily.
Additional:
* Spectre can get to him anywhere on the map with Haunt.
* Spectre can pass through his trees with Spectral Dagger.
* Desolate's damage will melt him quickly, as he's alone most of the time.
Batrider
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 2%)Oracle
* False Promise dispels Flaming Lasso.
* Fortune's End can root Batrider after he uses Flaming Lasso. It can also dispel Sticky Napalm and Flamebreak.
* Fate's Edict when used on a Lasso'd target will leave them immune to magical damage, making it difficult to burst them quickly before the Lasso ends.
Lina
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 12%)Spectre
* Spectral Dagger and Haunt allow Spectre to get close to Lina.
* Desolate is very strong against Lina, who's usually a bit isolated in fights because of her high attack and cast range.
* Dispersion can mitigate a good portion of Lina's burst damage, allowing Spectre to turn on her afterwards.
Additional:
* Spectre can very easily close the distance on Lina with Haunt and Spectral Dagger, and due to Lina's abysmal mobility without a 
Blink Dagger and terrible health pool and armor, Lina easily gets slaughtered due Desolate.
* Dispersion can mitigate a good portion of Lina's burst damage, allowing Spectre to turn against her afterwards.
Techies
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 7%)Oracle
* Fate's Edict gives 100% magic resistance, which prevents most of Techies' damage.
* Oracle's Fortune's End dispels Reactive Tazer buff from Techies allowing him to be attacked. However, Reactive Tazer will instantly perform the area of effect disarm that is normally applied at the end of the duration.
* Fortune's End will also dispel Blast Off silence, Techies' Etheral Blade, Proximity Mines' magic resistance reduction, and Sticky Bomb's slow. However beware that it will only dispel Sticky Bomb's first or second instance of slow and not the damage, which will trigger as normal.
Additional:
* Since Techies' skills are all magical damage, casting Fate's Edict immediately upon hearing the warning sound from 
Proximity Mines and 
Blast Off! can render Oracle or an ally immune to the burst damage from these skills.
* If timed correctly, 
Remote Mines can also be countered using the same technique.
Dark Willow
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 5%)Oracle
* Fortune's End can easily dispel 
Cursed Crown before it times out and stuns. He can also save a stunned ally with False Promise.
* Fate's Edict can easily negate 
Bedlam's over-time damage, since the spell provides no form of control. Similarly, he can also negate the magic burst from 
Shadow Realm.
* Fortune's End can dispel the fear effect from 
Terrorize, and it can remove the root from 
Bramble Maze if you're quick enough. Be mindful that Fortune's End only dispels your allies' debuffs on the primary target.
Additional:
* Fortune's End not being disjointable is almost an ensured disable if Dark Willow tries to escape with Shadow Realm. Dispels Cursed Crown and Terrorize.
* Fate's Edict negates all her magic damage in case she catches a single hero.
* False Promise's strong dispel removes Dark Willow's disables.
Ogre Magi
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 11%)Oracle
* Fate's Edict gives full immunity from Ogre Magi's mostly magical damage.
* Fortune's End can dispel Ignite (when used on allies) and Bloodlust (when used on enemies).
* False Promise can dispel Ignite and Fireblast.
Windranger
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 9%)Spectre
* Spectre can instantly escape Focus Fire or hunt a Windranger with Haunt.
* Spectre can catch up to her with Spectral Dagger, even if she uses Windrun.
* Desolate allows Spectre to hit Windranger through Windrun.
* Dispersion combined with 
Blade Mail and or 
Vanguard makes Spectre tanky and or also reflects some damage back to Windranger.
Additional:
* Spectre can catch up to her with Spectral Dagger, even if she uses 
Windrun.
* Spectre can instantly reach a ratting Windranger with Haunt.
* Windrun's miss chance is countered by Desolate.
* Dispersion can reflect some of her damage, especially from her 
Focus Fire.
Ember Spirit
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 8%)Oracle
* Oracle can shut down both of Ember's early game abilities. Fortune's End can dispel 
Flame Guard on Ember Spirit and 
Searing Chains on allies.
* When Ember Spirit is affected by Fortune's End, his 
Fire Remnants move at 0 movement speed.
* Disarming him with Fate's Edict does affect Ember's 
Sleight of Fist ability, possibly making him useless for a few seconds in the late game without a dispel or spell immunity. This is especially good if he has a rapier or two. However, positioning for this is difficult when Ember plays far back.
Witch Doctor
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 14%)Oracle
* It is especially easy for Oracle to negate the damage from Maledict, and even heal through it with Fate's Edict and Purifying Flames.
* If by some miracle an enemy is still about to die because of Maledict, he can still save him with False Promise.
Phoenix
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 5%)Oracle
* Phoenix does significant magic damage over time which can either be dispelled or negated by Fate's Edict.
* Since Phoenix sacrifices some of his health to cast abilities it makes him very vulnerable to Oracle's burst potential
Beastmaster
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 3%)Oracle
* False Promise effectively nullifies Primal Roar's single-target initiation on allies.
* Purifying Flames kills Beastmaster's Hawk instantly and Boar with two casts.
Skywrath Mage
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 10%)Oracle
* Fate Edict can completely negate Skywrath Mage's heavy magic damage.
* Fortune End dispels 
Ancient Seal.
Marci
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 17%)Oracle
* Fortune's End dispells Marci's 
Sidekick, removing additional damage and lifesteal.
* Fate's Edict disarms Marci, preventing her from attacking with 
Unleash. Also it is useful against Marci or her ally affected by Sidekick.
* False Promise is a great tool to save an ally focused by Marci.
Crystal Maiden
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 18%)Spectre
* Heroes the make heavy use of illusions, like Chaos Knight, Phantom Lancer, 
Terrorblade, or Spectre can suffer from Crystal Maiden, as Freezing Field can quickly kill off the entire horde if not stopped.
Oracle
* Heroes with little health or magic resistance are easily picked off with Oracle's magic burst, such as Skywrath Mage, 
Crystal Maiden, or Enchantress.
Spectre
* As Crystal Maiden is squishy with very bad movement speed, Spectre can easily stay on Crystal Maiden with Haunt and Spectral Dagger.
* Late game, with enough farm, Spectre can withstand an entire 
Freezing Field, possibly even causing Crystal Maiden to kill herself from Dispersion.
Earthshaker
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 12%)Spectre
* Spectral Dagger can be used to traverse past Fissure.
* Haunt will usually disable Earthshaker's Blink Dagger prior to a teamfight, preventing him from initiating.
* On the other hand, Haunt will amplify damage done from Echo Slam. Use this to your advantage.
Additional:
* Spectre can use Haunt to intercept and disrupt Earthshaker's initiation attempts.
* Spectral Dagger can be used to traverse past 
Fissure.
* Earthshaker often travels alone when he is trying to initiate, so Desolate can be very effective against him.
* Beware that the Haunt illusions amplify the damage done from 
Echo Slam, which can prove fatal for Spectre's own team.
Leshrac
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 10%)Oracle
* Oracle's Fate's Edict will protect an ally from Leshrac's nuking damage.
* Oracle's False Promise can dispel Leshrac's stun and slow from his abilities, allowing an ally to escape.
* Fortune's End can stop Leshrac from chasing opponents or running away.
Enigma
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 6%)Spectre
* Haunt can ruin Enigma's initiation with Blink Dagger, no matter where he is on the map.
* Spectre often buys Radiance, which allows her to deal damage over time to Enigma and put Blink Dagger on cooldown.
* Dispersion reflects the damage of 
Midnight Pulse and 
Black Hole inflicted back to Enigma. This can get even worse for Enigma if Spectre buys Blade Mail.
* All of Spectre's abilities ignore spell immunity, which means that even with Black King Bar, Enigma has absolutely little to no chance against Spectre at any stage of the game.
Drow Ranger
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 53% pickrate: 17%)Spectre
* Spectre can easily close the distance on Drow Ranger with Haunt and stick on her with Spectral Dagger, effectively disables her 
Marksmanship.
* Spectre does not care if silenced by 
Gust, since Spectre will catch her up regardless.
* Dispersion can reflect some damage back to Drow Ranger should she chooses to attack.
* Be careful once she got her Silver Edge as an attempt to shut you down.
Tinker
[wiki] rating: -1.0 (winrate: 54% pickrate: 9%)Spectre
* His global teleportation with 
Boots of Travel and 
Rearm is easily countered with Haunt, and Spectre can reach him anywhere on the map.
* He is squishy, and if alone Desolate will kill him very fast.
* 
Laser's blind isn't reliable, since Desolate cannot miss. Even worse, Dispersion can reflect and reduce his burst damage.
Enchantress
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 43% pickrate: 4%)Oracle
* Heroes with little health or magic resistance are easily picked off with Oracle's magic burst, such as Skywrath Mage, Crystal Maiden, or Enchantress.
Keeper of the Light
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 3%)Oracle
* Heroes with dispels: Legion Commander, Oracle, Slark, Phantom Lancer
Razor
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 4%)Oracle
* Fortune's End can catch out or impair position-based heroes with low mobility, such as Sniper or Razor.
Wraith King
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 4%)Oracle
* Heroes with area dispel can kill multiple skeletons at once: 
Brewmaster, Oracle.
Necrophos
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 6%)Spectre
* 
Death Pulse can single out Spectre from her illusions, as well as heal his team against her. He also usually stands close to his allies for Death Pulse, effectively disabling Desolate.
Oracle
* During the laning stage, Oracle's Purifying Flames nullifies any damage that Heartstopper Aura might inflict.
* Fate's Edict and False Promise can protect an ally from Reaper's Scythe.
* Oracle can dispel Ghost Shroud with Fortune's End.
Additional:
* Fortune's End can dispel 
Ghost Shroud, rending Necrophos vulnerable to physical damage. Also it's worth noting that Necrophos takes additional magic damage when in Ethereal state, which makes Purifying Flames a powerful nuke against him.
* Fate's Edict fully negates the damage from 
Reaper's Scythe, which its own delayed animation makes it relatively easy to predict and nullify.
Spectre
* Enemies that possess high defenses through magic resistance, damage reduction, or high regeneration will make it difficult to whittle their health down to get to Reaper's Scythe's threshold. Such heroes include Bristleback (although only from behind), Spectre, Ursa, and Dragon Knight.
Medusa
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 2%)Spectre
* 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.
Primal Beast
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 9%)Oracle
* Primal Beast really suffers against supports he cannot bully in the lane, this includes Dazzle, Shadow Demon and Oracle since they can use their respective abilities to stop Primal Beast from dealing damage, or make it hard for him to stay in range.
Bane
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 3%)Oracle
* Heroes with strong dispels can dispel Bane's disables from their allies: Oracle, Legion Commander, Omniknight.
Troll Warlord
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 2%)Spectre
* Generally speaking, Spectre is a strong teamfighter but a weak manfighter. She has no tool to deal with troll warlord once he has his sight locked on her.
* Troll often buys Silver Edge and 
Monkey King Bar, which greatly countered Spectre's passive and item build (Silver Edge can disable passive while providing some damage, Monkey King Bar provides accuracy to counter Radiance and 
Butterfly miss chance).
* Black King Bar allows troll to bypass the damage return from Blade mail should Spectre attempts to fight back Troll. However, Black King Bar is generally not very effective against Spectre as her skills can pierce the spell immunity. Still, it offers protection against Blade mail, a common item for Spectre in the mid game.
* Troll has high lifesteal from 
Battle Trance and 
Satanic, which help him survive the damage from Desolate should the break duration is over.
* Battle Trance and 
Fervor mean Spectre will have a hard time fighting troll and cannot take him down, even with equal farm.
Spectre
* Heroes that rely on evasion are slightly countered by Desolate: Phantom Assassin, 
Troll Warlord.
Oracle
* Fate's Edict can disarm Troll, rendering him useless in a teamfight, especially if he has already used Battle Trance.
* Fortune's End and Purifying Flames can provide ample magic damage to help burst down Troll Warlord quickly in the early to mid game.
* False Promise can save an ally from Troll Warlord's initiation, forcing him to switch targets and lose his Fervor stacks, or waste time during Battle Trance.
Sven
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 4%)Oracle
* Fate's Edict cripples many heroes who rely on attacks, such as Phantom Assassin, Sven, or Enchantress, without a dispel or a Black King Bar.
Dazzle
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 7%)Spectre
* Spectre's entire ability set is designed to get to and destroy heroes that stay in the backlines, both carries (like the aforementioned Drow Ranger and Sniper) and supports (like Dazzle and Shadow Shaman).
Chen
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 1%)Spectre
* Squishy heroes without good escape mechanism: Crystal Maiden, Chen.
Mirana
[wiki] rating: -0.6 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 15%)Oracle
* Heroes that can protect or dispel stunned allies such as Legion Commander, Outworld Destroyer, Shadow Demon and Oracle can reduce the effectiveness of Sacred Arrow.
Dark Seer
[wiki] rating: -0.4 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 2%)Spectre
* 
Dark Seer can pull together Spectre's illusions with 
Vacuum, and 
Wall of Replica creates an illusion of Spectre that deals massive damage.
Oracle
* Fortune's End dispels Ion Shell and Surge, making any gank attempt on Dark Seer in the laning phase likely to succeed.
* Fate's Edict prevents all magical damage that comes from Dark Seer's abilities.
* Fortune's End dispels Ion Shell on creeps, which Dark Seer relies on to farm and zone.
Additional:
* Fortune's End can dispel 
Ion Shell, which cripples Dark Seer economy since it's his most efficient tool for farming.
* Fortune's End can dispel 
Surge, effectively slowing his movement speed making him vulnerable to ganks or skirmishes.
Jakiro
[wiki] rating: -0.4 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 11%)Spectre
* 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.
Oracle
* Fate's Edict allows Oracle to make allies spell immune, allowing him to save allies from Jakiro's spells.
* Fate's Edict can be cast onto Jakiro to disarm him and prevent him from pushing with his Liquid Fire.
* False Promise allows Oracle to free allies from Jakiro's Ice Path.
Legion Commander
[wiki] rating: -0.4 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 13%)Oracle
* Heroes with long disables, like Lion, Night Stalker, or Legion Commander, can prevent Oracle from using spells or items.
Oracle
* Fate's Edict prevents Legion Commander from attacking for a few seconds, potentially saving Oracle's ally.
* Fortune's End dispels Press the Attack's healing and attack speed buff, as well as the movement speed bonus from Overwhelming Odds.
* False Promise protects allies and prevents Legion Commander from winning Duels and gaining bonus damage.
Additional:
* Provided that the enemy team does not have an 
Axe, Oracle can guarantee that his ally survives for the duration of the Duel with False Promise and has decent nuke potential to help ally to win a Duel. He can also disarm Legion Commander with Fate's Edict.
* Oracle can dispel enemy buffs like 
Overwhelming Odds and Press the Attack with Fortune's End.
Slardar
[wiki] rating: -0.4 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 6%)Spectre
* 
Slardar's 
Slithereen Crush allows him to stun Spectre and illusions, and 
Corrosive Haze prevents her from juking with Spectral Dagger.
Oracle
* Fortune's End applies a basic dispel which can be used to dispel Corrosive Haze, or even Slardar's own Guardian Sprint.
* False Promise is able to dispel Corrosive Haze and Slithereen Crush stun/slow from any allies Oracle chooses to cast it on.
* Fate's Edict can also be cast on Slardar to prevent him from proccing his Bash of the Deep.
Pugna
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 2%)Spectre
* 
Nether Blast is one of the best tower pushing abilities in the game, with a low cooldown. A competent Pugna will (at the very least) destroy tier 2 towers and make space for his team before Spectre can finally come online.
* Spectre's spells, while not spammable, have a fairly high mana cost, so 
Nether Ward can be fairly damaging to Spectre early game. The mana degen will also dampen Spectre's early game power significantly.
* Once Pugna gets Aghanim's Scepter, he can spam 
Life Drain on any illusion Spectre summons, whether it'd be from Haunt, Manta Style, or some other means.
* In addition, Pugna can disable Spectre's Desolate ability (although its damage is pure, it requires physical attacks) with his 
Decrepify ability, leaving Spectre only with Spectral Dagger.
Oracle
* All of Pugna's damage is magical, which can get blocked by Fate's Edict's 100% magic resistance.
* Oracle has two abilities that apply a dispel, which can easily remove Decrepify on his ally or Oracle.
Void Spirit
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 7%)Spectre
* Void Spirit is strong against heroes who cannot deal with his rotations due to his mobility. Such heroes include Spectre, 
Gyrocopter, Morphling, and Chen.
Oracle
* Heroes that can purge his slow and disables are very difficult to go on and their team: Abaddon, Oracle.
Luna
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 4%)Spectre
* Illusions and summons are double-edge sword type of matchup for Luna. On one hand, they can tank damage from Eclipse, but on the other hand, she can easily clear them before Eclipse with Moon Glaives. Examples include 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, 
Meepo and 
Arc Warden).
Spectre
* Heroes that create illusions: 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, 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, but that will require lots of farming for right-click items.
Zeus
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 16%)Spectre
* Zeus is good against heroes that juke in trees or up cliffs, like Batrider, 
Monkey King, Spectre, and Tinker, by providing vision in any area with Lightning Bolt, or guaranteeing vision on enemies with Thundergod's Wrath.
Spectre
* Zeus can deal a huge amount of damage, but he lacks defensive abilities, such as good mobility or resistance. Due to that, he doesn't like to be touched by any means. Heroes with higher damage output and good mobility will often get easily near Zeus and trade damage (eventually causing Zeus's downfall). Such Heroes include: 
Lycan, Slark, 
Storm Spirit, Spectre and others.
Additional:
* Zeus burst damage can be reduced by Dispersion and reflect some of the damage back to Zeus himself.
* Zeus has low mobility and stays in backlines, Spectral Dagger or Haunt can easily catch him as he has no escape mechanism.
* Since Zeus has low HP, Spectral Dagger and Desolate will quickly tear Zeus down when he's alone.
Venomancer
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 6%)Spectre
* Venomancer's poison damage-over-time are very effective against Spectre, which is lack of magic resistance from early to mid game.
* Venomancer's multiple slows greatly reduces Spectre's low mobility, even through Spectral Dagger.
* Plague Wards reveals Spectre while she is hiding on trees.
Additional:
* Venomancer's poison damage over time is very effective against Spectre, who tends to lack magic resistance during the early to mid game.
* Venomancer's multiple slows greatly reduces Spectre's movement speed and mobility.
* 
Plague Wards can scout out Spectre while she is hiding in trees.
Oracle
* Fortune's End can dispel Venomous Gale and Poison Sting from allies.
* Fate's Edict grants 100% magic resistance to target, inhibiting the damage from Venomancer abilities.
Silencer
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 54% pickrate: 15%)Oracle
* Oracle's reliance on spamming his spells can be easily hindered by Silencer's Arcane Curse.
* Last Word and Global Silence negates Oracle's attempt to save his allies with his spells.
* Fate's Edict is useless against Glaives of Wisdom's pure damage.
Oracle
* Fortune's End can nullify 
Arcane Curse, Last Word, and 
Global Silence, if cast at the right time with the right targets.
* Fate's Edict can prevent Silencer from attacking, which he relies on with 
Glaives of Wisdom, for a lot of his damage.
Riki
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 55% pickrate: 6%)Spectre
* Riki's 
Smoke Screen can make it hard for Spectre to escape or burst down Riki with auto attacks.
* Riki can build Aghanim's Scepter and jump inside an allied carry or offlane tank with 
Tricks of the Trade to do a lot of damage to Spectre while completely avoiding Dispersion.
* Riki is great at destroying supports which are often needed to keep Spectre safe until she comes online. He can take them down quickly in team fights, which will leave Spectre alone against your whole team, a fight that she will most likely not win.
* While on Tricks of the Trade, Riki does not take damage from Dispersion.
Spectre
* Spectral Dagger follows Riki even after he goes invisible and stays on him through Tricks of the Trade, revealing his location.
* Desolate grants Spectre the ability to damage Riki with right clicks regardless of Smoke Screen's blind.
* Riki relies on his high damage to kill is opponents, which is countered by Dispersion.
* Haunt can find Riki globally at any time, negating much of his ganking potential.
Omniknight
[wiki] rating: 0.0 (winrate: 55% pickrate: 4%)Spectre
* Global 
Guardian Angel will protect his allies from Spectre's Haunt, both when they are alone and in teamfights.
* 
Purification is a major problem for melee enemies, Spectre included, since they must be next to an enemy in order to attack. The AoE damage also allows Spectre to be singled out from her illusions.
* 
Degen Aura will prevent Spectre from chasing Omniknight, further exacerbated by her terrible mobility outside Haunt.
Oracle
* Fortune's End's AoE dispel will remove Heavenly Grace and Guardian Angel.
Additional:
* With Fortune's End, Oracle can dispel Guardian Angel in an area of effect.
Oracle
* Heroes that deal few, powerful instances of damage, like
Oracle, 
Lion, or 
Sven, have a hard time breaking through Gravekeeper's Cloak.
Spectre
* Familiars will be able to chase Spectre through the trees when she uses
Spectral Dagger, while Visage can keep blasting her with Soul Assumption.
Desolate will almost never proc because Visage will always have nearby Familiars.
*
