* With 
Dark Ascension and 
Gem of True Sight, Night Stalker can find and kill Mirana, and he is a tanky hero capable of fighting Mirana any stage of the game.
Mirana

* Arc Warden can place 
Magnetic Field on an ally who has been hit by Sacred Arrow to protect them.
Bane

Enfeeble less effective against him, although it will still reduce his cast range.
* An ill-timed Nightmare can give Jakiro a good setup for all of his ablities.
* Jakiro can easily cancel Fiend's Grip with 
Ice Path, as Bane is very easy target while channeling it.
* Aghanim's Scepter upgraded 
Macropyre can deal pure damage-over-time and pierce spell immunity, which can discourage Bane from even trying to use Fiend's Grip.

Gush, but not of 
Anchor Smash or 
Ravage, and thanks again to Kraken Shell, is easily dispellable for him in team fights.

Bane
* Fiend's Grip is a powerful but channeled ability, making it useful and easy to 
Spell Steal and interrupt with 
Telekinesis.
* Stolen Fiend's Grip or Nightmare combined with 
Arcane Supremacy allows Rubick to disable Bane's allies for a longer period of time.
* As a natural Aghanim's Scepter carrier, Rubick can steal an upgraded Fiend's Grip and deal lots of damage to Bane's allies.
Bane
* Though Bane's Enfeeble can weaken Luna's physical damage output, it still does not weaken her magical damage output.

Mirana
* A couple of long-range heroes with excellent laning like Mirana,

* Moonlight Shadow also allows Mirana's team to surprise Morphling while he tries to push towers.
* Mirana usually buys Linken's Sphere to protect herself from single-target abilities, making Morphling's Adaptive Strike and 
Ethereal Blade harder to use on her.

* Mirana can dodge 
Gust with good reaction time, or Leap away if Drow tries to slow her without Gust.

Gleipnir or 
Mjollnir.
* Fiend's Grip can disable Chen or any of his allies and often finish them before he can save them with 
Hand of God. And to make things worse, Chen has no way to cancel Fiend's Grip on his own, and must rely on outside from {U:Centaur Conqueror} or {U:Mud Golem} under his control.
Mirana
* Heroes that can instantly kill creeps greatly reduce the effectiveness of Chen's converted army: 
Lifestealer,

* Enfeeble highly reduces regeneration granted by reactive armor.

Land Mines away from creep waves.

Frostbite has already been used, Mirana can Leap away even when slowed by 
Crystal Nova or Freezing Field.
Bane
* Fiend's Grip provides mana drain, which can heavily damage 
Mana Shield and prevent Medusa from using 
Stone Gaze.
* Even if she does use Stone Gaze, Nightmare can buy enough time to protect allies and reset the fight.
Additional:
* Fiend's Grip leaves Medusa defenseless, since not only does it deal damage, it also drains mana.
Bane
* Fiend's Grip and Nightmare are very useful to lock down Void Spirit.
* Brain Sap can be difficult for Void Spirit to deal with in the laning stage.
Bane
* Bane can use Nightmare and Fiend's Grip to lock down Ursa early game and in team fights, forcing Ursa to buy a Black King Bar and making him very vulnerable to being kited once his Black King Bar is down to 6 seconds.

* Bane can also prevent Brewmaster from using Primal Split with his long disables.
Bane
* Enfeeble weakens Viper's attack damage, any healing he receives and his cast range, which makes him unable to harass enemy heroes with Nethertoxin, Poison Attack and Viper Strike.
* Viper's Corrosive Skin is useless against Bane as all of his damaging abilities deal Pure damage.
* Viper has no solutions to cancel Fiend's Grip and in addition, he hates buying disabling items like Eul's Scepter of Divinity.
Mirana
* Leap allows Mirana to easily escape the freezing range of Cold Feet. Mirana also tends to build Manta Style which dispels Cold Feet.
* During Moonlight Shadow, the invisibility makes it hard to catch Mirana's team with Ice Blast.

Coup De Grace will also suffer from attack damage reduction as well. Enfeeble also reduces any healing Phantom Assassin receives, making her unable to heal herself with Phantom Strike, and it also reduces cast range of Phantom Assassin's abilities, making her unable to harass with 
Stifling Dagger and to use 
Phantom Strike at longer distances.

Additional:
* Nightmare and Fiend's Grip help to control/disable Troll Warlord in team-fights.
Mirana
* Mirana can destroy Tombstone, and evade zombies using Leap and Moonlight Shadow's invisibility.

Mirana
* Heroes who rely on invisibility, such as Bounty Hunter, Clinkz, Mirana, Nyx Assassin and Riki, as they will be revealed if caught by Chronosphere.
Bane
* If Bane is outside 
Chronosphere, he can use Nightmare or Fiend's Grip to cripple Faceless Void inside.
* Nightmare and Fiend's Grip are long duration disables and can render 
Time Walk's mobility very unreliable.
Bane
* Heroes with strong dispels can dispel Bane's disables from their allies: Oracle, Legion Commander, Omniknight.
Mirana
* 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.
Bane
* Bane has powerful single-target abilities that can help his allies win Duels, or at least cripple Legion Commander for the duration.
* Nightmare can waste Duel's entire duration as the dueled units transfer the Nightmare back and forth. This may be prevented if a non-Dueling unit attacks the Nightmared Dueler.
Additional:
* Enfeeble, Nightmare and Fiend's Grip all prevent Legion Commander from winning Duels, especially when Bane has Blink Dagger.
Mirana
* Heroes that cannot move in fights such as a Dueling Legion Commander or anyone channeling a spell like Bane, Pudge, or Enigma are easy Sacred Arrow targets.
Bane
* Heroes with illusions and summons can swarm Bane, who has no area abilities outside from Aghanim's Shard upgraded Brain Sap: Broodmother, Chaos Knight, Naga Siren, Nature's Prophet, Phantom Lancer, Terrorblade, Visage, Warlock, Wraith King.
Additional:
* One of Terrorblade's illusions can be used to absorb damage and disable Nightmare.
* Terrorblade's large amount of illusions can make it difficult to pinpoint and target the real Terrorblade with Fiend's Grip. But bear in mind that Bane can counter this with Aghanim's Shard upgraded Brain Sap and by farming Mjollnir, although it can be hard to play Bane as carry and farm Mjollnir on him.
* However, bear in mind that illusions from 
Conjure Image have different colors than other illusions which can be seen even by enemy team, and that can make it easy for Bane to detect real Terrorblade unless Terrorblade buys Manta Style.
Bane
* Low-health, normally mobile carries with a lot of damage are vulnerable to Bane's nukes and disables: Anti-Mage, Clinkz, Drow Ranger, Faceless Void, Gyrocopter, Juggernaut, Luna, Meepo, Mirana, Monkey King, Morphling, Phantom Assassin, Phantom Lancer, Riki, Shadow Fiend, Slark, Sniper, Terrorblade, Troll Warlord, Weaver.
Mirana
* Heroes with silences and hard stuns such as Doom, 
Silencer, and Lion can keep Mirana from Leaping away.
Mirana
* Lion lacks mobility or escape mechanisms, making him an easy target for abilities like Mirana's Sacred Arrow or Leshrac's 
Split Earth, or combos like Kunkka's 
X Marks the Spot into 
Torrent.
Mirana
* Heroes that have superior mobility that can easily catch up with Mirana even after she used Leap to escape: Anti-Mage, Queen of Pain, Storm Spirit, Riki.
Bane
* Wraith King, Medusa, Storm Spirit and other mana dependent heroes will have diminished impact on a fight if they survive Fiend's Grip due to its mana steal.
Bane
* In general, attacks of the melee heroes who are entirely reliant on dealing physical damage and/or have very little to no area-of-effect abilities will make Underlord tickle and will have no effect against him, and will be unable to ambush Underlord and his team if Underlord chooses to use 
Fiend's GAte to get to a designated point of the map: Phantom Assassin, Terrorblade, Troll Warlord, Drow Ranger, Phantom Lancer, Chaos Knight, 
Sven, Wraith King, Bounty Hunter,

Mirana
* Heroes with silences and hard stuns such as Doom, Silencer, and Lion can keep Mirana from Leaping away.
Bane
* Heroes that can disable or silence Silencer for a long time, such as Bane and Legion Commander, can lock down Silencer while their allies put him down.
Mirana
* Mirana cannot use Leap while rooted by Earthbind and her Moonlight Shadow is countered by Meepo's true sight that is provided by Earthbind.
Additional:
* 
Earthbind prevents Mirana from Leaping or going invisible with Moonlight Shadow. She can be easily killed by 
Poof and 
Ransack while disabled.
* Landing a Sacred Arrow on Meepo does not render him helpless, as all of the other Meepos can still fight back.

Mirana
* Though Mirana can clear waves of Broodmother's spiderlings with
Starstorm, Broodmother will often stick with her spiderlings from 
Spawn Spiderlings, which in combination with the huge speed provided by 
Spin Web can make it hard for Mirana to hit her with 
Sacred Arrow.
