* Heroes that can deny Slark early kills will prevent him from snowballing: Dazzle, Abaddon

* A Toss plus Avalanche combination deals heavy damage to Slark in the early game, making Tiny a very dangerous target to gank.

* Shallow Grave can be used to save an ally during Dismember and Rot.
* A combination of Bad Juju, Poison Touch, and items like Desolator or Solar Crest can tear off Pudge's low armor, making him even more vulnerable to physical damage.

* Shallow Grave prevents Legion Commander from killing her opponents in Duels.
* Shadow Wave will heal an ally caught in a Duel, as well as dealing damage to Legion Commander.

* Shadow Wave provides good sustain against Tinker's spammable abilities.
* Shallow Grave can stop Tinker from bursting down a target.

* Avalanche and Toss prevents Meepo's Poof escape or using town portal scroll.
* He doesn't need to aim the weakest clone while he is grabbing tree.

* Venomancer's damage-over-time abilities are easier to heal through with numerous Shadow Waves than other types of damage, and it's simple to time a Shallow Grave until the last possible second to save a teammate from them.

* Squishy heroes, usually supports, like Io, Ancient Apparition, Keeper of the Light etc can die instantly from Tiny's magic burst.

* Heroes that can save their allies can be a big problem for Mars: Dazzle, Omniknight.

* Heroes with abilities that reduce armor will make Huskar very vulnerable: Weaver, Dazzle, Bristleback, Vengeful Spirit.

* Hand of God has a long cooldown, so damage over time spells can be hazardous for Chen, forcing him to use it prematurely: Jakiro, Venomancer, Viper, Dazzle, Phoenix.

* Heroes that can slow Charge of Darkness by a huge amount: Venomancer, Viper, Dazzle, Arc Warden

* Any hero that can nullify effects of Chronosphere: (Omniknight, Keeper of the Light with Aghanim's Scepter during daytime, Winter Wyvern), banishing him or Faceless Void (Outworld Devourer, Shadow Demon, Earth Spirit with Aghanim's Scepter) or protecting him in other ways (Dazzle, Oracle, Abaddon) can greatly limit Chronosphere's potential.

* Heroes with armor reducing abilities greatly hinder Visage's defense like Slardar and Dazzle.

* Tiny can deal with Visage's Gravekeeper's Cloak quickly, as Avalanche deals damage in enough instances to completely remove all 4 layers of the passive. With Visage's lower than average Armor, a well positioned stun can allow Tiny to kill Visage easily.

Additional:
* Tiny's Avalanche removes a significant number of layers from Gravekeeper's Cloak. When combined with Toss burns through all of Gravekeeper's Cloak while doing triple times Toss damage to Visage in midair.
* Tiny's already high damage coupled with Tree Grab's attack modifier will make short work of Visage's Familiars.

* Shallow Grave saves an ally whom Terrorblade has used Sunder on.

* Shadow Wave will hit Clockwerk every time when he's fighting with an enemy inside Power Cogs.
* Due to Clockwerk's slow damage output, Dazzle will have more than enough time to Shallow Grave any enemy Clockwerk initiates on.
Additional:
* Shadow Wave will hit Clockwerk every time when he's fighting with an enemy inside Power Cogs.
* Due to Clockwerk's steady damage output, Dazzle has plenty of time to Shallow Grave anyone Clockwerk initiates on.

* Tiny can quickly clear Spiderlings with his active abilities and cleave.

* Heroes with the ability to heal allies, or those with good defensive abilities: (Chen, Dazzle, Io, Oracle, Omniknight, Witch Doctor, Winter Wyvern, (Abaddon, etc.

* Avalanche, Toss, and Grab Tree combo makes a short work of Naga Siren's illusions.

* Heroes that have disposable area-targeted spells can force her to undo her Meld: Leshrac, Puck, Tiny. An experienced Templar Assassin could try to Refraction before Meld so she can tank through those damage without getting her Blink disabled.

* Dazzle's Shadow Wave is a spammable healing ability that spreads around his entire team, slowing the death of his teammates as effectively as Necrophos spreads damage to them.
* If not immediately, Shallow Grave delays his ally from gradually dying to Necrophos' abilities, especially Reaper's Scythe.
Additional:
* Reaper's Scythe is very predictable and gives you plenty of time to react with Shallow Grave: just keep a close eye on allies below 50% health.
* However, be sure to use Shadow Wave on that ally immediately after, or they will die from Heartstopper Aura when the Shallow Grave ends!

* Heroes that excel at grouping up with their team very early will be able to take advantage of a Clinkz that tries to pick off heroes that are alone: Brewmaster, Dazzle, Tidehunter.
