DotA Items and Their Counters!
New items are keep coming out on the recent DotA versions. But do you know that almost every item has its counters? Check this out!
vs 
Black King Bar and Linken is the obvious counter, but you should know that you can Purge the heroes to remove Hex or Cyclone.
vs
Black King Bar is the ultimate counter for any spell!
vs 
BKB prevent you from return damage while Satanic 100% lifesteal will help you nulled the return damage if you are using physical attack.
vs
Not many people know that we can remove the Ghost Form using Purge. Hex is pretty obvious.
vs -disablehelp
Tired with your team mate who keep using Force Staff on your hero? -disablehelp is your ultimate counter ;)
vs 
Just kidding, you just have to quickly gank the holder and destroy (or steal) it when dropped. Remember the Gem cooldown is quite long.
vs 
Sentry War anyone?
vs 
Dust is the cheapest solution if you wanna gank heroes that have Lothar while Sentry is better used when you are going into a team war.
vs
Ghost Form is the ultimate counter for any physical attack (and their effect)!
vs
True Strike will negate any evasion with ease.
vs 
Both item is negating each other. While Assault Cuirass has attack speed increase aura, Shiva have the attack speed decrease aura. Shiva armor boost will also help you againts the minus armor aura from Cuirass.
vs 
Battlefury will remove illusions with ease if you are using melee hero. Mjollnir's Static Charge and Shiva's Arctic Blast also work well for illusions.
vs 
Radiance can screw up Blink Dagger user. If you have charge you can cast Urn to your enemies to prevent them using Blink Dagger.
vs 
Chop all the trees before your enemy eat it! I'm serious here!
vs
Basically any disable will do well here. Please note that Force Staff does not cancel Town Portal.
vs 
They cancel each other. The left reduce magic damage while the right enhanced it. Veil of Discord is still rarely used though.
vs 
Turn the Dominated creeps into gold with ease.
vs
Urn is the cheapest item which can counter Linken. Use it before your main spell for maximum damage.
vs
Actually there's no actual counter for BKB, that's why IceFrog nerf the BKB duration. But if the enemy use BKB you can cast cyclone to yourself and watch your enemy wasting 2.5 seconds waiting for you. Or cast Force Staff to get some distance with the BKB user.
vs 
You can avoid the enemies Observer Ward using Smoke of Deceit. However, if the enemies for some reason also using Sentry Ward alongside the Obs, Smoke won't work. But it rarely happen because of the cost for both Ward.
vs
Cast Purge on the Necro Warrior/Archer for instant Gold :)

Deleteyes, you are right
ReplyDeleteRadiance's "radiance" is countered by Mjollnir's Static charge because the static charge activates when the buffed hero is damaged thus if the buffed hero is near the radiance carrier which ofc the enemy the enemy will be zapped! :D
ReplyDeletehehehe kitamz!! tama ako!! walang maniwala sa kin dun sa veil
ReplyDeleteAlief, I have kind of an off topic question!! I hope someone can reply... If I go Ethereal and try to TP away, I have noticed the ethereal form gets removed. Is that right or was it just my imagination!?
ReplyDeletei most like use purge to destroy necro summon unit n have some benefit. 1 save mana from their steal mana ability 2 gold 3 exp
ReplyDeleteDoesn't BKB counter effects from cranium basher? And does true strike go through PMS and Vanguard?
ReplyDeletecan u make one item VS skills too? XD
ReplyDeleteYes, it's not just your imagination...
ReplyDeleteYou cannot esc via ghost form + TP...
Casting town portal will remove the ghost form...
ganunba? haha. di kasi effective na gamitin ang veils kng nde aoe magic dmg ang gamit nyu ee. mas lalo na kng makiki 1v1 ka kay magina. magastos pa kya bihira kunin ng support type na hero
ReplyDeleteThx for such a quick reply!
ReplyDeletewhat is the anti in bash item and skills
ReplyDeletei want the item Shendelzare's Nether Swap staff or whatever. :D that is so fun to use
ReplyDeletehow about diffiusal blade vs necronomicon? the purge will kill the summoned unit instantly?
ReplyDeletethen I want to ask you all, if there are 2 radiances, can the effects of 2 radiances be stacked?
Two radiances auras won't stack. The first one that gets into the action area is the one that remains. Even if two or more heros with radiance arrive at the location.
ReplyDeleteSame with illusions: Only one radiance aura is the one that works (but your illusions will have the radiance effect)
ahhh... thanks for the answer! :D
ReplyDeleteBesides Urn, abuse the short duration and cooldown of Medallion of Courage(7 secs) to force the activation of Linken Sphere's spell block..
ReplyDeletegreat!
ReplyDeleteThat could work, but the reduce armor is quite powerful, so maybe i'm still prefer urn :)
ReplyDeleteAs i remember, BKB negate the damage but not the stun/bash. Maybe the other can elaborate? True Strike is for Evasion, while PMS & Vanguard is Damage Block, so they don't have any relation.
ReplyDeleteYou're right, didn't think of it :)
ReplyDeleteWell, i'll think about it. But since there's so much skill in DotA, it might quite hard to compile it :)
ReplyDeleteYeah, i will add it in the article :)
ReplyDeleteYes, Town Portal remove Ghost Form :) So it cannot be used for escape mechanism from Troll or Mortred. However, you can use Ghost Form and use Furion Teleportation :)
ReplyDeleteYes, i think it's work too :)
ReplyDeleteMedallion of Courage can counter Linkens aswell.
ReplyDeleteNecronomicon can be a counter for radiance, bfury and mjolnir/maelstrom because when the radiance aura/cleave/lightning kills the warrior necro it explodes and deals heavy damage.
ReplyDeleteMjollnir counters Radiance. >.< Static charge activates everytime the buffed hero is damaged, rest is self explanatory if the enemy has a Radiance.
ReplyDeleteSo Awesome :D
ReplyDeletenc guide
ReplyDeletejust use etherial form to negate any damage from bashes. BKB doesnt negate bashes, except for the bash by BARATHRUM ---still dont know why but i guess bara's bash is MAGIC so i guess bkb negates his bashes.
ReplyDeletereally?>
ReplyDeleteor get MKB for the mini stun is blocked by linken lol but cost expensive lol
ReplyDeleteI don't think 2 radiances stack. Whether you buy 2 yourself or your teammate has one. It doesn't stack. And yes diffusal kill necro-summons instantly just like when you do with warlocks roshans
ReplyDeleteGet EVASIONS.
ReplyDeletei have a question mod, why does tp cancels ghost? kindly explain just wanna know
ReplyDeletegreat!
ReplyDeletei understand that haha
ReplyDeleteAwesome, Helm of Dominator VS Hand of Midas really inspired me
ReplyDeleteCyclone can be purge?????!!!!
I played for 5 years and I didn't f*cking realized that
Try it dude it works. the Radiance holder which must be your enemy will be zapped if the Static charged hero is near it.
ReplyDeletesuper nice guide :))
ReplyDeletewhy do you think force staff cant cancel sroll of town portal??
ReplyDeletewoooooooo it hurts my brain !!!
but you need to assist for urn charge ^_^
ReplyDeleteGO medalion
U Can try it urself. it just forces the enemy infront but does not cancel the TP
ReplyDeletehmmmm. how about manta style vs urn, orchid, medallion and diffusal blade. when you get the effects of urn, orchid, medallion and diffusal blade, just use manta style. then that effects will be useless. it is also good for shadow strike, viper strike, etc.
ReplyDeletewe use medallion of courage or desolator to counter a hero wearing vanguard or hood of defiance
ReplyDeleteBKB could not be a counter for Blademail since Blademail deals true damage and not magic damage.
ReplyDeleteMelee units bash with physical stun and magical damage. Ranged units bash with magical stun and physical damage. Thus BKB will block stun from ranged units but they receive the physical damage. The magical damage dealt by melee units do not damage those who are in BKB, but they still can be stunned.
ReplyDeleteMjollnir and Maelstrom counters Linken's Sphere. Mjollnir's static field and Mjollnir and Maelstrom's Chain Lightning is blocked by Linken's.
ReplyDeletebecause ur skill still beginner fool
ReplyDeletehow about he wear MKB ??
ReplyDeletei think u wrong kids..
Ghost Scepter
ReplyDeletemedalion can counter manta illusion..^^
ReplyDeletewhy tango vs quiling blade? why?
ReplyDeleteDesolator will not counter the wearer of hood of defiance because HoD grants magic reduction and Desolator reduces armor so it will not affect the effect of HoD
ReplyDeleteBKB negates the damage of bash but he will still be stunned
ReplyDeleteI lol'd at this one. I might try it haha
ReplyDeletebcoz your going to be an illegal logger for the whole time. too bad theres a LOT OF TREES OUT THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeletePeking man
ReplyDeleteyou can cancel TP only by stun or hex or ensnare the target
ReplyDeletei remember it USED to. but now it is still in effect. Your illusions will have no "debuff" but you still will
ReplyDeletei remember it to be like that too. But now illusions carry a radiance damage.
ReplyDeletebecause simply they do not stack.. Like orb effects..
ReplyDeleteNope.. HoT only cancels out with "hero" damage so it will not be disabled.
ReplyDeleteBara can still greater bash a BKB-ed hero
ReplyDeleteBKB is stun proof except when physical bash. (time lock, slither bash, basher, MKB, etc.) and in an area bash (reverse, ravage and reign of chaos)
ReplyDeletethen how come the illusions of phantom lancer has radiance? why is radiance the core build for phantom lancer if it doesnt stack? seriously man
ReplyDeleteya bara can greater bash to bkbed hero but but no damage dealt
ReplyDeletecan you make a movie for dota??
ReplyDeleteim sure it will be a very nice movie
and many dotafans will watch it .,.,.
roflmao...cant get the joke? hakhak
ReplyDeletehow about to cancel the stun? imba moves..
ReplyDeleteDeso can counter tarasque why's not there?
ReplyDeleteCrystalis/Buriza or mkb can counter cuirass
great...awesome
ReplyDeletebter primary is phase then vanguard for 4000 gold guys
ReplyDeleteBlademail counters not just normal damage but also magic damage.. Even a little damage that splashes on you will also return to its sender i.e. radiance,battle fury, etc..
ReplyDeleteJust dodge it..
ReplyDeleteYour so strong men
ReplyDeleteYour just like N'aix
ReplyDeletecan a allied purge cancel hex?
ReplyDeletedeso and buriza counters TARAS
ReplyDeleteto be exact the radi demage wont stack....but the illusion also get the radi effct..even there 8 illuon of pl using radi...the demage apply will be the same
ReplyDeletebuang mu?
ReplyDeleteHow to defeat Naga if she uses diffusal blade at the first minutes of the game in a one-on-one game?...
ReplyDeleteHonestly I'm not a good gamer. But its so unfair for us newbies to fight players who uses naga with Diffusal blade at the"first minutes" of the game. 4x Mana burn + 3x Critical Damage (3 Illusions) is quite unbalance. Items that can counter Illusions like Battlefury, Plate mail, Shiva, Mjollnir , and Radiance are too much expensive and so hard to buy at the first minute of the game not like diffusal blade. that's why sometimes we don't enjoy the game anymore :(
I hope there are some Items that can counter this type of damage. Or characters that has a skills like...-Similar to Obsidian's 3rd skill but will regenerate Life not mana. (Goblin Shredder-Rizzrak's 3rd skill is the one I'm looking for. But It's so hard to use co'z its a "chance" basis and has a limit and how could you use Chakram if Naga will attack in different directions? even you deploy it on your position, you cannot attack and your mana is depleting due to mana burn. 1st skill is good but you can only use it once co'z it will cooldown and your mana is depleted before cooldown ends. 2nd skill is your only chance but You cannot use it becuase of Naga's Net. Axe's counter helix and sven's 2nd skill are the best but if Naga has Diffusal blade at the first minute of the game... Its worthless. Phantom Lancer has a similar to Naga but Illusions are so Irritating co'z it only appears when you attack. 1st skill is great but its nothing when naga uses her Net, the Real one stays and Naga can still see it.)
or
-Return Damage will equal to Missing mana (damage depends on skill levels) but will damage more to Illusions.So do you know some? :-)pls. I really need answers THANKS! :D
lol.theres so many skill to cancel tp..like omnislash and chainfrost of lich
ReplyDeleteif ur a newbie den ul just hav 2 b more experiencd 2 play a gud game against naga wit diffusal....
ReplyDeleteu shud think of da tankiness dat naga lacks not only mana burn... dont get harassed n if its a fight den ul hav 2 use ur eyes nicely 2 spot d real 1... d 1 whose health goes d least... it reqrs sum1 exp so just keep on practicin
nevr knew purge on necro creeps cud kill n return gold
ReplyDeleteThanks.
ReplyDeletebut do you have any suggested character and items that I could use and study against Naga?
:-)
can you use domi for controlling necrobook?
