Wild Axes and 
Poison from 
Call of the Wild: Boar can also be dispelled by Aphotic Shield.
Techies
* 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.

Proximity Mines safely.

Rage lets him clear Proximity Mines without taking damage, and allows him to hit heroes whom Techies has used Reactive Tazer on.

Techies
* Techies spends lots of time standing still planting stacks of 
Land Mines away from creep waves.
* Sacred Arrow can be used to scout hidden Land Mines among trees and at uphill places. It can also be used to catch Techies while he's planting them.

Drums of Slom can deal high damage to Chen and clear waves of his creeps.

Aghanim's Shard.
* However, Chen's converted creeps can trigger Proximity Mines, wasting them.
Beastmaster

Sunder.
Beastmaster
* Heroes with Linken's Sphere as core item: Weaver, Morphling, Medusa.
