Abaddon
* 
Song of the Siren completely wastes Abaddon 
Borrowed Time while keeping him in place.
* Naga Siren is able to simply dispel Abaddon's 
Curse of Avernus with 
Mirror Image before getting hit 4 times consecutively.
* Although Naga Siren's illusions can be easily destroyed by 
Aphotic Shield, Naga Siren can resolve that issue easily by purchasing 
Heart of Tarrasque to drastically increase her durability. Plus, the said item makes Naga Siren harder to be distinguished from her illusions.
Arc Warden
* Naga Siren's illusions from Mirror Image can depush the lanes pushed by the Tempest Double, relieving the pressure.
* Mirror Image can dispel Flux, and the illusions can stop Flux from working to it's full power.
Additional:
* Song of the Siren stops Arc Warden from acting and allows Naga Siren's team to close in on him, past his 
Magnetic Field.
* Mirror Image dispels 
Flux. The illusions created from it also disable the slow from Flux if Arc Warden casts it after Mirror Image.
* Arc Warden's playstyle heavily favors split-pushing, which Naga Siren can compete against with her illusions.
Abaddon
* 
Doom will make Abaddon unable to use Mist Coil, Aphotic Shield, and the active component of Borrowed Time, also upgraded with 
Aghanim's Scepter can break Curse of Avernus and the passive component of Borrowed Time ,which means his allies could be easily disabled or killed.
Arc Warden
* Arc Warden relies on items and abilities, as well as his 
Tempest Double, to deal damage to enemies. Doom effectively denies that and makes Arc Warden useless in fights.
Abaddon
* 
Culling Blade's instant kill is not prevented by Borrowed Time should Abaddon's health falls below the threshold.
Additional:
* Culling Blade ignores Borrowed Time should Abaddon's health falls under the threshold.
* Aphotic Shield does nothing against Berserkers Call and has to be used constantly to remove the very small mana cost of Battle Hunger in lane.
Arc Warden
* Magnetic Field doesn't provide a protection against 
Berserker's Call and 
Counter Helix and his high attack speed together with Tempest Double will often trigger Counter Helix.
* The threat of a blink and Berserker's Call may make the real Arc Warden stay further back, thus effectively halving the team's damage output for a while.
Arc Warden
* Heroes who can stop Axe from getting close will severely inhibit his presence in fights: 
Bristleback, 
Crystal Maiden, 
Batrider, 
Arc Warden, 
Winter Wyvern, 
Clockwerk
Arc Warden
* Because of his weak laning phase, Lone Druid absolutely overpowers him in the early to mid game. Lone Druid also directly counters most of his abilities.
* Flux is nullified when the Spirit Bear is nearby.
* 
Spark Wraith can get soaked by the bear.
* Lone Druid can easily go inside Magnetic Field and punish Zet.
Arc Warden
* None of Arc Warden's abilities are very effective against Broodmother and her spiderlings.
* A good Broodmother looks to end the match early while Arc Warden, a very item reliant hero, thrives in longer matches.
* Arc Warden has no innate disables to stop Broodmother from lifestealing with 
Insatiable Hunger and shredding through his relatively lower armor.
Arc Warden
* Chain Frost can deliver high amounts of damage to Arc Warden and his double if they do not separate fast from each other.
Abaddon
* 
Astral Imprisonment wastes Borrowed Time's duration.
* Outworld Destroyer's 
Sanity's Eclipse can kill Abaddon before Borrowed Time triggers due to the lack of intelligence for Abaddon.
Arc Warden
* Arc Warden cannot take Centaur Warrunner very easily, and his nukes are not strong enough to deal with Centaur Warrunner.
* Centaur Warrunner deals huge AoE damage and applies an AoE disable through Hoof Stomp, affecting the double as well the main Arc Warden.
* Magnetic Field is not very effective against melee heroes. And to make things worse, Magnetic Field also increases Arc Warden and his allies's attack speed, meaning Retaliate will deal more damage.
* Stampede catches Arc Warden easily due to his lack of escape mechanisms. However, Arc Warden can counter this problem with 
Gleipnir, which is a common item on Arc Warden.
Arc Warden
* Flux is severely impaired against Meepo because of 
Divided We Stand.
* Meepo's farming speed and early powerspikes allows him to pressure Arc Warden before he is capable of fighting effectively.
* Without 
Black King Bar, 
Earthbind and 
Poof can finish Arc Warden quickly before he has time to do much.
Abaddon
* Shadow Demon with an Aghanim's Scepter will use 
Demonic Purge to disable Curse of Avernus and the passive component of Borrowed Time. If this is combined with a silence, Borrowed Time will not trigger at all.
* Even without Aghanim's Scepter, he can still waste Borrowed Time with 
Disruption. Curse of Avernus fully works on illusions, turning the passive ability against him.
Arc Warden
* Heroes with summons or illusions can counter Flux, such as 
Beastmaster , 
Chen, or 
Shadow Demon.
Arc Warden
* 
Chaos Knight, 
Lone Druid, 
Meepo and Arc Warden can be hard targets since Shadow Demon's spells are ill-suited to fight many enemies at once.
Abaddon
* 
Ice Blast's nullifies Abaddon healing from Borrowed Time and Mist Coil and it is not dispelled by Aphotic Shield.
Additional:
* Ice Blast nullifies Borrowed Time's and 
Mist Coil's healing.
Abaddon
* {U:Storm} can use 
Cyclone on Abaddon when he activates Borrowed Time, wasting its duration.
* 
Drunken Brawler and 
Thunder Clap hinder Abaddon from applying Curse of Avernus' silence on him.
Additional:
* Dispel Magic can remove Abaddon's Aphotic Shield or Curse of Avernus on an allied hero.
* Cyclone's lengthy duration wastes much of Borrowed Time's duration.
Arc Warden
* 
Smoke Screen combined with 
Diffusal Blade leaves Arc Warden effectively useless for a while as he struggles to escape the silence with low mobility.
* With Arc Warden's low mobility, 
Tricks of the Trade often deal decent damage to him before he moves out of it.
Arc Warden
* Arc Warden can't use Magnetic Field to stall the damage of 
Nether Blast on towers, but he can buy 
Aghanim's Shard to diminish its damage.
* Arc Warden has no innate disables to stop 
Life Drain and 
Decrepify
* The short cooldown of both Life Drain and Decrepify also means Pugna can deal with Arc Warden and Arc Warden's clone simultaneously most of the time
* A good Pugna looks to end the match early while Arc Warden, a very item reliant hero, thrives in longer matches.
Arc Warden
* Storm Spirit can hunt down Arc Warden with his 
Ball Lightning and kill him quickly due to his lack of escape abilities.
* None of his abilities are effective against Storm Spirit, as they can be evaded with Ball Lightning.
Arc Warden
* Magnetic Field is useless against melee heroes, so Lycan can attack Arc Warden without missing.
* Flux doesn't affect Lycan that much, because Shapeshift grants immunity to slows and because he is never alone.
* If their 
Tempest Double has been called, Lycan can still kill Arc Warden before the double expires.
Abaddon
* Abaddon can be killed without triggering his ultimate Borrowed Time due to the break applied by 
Sharpshooter.
Arc Warden
* Invoker's 
Forge Spirit can negate Flux.
* Provided he does a right combo with 
Chaos Meteor, Invoker can easily burst down Arc Warden (plus his clone if he spawns it.)
* An early 
Orchid Malevolence can shut down Arc Warden pretty hard, especially when Invoker has a good lane against him if he kills him early on.
* 
Deafening Blast and 
Ice Wall limit's Arc Wardens mobility and damage, crippling him greatly.
Arc Warden
* Arc Warden has relatively lower armor and mobility, which makes him an easy target to apply 
Quill Spray and 
Viscous Nasal Goo stacks.
* Arc Warden also does not like to build a 
Silver Edge as it takes a long time to build up and may slow down the timings for other important items needed in the game like Gleipnir.
* However, do note that in a game where Arc Warden's team has many jumping capabilities or good passives, like a 
Tidehunter or 
Spectre, a Silver Edge becomes incredibly valuable on Arc Warden as not only can he run away from the jumps, he effectively gets 2 breaks, and Bristleback may not be the best pick.
Arc Warden
* 
Doppelganger dispels Flux.
* 
Phantom Rush closes the distance between Phantom Lancer and Arc Warden.
* 
Juxtapose can overwhelm Arc Warden and nullify his kit which is only effective against isolated enemies.
Additional:
* One of Arc Warden's hardest counters, Arc Warden, who has primarily single target damage, will struggle tremendously against Phantom Lancer:
* Flux is paused if even one illusion remains near Phantom Lancer. It can also be dispelled with Doppelganger.
* Phantom Lancer can also easily dodge an activated Spark Wraith, or use his illusions to trigger it safely.
* Phantom Rush allows Lancer to quickly close gap to get inside of Arc Warden's Magnetic Field.
* Phantom Lancer and his clones are able to quickly drain Arc Warden of his mana with a Diffusal Blade. This means Warden's Tempest Double will also be summoned without mana.
Abaddon
* Heroes that have long silences, such as 
Night Stalker and 
Silencer, will prevent Abaddon from saving his allies effectively and disable the active component of Borrowed Time.
Arc Warden
* Melee carries who usually buy an early Black King Bar, and have gap closing abilities can be good against the Arc Warden, such as 
Slark, 
Riki, 
Earthshaker with Aghanim's Scepter, 
Sven with Aghanim's Scepter etc.
Arc Warden
* Heroes with good escape mechanisms are a nuisance to deal with in the early phase of the game: Slark, 
Lifestealer, 
Morphling
Arc Warden
* Melee carries who usually buy an early Black King Bar, and have gap closing abilities can be good against the Arc Warden, such as Slark, Riki, Earthshaker with Aghanim's Scepter, Sven with Aghanim's Scepter etc.
Arc Warden
* A well-timed use of The Swarm provides vision over heroes with high mobility: 
Anti-Mage, Arc Warden, 
Dark Seer.
Abaddon
* Heroes who cannot fight back during Arena of Blood in the early and mid game: 
Abaddon, Anti-Mage, 
Broodmother, 
Luna, 
Sniper, 
Troll Warlord, 
Weaver, 
Clinkz.
Abaddon
* Lina is a common 
Eul's Scepter of Divinity carrier which can waste some duration of Borrowed Time and following up with 
Laguna Blade if timed correctly.
Abaddon
* Both 
Lion's 
Finger of Death and 
Lina's Laguna Blade have a 0.25 second delay before the damage is dealt.
Abaddon
* Because 
Poison Attack has almost no cooldown, Aphotic Shield is ineffective as a hard dispel.
* 
Viper Strike can prevent Borrowed Time from activating passively and block Curse of Avernus.
Additional:
* Because Poison Attack has almost no cooldown, Aphotic Shield is ineffective as a hard dispel.
* Viper Strike can prevent Borrowed Time from activating passively and block Curse of Avernus.
Arc Warden
* Ranged heroes will have a hard time hitting enemies inside Magnetic Field: Silencer, 
Viper.
Arc Warden
* Rolling Thunder hits Arc Warden, his Tempest Double and any allies through Magnetic Field.
* Rolling Thunder also causes Pangolier to take no damage from existing stacks of Flux as well as clear all Spark Wraiths on the way.
Arc Warden
* Powerful physical hitters that can destroy Pangolier during his rolling from afar: 
Drow Ranger, Sniper, 
Templar Assassin, Arc Warden
Abaddon
* 
Sacred Arrow can be instantly dispelled by Aphotic Shield.
Additional:
* Abaddon can remove Sacred Arrow's stun from his teammates with Aphotic Shield, or remove it from himself with Borrowed Time.
* Borrowed Time makes Abaddon almost impossible to burst down with Mirana's Aghanim's Scepter combo.
Arc Warden
* Arc Warden can use his summons to prevent Sacred Arrow from hitting himself or his allies.
* Mirana doesn't build items that give armor often, so she usually can't fight against a late game Arc Warden.
Additional:
* Flux will slow and damage Mirana even after she Leaps, since she will likely not be near allies.
* Arc Warden can place Magnetic Field on an ally who has been hit by Sacred Arrow to protect them.
Abaddon
* Heroes that deal damage over time will also fail to bring down Abaddon and his allies, such as 
Huskar, 
Venomancer, or 
Phoenix.
Arc Warden
* Tempest Double, Magnetic Field's attack speed bonus, and Arc Warden's high attack range will easily destroy a Phoenix using 
Supernova much faster than usual.
* Phoenix is very weak against pushers, especially those like Arc Warden who can kill him easily, as his skillset works best in teamfights.
Additional:
* His Tempest Double is not an illusion, but rather a full hero unit, which effectively reduces half of the Supernova's health. His Magnetic Field can tremendously boost his attack speed, allowing him to destroy Supernova in no time even when he's affected by 
Fire Spirits.
Abaddon
* If 
Rupture is used on Abaddon, Abaddon can use Borrowed Time and easily heal for the duration of Borrowed Time by simply moving.
Additional:
* Borrowed Time makes Abaddon nearly impossible to gank.
* Aphotic Shield and Mist Coil prevents Bloodseeker from gaining his Thirst bonuses.
Arc Warden
* Heroes with illusion and clone abilities may confuse Bloodseeker, causing him to waste time in fights: 
Phantom Lancer, Chaos Knight, Arc Warden
Arc Warden
* Heroes who rely on summons will see them destroyed easily by Overwhelming Odds: 
Lycan, Arc Warden, 
Warlock, Chen
Abaddon
* If he isn't broken (break), Abaddon can use Borrowed Time to waste Legion Commander's 
Duel, As Borrowed Time has a shorter cooldown, Legion Commander can't win duels, effectively reducing her targets by one, Duel also means that Borrowed Time heals Abaddon for the duration of the duel, as Legion can't stop attacking.
Additional:
* Aphotic Shield and Mist Coil makes it hard for Legion Commander to kill Abaddon's teammates in Duels.
* Borrowed Time makes Abaddon nearly impossible to kill in Duels, and often replenishes much of his health because Legion Commander cannot manually stop attacking during Duels.
Arc Warden
* Magnetic Field prevents Legion Commander from getting wins with Duel.
Additional:
* Magnetic Field prevents Legion Commander from easily gaining wins with Duel.
Abaddon
* Heroes that deal damage over time will also fail to bring down Abaddon and his allies, such as Huskar, Venomancer, or Phoenix.
Additional:
* Borrowed Time & Aphotic Shield can dispel Venomous Gale and Poison Sting.
Arc Warden
* Any hero that can outrange Plague Ward can neutralize them without putting themselves at risk of receiving Poison Sting: Arc Warden, Chen, Clinkz, Drow Ranger, Lina, 
Mirana, 
Nature's Prophet, 
Pugna and Sniper.
* Special mention to heroes that outrange Plague Ward after obtaining talents that increase attack range.
Abaddon
* Heroes that deal damage over time will also fail to bring down Abaddon and his allies, such as Huskar, Venomancer, or Phoenix.
Additional:
* Huskar's damage over time gives Abaddon the opportunity to shield and heal his allies.
* Borrowed Time also makes Abaddon a hard support to gank, thus negating Huskar's early game dominance.
Arc Warden
* Heroes with illusions can overwhelm Huskar: Phantom Lancer, Anti-Mage, Arc Warden, Chaos Knight.
Abaddon
* In general, heroes that deal burst in multiple instances will trigger Borrowed Time and heal Abaddon for a large amount, such as 
Skywrath Mage, 
Techies, 
Juggernaut, 
Shadow Shaman, or 
Ogre Magi.
Arc Warden
* Arc Warden's Tempest Double is helpful for killing Ogre Magi who lacks AoE damage and disables.
Abaddon
* By simply using Aphotic Shield, Abaddon can easily save his allies from heroes that apply long disables, such as Lion or Shadow Shaman.
Arc Warden
* Arc Warden with his Magnetic Field will protect allies from Mass Serpent Ward.
Abaddon
* Aphotic Shield prevents damage and dispels the slow from Snapfire's 
Mortimer Kisses.
* Borrowed Time allows Abaddon to gain HP during Snapfire's Mortimer Kisses.
Arc Warden
* Heroes that have doubles or clones such as Arc Warden, Meepo or Lone Druid are vulnerable to Muerta's 
Gunslinger.
Abaddon
* Borrowed Time mitigates the damage by Pierce the Veil for most of its duration.
* Muerta has no control over Gunslinger, making her one of the best heroes for Abaddon to regenerate from via Borrowed Time.
Arc Warden
* Heroes with high physical and magical damage alike are a huge hazard for Muerta, as they can deal serious damage to her even if she has 
Pierce the Veil active: Luna, Lina, 
Tusk, Broodmother, 
Shadow Fiend, 
Ember Spirit, 
Gyrocopter, 
Vengeful Spirit, Arc Warden, 
Medusa, Shadow Shaman.
Abaddon
* Aphotic Shield makes it less likely for allies to be killed by mines.
* Because they explode in very short intervals, a stack of 
Remote Mines will always trigger Borrowed Time, making them impossible to kill Abaddon unless his resistances are lowered enough or Abaddon is affected by Break.
* Abaddon can easily dispel the long-lasting root of 
Stasis Trap on himself and on an ally, while at the same also providing protection against the other mines' damage.
Additional:
* Borrowed Time's automatic activation will help Abaddon survive a field of Proximity Mines or a Blast Off combo. However, the damage from a single mine can kill him if his HP is low enough.
* Aphotic Shield's can easily break Techies' Etheral Blade combo.
Arc Warden
* Magnetic Field makes 
Impetus miss; if Enchantress decides to enter the field, she is giving up bonus damage since Impetus deals greater damage at higher distance away from targets.
Arc Warden
* Flux removes 
Refraction charges very quickly, and Arc Warden can hit her freely with his better attack animation, speed and range. If she tries to mute in her creep wave, Spark Wraith can quickly kill the ranged creep, forcing her to stay near the melee creeps, again, allowing for easy right clicks.
* With Tempest Double, Arc Warden can easily output 1000 damage (with the stacking of Flux and Spark Wraith and kill Templar Assassin within seconds. She cannot avoid this combo as Spark Wraith will still hit her in 
Meld.
* A good Arc Warden can destroy the item timings of a Templar Assassin, and mitigate her impact during the mid-game, when she is the strongest.
* In the late game, if Templar Assassin tries to split push with Aghanim's Scepter, Arc Warden's double can always threaten to kill her if equipped with a 
Bloodthorn and a 
Blink Dagger , or a 
Hurricane Pike, forcing her to have to use Black King Bar to survive.
* Quick reactions can also protect Arc Warden and his allies from Meld strike with Magnetic Field, and if equipped with a Hurricane Pike, Arc Warden can double force himself away from the attacking Templar Assassin to safety, where after her Black King Bar ends, she can die to Arc Warden's right clicks.
Arc Warden
* Magnetic Field evades most of Gyrocopter's attacks.
Arc Warden
* Phase Shift is not an advantage against Arc Warden at all because Arc Warden can turn Puck's Phase Shift ability against him by using Spark Wraith, ensuring it to hit. To make this worse, Arc Warden can do it twice with his Tempest Double.
* Flux is also an instant spell (and therefore unavoidable) with a heavy slow and damage over time, which disables Blink Dagger for a certain period of time.
Arc Warden
* Magnetic Field's evasion completely negates Sniper's attacks unless he has True Strike.
* Sniper always positions himself far away from battles, which makes him especially vulnerable for Flux and Spark Wraith.
Abaddon
* Abaddon can cast Aphotic Shield on any of his allies to immediately dispel Corrosive Haze and/or the stun and the slow components of Slithereen Crush.
* All of Slardar's debuffs are also removed if Abaddon's Borrowed Time triggers.
Abaddon
* If he isn't silenced, Abaddon can use Borrowed Time to escape 
Reaper's Scythe during the delay.
Abaddon
* Borrowed Time allows him to both exit his stuns prematurely and turn Trample into healing for himself. His Aghanim Scepter only prevents the automation of the spell, Abaddon himself can still manually activate it.
* Aphotic Shield will immediately debuff any stuns Primal Beast has put on allies but won't stop him from being stunned if casted on Abaddon.
Arc Warden
* Sonic Wave is a bad choice in abilities if he and the Tempest Double both use 
Blade Mail to reflect the damage to Queen of Pain, potentially killing her outright if her health is low enough.
* Magnetic Field protects himself or his ally from Queen of Pain's attacks unless she has 
Monkey King Bar.
* One more advantage of Tempest Double is that he can deny himself if he is close to death with Shadow Strike's debuff.
Arc Warden
* Magnetic Field protects Arc Warden and allies from Drow Ranger's ranged attacks. She most likely will not enter the field since she will lose 
Marksmanship's bonus agility.
* Beware however, as Marksmanship procs will still hit since they have True Strike, so the most damaging arrows will still hit you inside Magnetic Field.
Additional:
* Flux along with Spark Wraith allows Arc Warden to quickly burst down Drow Ranger due to her low health.
* However, Drow Ranger can bypass Magnetic Field's evasion bonus thanks to Marksmanship.
Arc Warden
* Magnetic Field lets Arc Warden or allies evade Dark Willow's shadow realm attacks. The duration of the evasion can be extended with the clone.
* Spark Wraith also exploits Dark Willow's low mobility.
Abaddon
* Aphotic Shield dispels Thunder Strike.
* Mist Coil can be used to heal an ally trapped by Static Storm-Kinetic Field combo.
* Borrowed Time makes Abaddon nearly impossible to gank.
Abaddon
* 
Exorcism will continuously heal Abaddon under Borrowed Time, and cannot be turned off.
* {Ability ID:Spirit Siphon|Death Prophet} will continuously heal Abaddon under Borrowed Time, for a percentage of his maximum health.
Abaddon
* Aphotic Shield is a strong dispel, meaning it can save allies from Earth Spirit's stun, slow, silence, and Magnetize.
* Borrowed Time makes it nearly impossible for Earth Spirit to kill Abaddon.
Abaddon
* 
Nightmare and 
Fiend's Grip can be instantly dispelled by Aphotic Shield.
* Bane lacks mobility, therefore becoming helpless when silenced by Curse of Avernus.
Additional:
* Aphotic Shield applies a strong dispel on the allied target and can be used to remove both Fiend's Grip & Nightmare.
* Borrowed Time applies a strong dispel on Abaddon and can instantly remove both Fiend's Grip & Nightmare when activated.
* Bane, when caught by Curse of Avernus will struggle to escape because of his innately low mobility.
Abaddon
* Borrowed Time can give Abaddon a second chance after a Black Hole combo.
* Aphotic Shield can be used to save allies or Abaddon himself from Malefice.
* Abaddon can easily heal himself as well as his allies during a team fight, especially with Aghanim's Scepter upgraded Borrowed Time.
Arc Warden
* He can use either his own or his double's Flux to bypass the spellblock from Linken's Sphere, using the leftover Flux + Spark Wraith to slow Medusa's already low move speed to a crawl.
* Arc Warden has a farming advantage with double 
Hand of Midas, and can generally bully Medusa with other items that benefit from duplication.
Abaddon
* Reflection will cause Abaddon to be afflicted by his own Curse of Avernus, silencing and slowing him. The reflection is also hard to avoid, as it cannot be killed, only dispelled.
Abaddon
* Heroes who can negate effects of Sunder: 
Faceless Void's 
Time Walk, Weaver's 
Time Lapse, Broodmother's Insatiable Hunger, Abaddon's Borrowed Time and Troll Warlord's 
Battle Trance can nullify Sunder.
Arc Warden
* 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.
Abaddon
* Any hero who can survive Magnus's initiations and manfight him: Huskar, Faceless Void, Weaver, Abaddon, Troll Warlord, 
Alchemist, 
Dragon Knight, Night Stalker, Viper.
Abaddon
* Both Lion's Finger of Death and Lina's Laguna Blade have a 0.25 second delay before the damage is dealt.
Additional:
* Aphotic Shield applies strong dispel on targeted allies, while Borrowed Time does the same on Abaddon himself upon both casts (manually or automatically), removing disables, such as 
Earth Spike and 
Hex.
* Abaddon may offer survivability to Lion's nuke power by shielding and healing allies and himself.
* Lack of inner escape and defensive mechanisms increases Curse of Avernus effectiveness, since it slows per stack (applied upon auto attacking), and silences when it reaches the maximum stack.
Abaddon
* Abaddon's constant heals and protection can save himself and his allies from burst-focused heroes, such as 
Legion Commander, Faceless Void, and 
Pudge.
Additional:
* Mist Coil and Aphotic Shield enable Abaddon to keep an ally alive during Chronosphere.
* Borrowed Time prevents Faceless Void from killing Abaddon during his Chronosphere.
Abaddon
* Abaddon's constant heals and protection can save himself and his allies from burst-focused heroes, such as Legion Commander, Faceless Void, and Pudge.
Additional:
* Abaddon can activate Borrowed Time to dispel Dismember; breaking the disable and potentially allowing Abaddon to escape.
* Aphotic Shield can be cast on an ally to dispel the stun of Dismember, which can make kills difficult to secure, given that Dismember is Pudge's only reliable disable.
* Pudge lacks a mobility without a Blink Dagger, causing him to be easily chased with Curse of Avernus. The silence also prevents him from toggling off his Rot.
Arc Warden
* Heroes that can slow Charge of Darkness by a huge amount: Venomancer, Viper, 
Dazzle, Arc Warden, Lion, Huskar, Shadow Shaman, 
Visage, 
Undying, 
Jakiro.
Arc Warden
* Arc Warden's Magnetic Field dodges all damage from Death Ward.
Abaddon
* In general, heroes that deal burst in multiple instances will trigger Borrowed Time and heal Abaddon for a large amount, such as Skywrath Mage, Techies, Juggernaut, Shadow Shaman, or Ogre Magi.
Abaddon
* Heroes that can purge his slow and disables are very difficult to go on and their team: Abaddon, 
Oracle.
Abaddon
* In general, heroes that deal burst in multiple instances will trigger Borrowed Time and heal Abaddon for a large amount, such as Skywrath Mage, Techies, Juggernaut, Shadow Shaman, or Ogre Magi.
Additional:
* Aphotic Shield removes silences, slows and stuns, possibly foiling a full-duration Mystic Flare.
* Borrowed Time makes it impossible to burst Abaddon down, even healing him up due to Mystic Flare's damage.
Abaddon
* Clockwerk lacks burst damage, and that makes him vulnerable to heroes who can recover themselves and turn the fight around to their advantage after Clockwerk finishes his initiation. Additionally, Clockwerk hates buying 
Dagon and 
Ethereal Blade, which are the only itmes that can help him deal with heroes who can recover themselves and turn the fight around to their advantage: Faceless Void, 
Terrorblade, 
Ursa, Weaver, Broodmother, Slark, Abaddon, 
Wraith King, Lifestealer.
Abaddon
* Abaddon with Aphotic Shield and Borrowed Time
* Heroes that can remove the Track debuff with their skills:

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.
Arc Warden
* Heroes with summons or illusions can counter Flux, such as Beastmaster , Chen, or Shadow Demon.
Abaddon
* 
Primal Roar can be instantly dispelled by Aphotic Shield.
* The debuffs from 
Wild Axes and 
Poison from 
Call of the Wild: Boar can also be dispelled by Aphotic Shield.
Additional:
* Aphotic Shield effectively nullifies Primal Roar's single-target initiation on allies.
* Even being initiated by Primal Roar, Borrowed Time can make Abaddon extremely difficult to kill.
Arc Warden
* Heroes with good escape mechanisms are a nuisance to deal with in the early phase of the game: Slark, Lifestealer, Morphling
Arc Warden
* Arc Warden can counter Morphling's strong pushing capabilities by using Magnetic Field to protect buildings.
* Arc Warden also often builds an Orchid Malevolence or Bloodthorn, which can prove dangerous for Morphling.
* Arc Warden can easily break 
Linken's Sphere with Flux and then slow him with Spark Wraith, making Arc Warden's Tempest Double a legitimate threat as well.
Arc Warden
* Heroes with summons or illusions can counter Flux, such as Beastmaster , Chen, or Shadow Demon.
Additional:
* Chen in the early game is a faster pusher than Arc Warden until Arc Warden buys Maelstrom.
Abaddon
* Aphotic Shield can nullify Chen's combo, while clearing Chen's creeps simultaneously.
Abaddon
* 
Nyx Assassin might not kill Abaddon with his nuke, but a support Abaddon will struggle to protect an ally from him.
Abaddon
* 
Impale and 
Spiked Carapace stun can be instantly dispelled by Aphotic Shield.
* Abaddon can use Borrowed Time and easily heal for the duration of Borrowed Time by Nyx's burst damage.
Arc Warden
* Luna's Moon Glaives allow her to clear Arc Warden's Tempest Double.
* Luna's short range and fast movement speed allow her to fight Arc Warden inside his Magnetic Field.
Additional:
* Luna's Moon Glaives allow her to clear Arc Warden's Tempest Double.
* Luna's short range and fast movement speed allow her to fight Arc Warden inside his Magnetic Field.
Abaddon
* Every hero that can withstand or prevent Eclipse at level 7: Juggernaut, Riki, Clockwerk, Drow Ranger, Abaddon, Faceless Void, Weaver, 
Outworld Destroyer.
Arc Warden
* 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.
Arc Warden
* Batrider can harass Arc Warden more easily with 
Sticky Napalm thanks to it's low cooldown and mana cost and because of Arc Warden's lower durability and mobility.
* Batrider can use 
Flamebreak to push Arc Warden and Tempest Double out of the Magnetic Field.
* With 
Firefly combined with Blink Dagger, Batrider can move faster while dealing damage to both Arc Warden and Tempest Double.
* 
Flaming Lasso allows Batrider to separate Arc Warden from both Magnetic Field and Tempest Double and pull him towards Batrider's team. Aghanim's Scepter upgraded Flaming Lasso also allows Batrider to disable both, real Arc Warden and his Tempest Double and pull them towards Batrider's team. And since Arc Warden is not used to buy Linken's Sphere, this can be a great problem to him.
* Since Arc Warden is not used to buy Black King Bar very ofthen In most of the stages of the game, he will be vulnerable to Batrider's magical damage-over-time output in most of the stages of the game.
