Crystal Maiden
* 
Crystal Nova helps on farming while applies an area slow.
* 
Frostbite extends Rubick's lockdown duration while providing extra damage, also serves as a farming ability.
* 
Freezing Field deals much greater damage thanks to 
Arcane Supremacy in teamfights.
* Freezing Field is a channeling ability and therefore can be stolen easily.
* 
Crystal Maiden has no innate ability to interrupt Freezing Field, though it may not be the case for her teammates; Yet a well-times 
Telekinesis lift or drop can interrupt Freezing Field.
* Consider build items that strengthens Freezing Field, such as 
Aghanim's Shard, 
Black King Bar and 
Aghanim's Scepter to reach its full potential.
Lina
* 
Dragon Slave is easy to steal, and provides Rubick with a useful nuke.
* 
Light Strike Array serves as a cheap nuke as well as a crowd control ability.
* Rubick uses the fixed 0.15 second cast time when casting Light Strike Array, much faster than 
Lina herself.
* Rubick can gurantee a stun by throwing the victim into the area with Telekinesis, extending the overall lockdown duration.
* 
Laguna Blade is an awesome ultimate that gives huge burst damage.
* Arcane Supremacy (combined with Level 25 talent +40% Spell Amp For Stolen Spells, as of 7.31c) increases its damage before reduction to a whopping 660/882/1134(830/1162/1494) (and even more so with Aghanim's Scepter), without considering spell amplification from items.
* Laguna Blade is an intelligence hero with no regen ability, and casting Laguna Blade back to Lina can result in her unexpected sudden death, or severly hinder her presence in the rest of teamfight. Nevertheless, the skill can also be cast on other squishy heroes or help bursting down enemy carries.
* Light Strike Array and Laguna Blade has a short cast range, and Rubick can extend its range thanks to Arcane Supremacy.
Crystal Maiden
* Crystal Maiden is extremely fragile and she's an easy target for him. She has no real disables that can lock Ember Spirit down, and all of her skill damage can be negated with Flame Guard. The damage from Searing Chains, Flame Guard, and Sleigh of Fist can easily take her down.
Lina
* Ember Spirit absorbs quite a large amount of magical damage with its 
Flame Guard, and in addition dodges the abilities of Dragon Slave and Light Strike Array with its 
Sleight of Fist
Additional:
* Ember Spirit absorbs quite a large amount of magical damage with its Flame Guard, and in addition dodges the abilities of Dragon Slave and Light Strike Array with its Sleight of Fist
Crystal Maiden
* 
Juggernaut and 
Lifestealer have abilities (
Blade Fury and 
Rage respectively) that prevent Crystal Maiden from using her spells on them in the early game, before Black King Bar and other magical reduction is even an issue.
Additional:
* Crystal Maiden is an ideal target for Lifestealer due to her poor mobility and low health pool. Lifestealer can usually catch up to her simply by casting Rage, as none of her abilities pierce through magic immunity. Freezing Field can potentially make her even more vulnerable to Lifestealer while under Rage as she is even more immobile while channeling it.
* Lifestealer commonly buys 
Abyssal Blade, which allows him to cancel Freezing Field, even if Crystal Maiden is spell immune.
* Alternatively, Aghanim's Scepter upgraded 
Infest combined with Abyssal Blade and with items that provide attack speed which Lifestealer commonly buys allow him to to cancel Freezing Field from within the Crystal Maiden.
Lina
* Rage protects Lifestealer from all of Lina's abilities (except an upgraded Laguna Blade).
* 
Open Wounds is great to keep Lina in place because she has no abilities to help her escape.
Crystal Maiden
* In general, heroes with AoE or long range disables (such as 
Faceless Void with 
Chronosphere, 
Pudge with 
Meat Hook and 
Elder Titan with 
Echo Stomp) hinder Crystal Maiden, preventing her from using Freezing Field to help her team in a fight.
Lina
* 
Time Walk will easily backtrack Lina's burst damage (especially Laguna Blade) if not timed correctly.
* During Chronosphere, squishy heroes like Lina will be main target of Faceless Void in his ultimate.
Crystal Maiden
* Heroes who can easily harass Crystal Maiden out of lane in the early game (
Clinkz, 
Viper) can prevent Crystal Maiden from being able to level effectively, and can ultimately slow down her level 6, 12, and 18 to a point where enemy carries already have items to address her ultimate.
Lina
* 
Nethertoxin prevents buildup of Fiery Soul stacks.
* 
Corrosive Skin provides magic resistance against Lina's spells.
* 
Poison Attack and 
Viper Strike can burn away Lina's small health pool.
Crystal Maiden
* 
Boulder Smash and 
Geomagnetic Grip allow 
Earth Spirit to easily disrupt Freezing Field, regardless of where Crystal Maiden is due to their incredible range. Earth Spirit is quite possibly the best hero for stopping long channeling abilities, and Crystal Maiden is vulnerable to him without a Black King Bar.
* All of Earth Spirit's spells allow him to easily close in on Crystal Maiden and kill her. Since she is a low health support, she generally stays behind in teamfights, but Earth Spirit can easily close the distance.
* Crystal Maiden has low movement speed and no other escape mechanism, rendering her extremely vulnerable to Earth Spirit's arsenal of long-range, damaging spells.
Lina
* Squishy heroes (
Io, Crystal Maiden, Lina...), as Earth Spirit can deal tons of damage with Magnetize.
Crystal Maiden
* As Crystal Maiden is squishy with very bad movement speed, Spectre can easily stay on Crystal Maiden with 
Haunt and 
Spectral Dagger.
* Late game, with enough farm, Spectre can withstand an entire Freezing Field, possibly even causing Crystal Maiden to kill herself from 
Dispersion.
Lina
* Spectral Dagger and Haunt allow Spectre to get close to Lina.
* 
Desolate is very strong against Lina, who's usually a bit isolated in fights because of her high attack and cast range.
* Dispersion can mitigate a good portion of Lina's burst damage, allowing Spectre to turn on her afterwards.
Additional:
* Spectre can very easily close the distance on Lina with Haunt and Spectral Dagger, and due to Lina's abysmal mobility without a 
Blink Dagger and terrible health pool and armor, Lina easily gets slaughtered due Desolate.
* Dispersion can mitigate a good portion of Lina's burst damage, allowing Spectre to turn against her afterwards.
Crystal Maiden
* Heroes the make heavy use of illusions, like 
Chaos Knight, 
Phantom Lancer, 
Terrorblade, or 
Spectre can suffer from Crystal Maiden, as Freezing Field can quickly kill off the entire horde if not stopped.
Crystal Maiden
* Crystal Maiden has a very bad movement speed, so 
Impale is easy to land against her. Furthermore, even while trapped by Frostbite, Nyx Assassin can still cast Impale.
* Crystal Maiden has very low armor, so 
Vendetta is very effective.
* Nyx Assassin has two ways to stop Freezing Field, provided she doesn't get a Black King Bar. He can either pop 
Spiked Carapace and simply walk into the field, or he can use Impale to interrupt the field, since Crystal Maiden has to channel it.
Additional:
* Spiked Carapace easily interrupts Freezing Field.
* Frostbite's damage over time sets up an easy Spiked Carapace stun.
* Crystal Maiden is extremely fragile and dies quickly to Nyx Assassin's burst damage.
Lina
* 
Mind Flare does tons of damage against Lina because of her high intelligence.
* The mana burn from Vendetta also prevents Lina from casting her full combo.
* Spiked Carapace can easily be used to counter Lina's abilities because of their long cast animation, and could probably kill Lina outright if Laguna Blade is reflected.
Lina
* Heroes who build Black King Bar as either core or situational item will be able to fight back against Nyx Assassin and freely attack him as Spiked Carapace cannot pierce spell immunity at all: 
Axe, 
Broodmother, 
Dawnbreaker, 
Enigma, 
Huskar, 
Jakiro, 
Legion Commander, Lina, 
Luna, 
Lycan, 
Slardar, 
Slark, 
Troll Warlord, 
Witch Doctor.
Crystal Maiden
* Puck has both Waning Rift and Dream Coil to stop Freezing Field's channel regardless of whether or not Crystal Maiden has a Glimmer Cape, as both spells fully affect invisible units.
Lina
* Puck dodges the abilities of Lina Dragon Slave and Light Strike Array with his 
Phase Shift skill, which helps him avoid combining these abilities with Laguna Blade and avoid burst damage from Lina
* Puck forbids Lina to use her abilities with the 
Waning Rift ability, which will help her teammates survive and even give them the opportunity to kill her
Additional:
* Puck dodges the abilities of Lina Dragon Slave and Light Strike Array with his Phase Shift skill, which helps him avoid combining these abilities with Laguna Blade and avoid burst damage from Lina
* Puck forbids Lina to use her abilities with the Waning Rift ability, which will help her teammates survive and even give them the opportunity to kill her
Crystal Maiden
* Heroes with mobility spells like 
Queen of Pain, 
Anti-Mage, 
Phantom Assassin, 
Riki, 
Puck, and 
Spirit Breaker that are cancelled by Frostbite can suffer greatly from the presence of Crystal Maiden. It is absolutely critical, however, to have followup from teammates, as all of the above heroes can make quick work of the squishy Crystal Maiden after they are released from her grip.
Crystal Maiden
* Heroes with low mobility that rely on spells: 
Zeus, Lina, Crystal Maiden.
Lina
* Heroes with low mobility that rely on spells: Zeus, Lina, Crystal Maiden.
Crystal Maiden
* Juggernaut and Lifestealer have abilities (Blade Fury and Rage respectively) that prevent Crystal Maiden from using her spells on them in the early game, before Black King Bar and other magical reduction is even an issue.
Lina
* Heroes with spell immunity until Lina takes Laguna Blade damage is pure and pierces spell immunity talent, like Lifestealer with Rage and Juggernaut with Blade Fury.
Crystal Maiden
* Fragile supports who die in a few hits against Sven's high physical damage: Crystal Maiden, 
Vengeful Spirit, 
Dark Willow.
Lina
* Heroes who cannot prevent Sven from killing supports will always be at a disadvantage in fights such as Lina, Slark and Zeus.
Additional:
* Sven has a high health pool and is a natural Black King Bar holder and is very hard to kill for Lina.
* Sven also has high physical damage, making it easy for him to burst her down.
Crystal Maiden
* 
Grave Chill will make Crystal Maiden's bad movement speed even worse.
* 
Soul Assumption charges can easily be stacked up from Freezing Field, allowing Visage to nuke enemies multiple times throughout the fight.
* {U:Familiar}'s 
Stone Form can also be used to interrupt Freezing Field, even while Crystal Maiden is under the effects of 
Glimmer Cape. Crystal Maiden must purchase a Black King Bar, which is far more costly.
Crystal Maiden
* 
Ice Path allows Jakiro to easily cancel Freezing Field.
* Freezing Field makes Crystal Maiden an easy target for all of his abilities without a Black King Bar.
* With the Aghanim's Scepter upgraded Macropyre, Black King Bar becomes nearly useless for Crystal Maiden, as its high pure damage over time, long duration and ability to pierce spell immunity will either force Crystal Maiden to forcefully cancel Freezing Field or even discourage her from using it at all.
Additional:
* Ice Path allows Jakiro to easily cancel Freezing Field.
* Freezing Field makes Crystal Maiden an easy target for all of Jakiro's abilities without a Black King Bar.
* Aghanim's Scepter upgraded 
Macropyre can deal pure damage-over-time and pierce spell immunity, making Black King Bar nearly useless for Crystal Maiden, as its high damage over time and long duration can discourage Crystal Maiden to use Freezing Field. Remember, however, that Crystal Maiden can partially solve this issue by buying Aghanim's Shard, which will allow her to simply walk out of Macropyre.
Crystal Maiden
* Heroes with large health pools (Pudge) or good innate magic resistance (Anti-Mage) can be very problematic for Crystal Maiden, since even if they are under the effect of her ultimate for the entire duration, the damage output is simply not enough to kill or force them to retreat.
Lina
* 
Blink allows Anti-Mage to get on top of Lina and deal damage with his 
Mana Break.
* 
Counterspell makes Anti-Mage tanky against Lina's heavy magic damage.
* A well-timed Counterspell can block and reflect Laguna Blade.
* 
Mana Void is very strong against Lina, who has a high mana pool and quickly depletes it during fights.
Crystal Maiden
* Heroes with mobility spells like Queen of Pain, Anti-Mage, Phantom Assassin, Riki, Puck, and Spirit Breaker that are cancelled by Frostbite can suffer greatly from the presence of Crystal Maiden. It is absolutely critical, however, to have followup from teammates, as all of the above heroes can make quick work of the squishy Crystal Maiden after they are released from her grip.
Crystal Maiden
* 
Duel is a great initiation to target Crystal Maiden with, as it prevents her from using Freezing Field or any other abilities and allowing the enemy team to quickly kill her before she can aid her team in a fight.
Crystal Maiden
* 
Viscous Nasal Goo can hinder Crystal Maiden's already abysmal mobility, which allows Bristleback (or his teammates) to run her down and kill her.
* Bristleback frequently builds 
Blade Mail, which can quickly kill Crystal Maiden if her ultimate is used while he is under its effect.
* The passive part of 
Bristleback will trigger many, many times under the damage from Freezing Field, and as the stacks increase, the damage output from each successive cast (or proc) will eat away at Crystal Maiden's small HP pool.
Lina
* Light Strike Array has a long delay, making her vulnerable for Ursa's burst.
* Enrage can protect Ursa against Lina's high magical burst.
Crystal Maiden
* 
Battery Assault, 
Power Cogs, and 
Hookshot can interrupt Freezing Field, the latter two being able to go through invisibility should Crystal Maiden use Glimmer Cape.
* 
Rocket Flare can be used to find Crystal Maiden should she try to hide in the trees to try to safely cast Freezing Field.
* Hookshot allows 
Clockwerk to easily close in on Crystal Maiden and kill her.
Crystal Maiden
* 
Gush can make Crystal Maiden's already weak armor even weaker.
* 
Kraken Shell can dispel Frostbite, preventing him from getting stuck inside Freezing Field.
* 
Ravage is very useful for interrupting Freezing Field, even while Crystal Maiden is under the effects of Glimmer Cape. Crystal Maiden must purchase a Black King Bar, which is far more costly.
Crystal Maiden
* 
Snowball allows Tusk to easily cancel Freezing Field from a safe distance without putting himself in any danger.
* 
Walrus PUNCH! is most certainly a high enough damage nuke to easily kill off Crystal Maiden.
* 
Ice Shards can prevent the already immobile Crystal Maiden from escaping, making her an easy kill for either Tusk or a teammate.
Additional:
* Crystal Maiden's low health and armor make her an easy target for Walrus PUNCH!
* Tusk's Snowball can protect allies and cancel Freezing Field.
* Snowball and Walrus PUNCH! can interrupt Freezing Field.
Crystal Maiden
* Doom alone can easily pick off Crystal Maiden since she is fairly fragile, even with using only basic attacks, 
Infernal Blade, and 
Scorched Earth.
* 
Doom prevents her from using any abilities in a fight, making her impact negligible.
* 
Devour allows Doom to acquire a stun, allowing him to cancel Freezing Field without having to use Doom.
Crystal Maiden
* Crystal Maiden's already low armor and easily interruptible ultimate, Freezing Field can make Slardar her worst nightmare. Crystal Maiden also often builds Glimmer Cape which is revealed by Corrosive Haze.
Crystal Maiden
* Lone Druid's early game is good against slow, squishy supports since his bear is very strong early game and an Entangling Claws proc almost always guarantees a kill: 
Ancient Apparition, Crystal Maiden, 
Shadow Shaman, etc.
Crystal Maiden
* Heroes with little health or magic resistance are easily picked off with Oracle's magic burst, such as 
Skywrath Mage, Crystal Maiden, or 
Enchantress.
Crystal Maiden
* In general, heroes with AoE or long range disables (such as Faceless Void with Chronosphere, Pudge with Meat Hook and Elder Titan with Echo Stomp) hinder Crystal Maiden, preventing her from using Freezing Field to help her team in a fight.
Crystal Maiden
* Any hero with a low HP pool is easy for Tinker to nuke down: Crystal Maiden, Enchantress, 
Gyrocopter, 
Lion, Riki, 
Techies, Terrorblade, 
Necrophos, 
Invoker.
Lina
* Nether Ward will be problematic for heavy nukers and spammers like Skywrath Mage, Lina, Lion and Invoker, but Pugna must not use Decrepify defensively against them as he will be helping them out more than anything.
Crystal Maiden
* Heroes with channeled abilities can be interrupted by a long-range Fissure: Crystal Maiden, Witch Doctor, 
Bane, 
Pugna, Pudge.
Crystal Maiden
* Generally, any fragile heroes will have a hard time dealing with Undying's tankiness, and even more so if Decay is used on them. Some examples are Crystal Maiden and Witch Doctor.
Lina
* Marci can be effective against vulnerable squishy heroes that cannot deal with heroes that jump onto them - 
Sniper, 
Drow Ranger, Lina, 
Rubick, etc.
Crystal Maiden
* Channeling heroes will not go well against Warlock, especially those who build Black King Bar as Warlock's ultimate ability stun goes through spell immunity. E.g.: Crystal Maiden, Witch Doctor, Enigma, etc.
Lina
* Heroes with long animations can be frequently interrupted with Cold Snap: 
Earthshaker, 
Monkey King, 
Shadow Fiend Lina
Crystal Maiden
* Any hero with low mobility and max healthsuch as 
Silencer, Crystal Maiden etc.
Crystal Maiden
* Even with Black King Bar or 
Linken's Sphere, Pudge's Meat Hook can still cancel Crystal Maiden's Freezing Field as she is a very easy target while channeling it.
* Pudge's 
Rot can make Crystal Maiden's already bad movement speed even worse.
* Many stacks of 
Flesh Heap will make it nearly impossible for Crystal Maiden to kill Pudge.
* Pudge's 
Dismember can also be used to cancel Crystal Maiden's Freezing Field, and alternatively, Pudge can also use it to save allies from getting killed by Crystal Maiden and heal them when upgraded with Aghanim's Shard.
* Crystal Maiden is prone to ganks in the lane or in the off-lane without proper vision. Pudge can take advantage of Crystal Maiden's lack of mobility, and gank her often.
Additional:
* Meat Hook can cancel Freezing Field, even if Crystal Maiden has Glimmer Cape.
* She is also slow and fragile, making her a good target for ganking.
Lina
* Heroes with abilities that can pull Lina out of position can easily bring her to their team mates, like 
Batrider with 
Flaming Lasso, Pudge with Meat Hook and Vengeful Spirit with 
Nether Swap.
Lina
* Pudge has low armor and mobility, making him suspectible to her physical attacks (if Lina is the carry).
* Because Dismember is a channeled ability, it can be canceled through Light Strike Array within a distance.
Crystal Maiden
* Heroes with low health are especially vulnerable to Marksmanship's high damage output: Clinkz, Crystal Maiden.
Crystal Maiden
* Fragile supports with low armor are always a good prey, also her Psionic Trap will wear down most attempts to flee with their built-in disables: Silencer, Crystal Maiden, 
Warlock, Ancient Apparition, 
Grimstroke, Witch Doctor
Lina
* Outlanes Lina on the center line thanks to her own 
Psi Blades, which is why the advantage of Lina's long-range attacks become turned against her
* Closes from Lina's magic attacks with her own 
Refraction, which is why Lina can't make her combination: Light Strike Array, Dragon Slave, Laguna Blade and kill Templar Assassin quickly
Additional:
* Outlanes Lina on the center line thanks to her own Psi Blades, which is why the advantage of Lina's long-range attacks become turned against her
* Closes from Lina's magic attacks with her own Refraction, which is why Lina can't make her combination: Light Strike Array, Dragon Slave, Laguna Blade and kill Templar Assassin quickly
Crystal Maiden
* As with other heroes mentioned in this section, Templar Assassin is not a hero that is fully "countered" by Crystal Maiden (the way she is against Viper and Jakiro), however, the proper combination and execution Crystal Maiden's spells, stacked with her team, can most certainly spell the end for Templar Assassin. Though as the later the game goes, and fighting her without team is not the best choice.
* Frostbite can quickly eat away Refraction charges, leaving Templar Assassin vulnerable for the rest of her team to kill.
* Freezing Field will still apply damage to Templar Assassin when she is under the effect of 
Meld, making it an even less viable form of escape until a Blink Dagger is purchased.
* Blink Dagger is also cancelled by all of Crystal Maiden's spells, and the fairly short cooldowns on Frostbite and Crystal Nova make her a great asset to a chase against Templar Assassin.
* This is not to say that Templar Assassin has any difficulty killing off the low armor, low HP pool Crystal Maiden, so fighting her alone is never advised.
Lina
* Heroes with a lot of burst damage, especially those who rely on casting spells: Lina, Zeus.
Crystal Maiden
* Long range disables are really effective against dangerous area controllers and channeling Heroes, like Enigma, Faceless Void or Crystal Maiden, as it may cancel them or prevent enemies from doing further damage while keeping Lion in a relatively safe distance in the warzone.
Lina
* Heroes with abilities that can pull Lina out of position can easily bring her to their team mates, like Batrider with Flaming Lasso, Pudge with Meat Hook and Vengeful Spirit with Nether Swap.
Crystal Maiden
* Smoke Screen effectively disables Crystal Maiden's channeling spell: Freezing Field.
* Due to her low health and armor throughout the game, Riki can kill her easily.
Crystal Maiden
* Frostbite will reveal invisible heroes for its duration, making it a good tool against any such hero (Riki, 
Bounty Hunter, 
Weaver, or Clinkz for example), or as a soft counter to 
Shadow Blade, if it is used first. This can be an amazing tool to ensure that 
Dust of Appearance is used on the unit in question, and not wasted in not catching anything.
Lina
* 
Doppelganger can be used to easily dodge Light Strike Array if timed correctly.
* Phantom Lancer can quickly deplete Lina's mana pool with his illusions and deal massive damage from it simultaneously since Phantom Lancer is a natural 
Diffusal Blade carrier.
Crystal Maiden
* Heroes the make heavy use of illusions, like Chaos Knight, Phantom Lancer, Terrorblade, or Spectre can suffer from Crystal Maiden, as Freezing Field can quickly kill off the entire horde if not stopped.
Crystal Maiden
* 
Mirror Image can dispel Frostbite.
* 
Song of the Siren can stop Freezing Field regardless of any kind of invisibility as well as allow Naga Siren's team to quickly close the gap on Crystal Maiden.
* With Aghanim's Scepter, Naga Siren can get access to 
Reel In ability, which can allow her to pull Crystal Maiden toward herself and her team and cancel Freezing Field even through Black King Bar.
Additional:
* Mirror Image can dispel Frostbite.
* Song of the Siren can stop Freezing Field regardless of any kind of invisibility as well as allow Naga Siren's team to quickly close the gap on Crystal Maiden.
* 
Ensnare allows Naga Siren and her team to quickly catch up with Crystal Maiden and kill her.
* With Aghanim's Scepter, Naga Siren can get access to 
Reel In ability , which can allow her to pull Crystal Maiden toward herself and her team and cancel Freezing Field even through Black King Bar.
Lina
* Since Naga Siren is a hero who barely goes for Black King Bar, she is vulnerable to nukers with strong magical damage and big area-of-effect spells in every game more than any other carry heroes: 
Sand King, Jakiro, 
Leshrac, Lina, Earthshaker, Zeus.
Crystal Maiden
* Phantom's Embrace can silence Crystal Maiden and disrupt Freezing Field's channeling. Her slow movement speed and fragile nature will also make her an easy target for Stroke of Fate and Ink Swell.
Lina
* Heroes with powerful spammable abilities will prove problematic for Grimstroke as Ink Swell does not protect him from them: Zeus, Skywrath Mage, 
Tinker, Lina
Crystal Maiden
* 
Shuriken Toss's stun is useful for cancelling Freezing Field from a distance.
* 
Track can be used for revealing Crystal Maiden when she uses Glimmer Cape.
* 
Jinada does burst physical damage (which is even bigger if dealt under Track's crits), which is effective due to Crystal Maiden's low HP and armor.
* Bounty Hunter likes to stay hidden from the fight and is less likely to get caught by Crystal Maiden's spells.
Crystal Maiden
* Frostbite will reveal invisible heroes for its duration, making it a good tool against any such hero (Riki, Bounty Hunter, Weaver, or Clinkz for example), or as a soft counter to Shadow Blade, if it is used first. This can be an amazing tool to ensure that Dust of Appearance is used on the unit in question, and not wasted in not catching anything.
Crystal Maiden
* Crystal Maiden will be not able to cast her Freezing Field while being constantly stunned by Enigma's 
Malefice.
* Enigma's 
Black Hole can cancel Freezing Field's channeling regardless of her Glimmer Cape and Black King Bar.
Lina
* Heroes who can clear the waves of Enigma's Eidolons: Lina, Luna, Dawnbreaker, Jakiro, Shadow Shaman, 
Death Prophet, 
Keeper of the Light, Invoker, Leshrac, Puck.
Crystal Maiden
* Heroes with strong channeling spells like Crystal Maiden's Freezing Field, Bane's 
Fiend's Grip, and Enigma's Black Hole can easily be interrupted from a long range by Nether Swap, assuming they don't have a Linken's Sphere.
Lina
* Heroes with abilities that can pull Lina out of position can easily bring her to their team mates, like Batrider with Flaming Lasso, Pudge with Meat Hook and Vengeful Spirit with Nether Swap.
Lina
* Lina can burst Vengeful Spirit down, provided she can land Light Strike Array before Vengeful Spirit lands her Magic Missile.
* Laguna Blade deals massive damage, often being enough to kill a squishy Vengeful Spirit.
Crystal Maiden
* While Terrorblade can kill Crystal Maiden due to her low durability with 
Reflection and 
Metamorphosis, Crystal Maiden can do the same to him if he is not careful.
* Crystal Nova and Freezing Field can destroy Terrorblade's Illusions from 
Conjure Image and 
Manta Style while it can also kill Terrorblade from early to mid game if he has no Black King Bar.
* Terrorblade has no disable in his ability set at all and has no solutions to cancel it Freezing Field. In addition, he doesn't like purchasing disabling items like 
Scythe of Vyse or Abyssal Blade, which are the only solutions to deal with Crystal Maiden's Freezing Field outside of Black King Bar.
* Since Crystal Maiden often buys Black King Bar and Glimmer Cape, or it's alternative item Shadow Blade, as well as it's upgrade 
Silver Edge, Terrorblade will rarely have a chance to save himself against Crystal Maiden's damage output with 
Sunder.
Additional:

Lina
* Laguna Blade is one of the best tools to kill Terrorblade before he can use Sunder due to its high magical (pure with Laguna Blade damage is Pure and pierces Spell Immunity talent) burst damage.
* Dragon Slave and Light Strike Array allows Lina to clear Terrorblade's illusions from both, Conjure Image and Manta Style.
Additional:
* Laguna Blade is one of the best tools to kill Terrorblade before he can use Sunder due to its high magical (pure with Laguna Blade damage is Pure and pierces Spell Immunity talent) burst damage.
* Dragon Slave and Light Strike Array allows Lina to clear Terrorblade's illusions from both, Conjure Image and Manta Style.
Crystal Maiden
* Heroes like Enchantress and 
Chen, or heroes that make use of 
Helm of the Dominator are weak to Crystal Maiden, as Frostbite can do wonders against 
Enchant, 
Holy Persuasion, or dominated creeps. Careful though, as an army of carefully controlled creeps (Enchantress and Chen) can hold many stuns that will cancel Freezing Field.
Additional:
* Frostbite does 1000 magical damage to Enchantress's creeps and roots them for 10 seconds, which hinders her ability to gank.
Lina
* Enchantress has pitiful health, and cannot tank Lina's heavy magic damage.
* 
Untouchable is decently countered by Fiery Soul, exposing Enchantress' weakness to physical damage due to her low armor.
* Lina is decent at clearing creeps and can kill Enchantress' creeps quickly.
Additional:
* Enchantress has a very small health pool and cannot tank Lina's heavy magic burst.
* Untouchable is decently countered by 
Fiery Soul, exposing Enchantress's weakness to physical damage due to her low armor.
* Lina is decent at clearing creeps and can kill Enchantress's creeps quickly.
Crystal Maiden
* Heroes with mobility spells like Queen of Pain, Anti-Mage, Phantom Assassin, Riki, Puck, and Spirit Breaker that are cancelled by Frostbite can suffer greatly from the presence of Crystal Maiden. It is absolutely critical, however, to have followup from teammates, as all of the above heroes can make quick work of the squishy Crystal Maiden after they are released from her grip.
Lina
* Lina has a very long range of attack, which completely overlaps the range of Queen of Pain's abilities and attacks, which is why even a single 
Shadow Strike roll can become deplorable, since Lina will shoot Queen of Pain from a long distance before and after the Shadow Strike roll. And with the help of the abilities of Light Strike Array and Laguna Blade, Lina can even kill Queen of Pain because of her small health reserve if she is exposed to a blow

Additional:
* Frostbite roots and disarms Chen's creeps for 10 seconds.
* Crystal Maiden has a lot of AOE damage between Crystal Nova and Freezing Field to clear Chen's creeps out side and during team fights.
Lina
* Lina's high damage burst from Dragon Slave, Light Strike Array and Laguna Blade can easily kill Chen's allies or Chen himself before he can use 
Hand of God.
Additional:
* Lina's high damage burst from Dragon Slave, Light Strike Array and Laguna Blade can easily kill Chen's allies or Chen himself before he can use Hand of God.
Crystal Maiden
* Heroes that mainly use magic damage and carry Black King Bar can be very problematic for Muerta such as Lina, Luna, Pugna, Crystal Maiden, Enigma.
Lina
* Heroes that commonly attack ethereal units will not have any problems against Muerta's Pierce The Veil: Tinker, Jakiro, Lina, Luna, Pugna or 
Ogre Magi.
Crystal Maiden
* Heroes with mobility spells like Queen of Pain, Anti-Mage, Phantom Assassin, Riki, Puck, and Spirit Breaker that are cancelled by Frostbite can suffer greatly from the presence of Crystal Maiden. It is absolutely critical, however, to have followup from teammates, as all of the above heroes can make quick work of the squishy Crystal Maiden after they are released from her grip.
Lina
* Heroes that can cancel Charge of Darkness: Ogre Magi, Earthshaker, Lion, Rubick, Lina, Luna, Jakiro, Dawnbreaker, 
Alchemist, Ogre Magi, Axe, Shadow Shaman, 
Naga Siren, 
Mars, Bane, Pudge, Clockwerk.
Lina
* Dragon Slave deals reliable magic damage during the laning phase against Mars.
* Lina's 
Eul's Scepter of Divinity and Light Strike Array combo can interrupt Mars from being disruptive for a decent amount of time and leave him vulnerable for follow up stuns.
* Laguna Blade deals massive magical damage, and pure damage with Aghanim's Scepter.
Crystal Maiden
* Frostbite kills boars instantly on the laning stage leading to either experience lead or disabling Beastmaster from using Boar
* Crystal Nova nukes and slows down the attack and movement speed of Beastmaster's summons.
* Freezing Field grants improved self armor, nukes and slows down Beastmaster and his summons.
Lina
* Dragon Slave will make quick work of the spawned illusions from Disruption.
* An attempt to save an ally using Disruption can easily become a perfect setup for a Light Strike Array for the enemy.
* Shadow Demon doesn't have the burst damage to take Lina out of the fight quickly, although Demonic Purge can help his allies kill a squishy Lina.
Crystal Maiden
* Heroes with a low health pool (Crystal Maiden, Skywrath Mage etc)
Crystal Maiden
* Heroes with channeling spells because Shadow Fiend has nothing to cancel channeling outside of Requiem of Souls: Bane, Enigma, Pudge, Shadow Shaman, Dawnbreaker, Warlock, Crystal Maiden.
Lina
* Outlanes Shadow Fiend on the central line, due to the fact that Lina's attack range exceeds the range of Shadow Fiend, which makes it difficult for him to fend off her attacks and approach creeps, thus Lina has more level and gold
* Defeats Shadow Fiend` from Burst with a combination of skills: Light Strike Array, Dragon Slave, Laguna Blade, Shadow Fiend does not have a large pool of health before buying an item: 
Satanic , which is why Lina's strong magic damage is enough to kill him quickly

Lina
* Laguna Blade ends Gyrocopter very quickly in the early to mid game.
Lina
* Laguna Blade can kill Dazzle quickly before he casts 
Shallow Grave.
Lina
* 
Guardian Angel is generally useless against Lina as she primarily relies on magical damage. Lina can also dispel it with Eul's Scepter of Divinity as she is a hero who often goes for it. Eul's Scepter of Divinity can later be upgraded into 
Wind Waker, which will allow Lina to escape from Omniknight.
* Laguna Blade can often finish off Omniknight's allies before he can save them with 
Purification and 
Heavenly Grace. This can become even worse once Lina picks Laguna Blade damage is pure and pierces spell immunity talent, which will allow it to ignore both, any form of spell immunity and Guardian Angel.
Lina
* Venomancer has low health, which makes him vulnerable to Lina's heavy magic damage.
* Fiery Soul attack speed bonus removes 
Plague Wards easily in all stages of the game.
Crystal Maiden
* Heroes who can easily harass Crystal Maiden out of lane in the early game (Clinkz, Viper) can prevent Crystal Maiden from being able to level effectively, and can ultimately slow down her level 6, 12, and 18 to a point where enemy carries already have items to address her ultimate.
Crystal Maiden
* Frostbite will reveal invisible heroes for its duration, making it a good tool against any such hero (Riki, Bounty Hunter, Weaver, or Clinkz for example), or as a soft counter to Shadow Blade, if it is used first. This can be an amazing tool to ensure that Dust of Appearance is used on the unit in question, and not wasted in not catching anything.
Lina
* Lina's damage burst can quickly kill Clinkz before he saves them with 
Skeleton Walk.
* Fiery Soul attack speed bonus removes 
Burning Army easily in all stages of the game.
Lina
* Light Strike Array and Dragon Slave allows Lina to destroy trees, countering 
Nature's Guise and 
Eyes in the Forest.
* Lina has many tools to remove 
Living Armor's protection.
Lina
* Light Strike Array catches Meepo and his clones if he tried to gank Lina with 
Earthbind & 
Poof.
* Laguna Blade can quickly kill Meepo and his clones before they escape with Poof.
Lina
* Heroes with high damage output who can burst down Morphling before he has time to use Attribute Shift (Strength Gain), like Lina and Lion.
Additional:
* Light Strike Array catches Morphling while he jumps in from 
Waveform and also prevents Morphling from using his abilities.
* Laguna Blade can kill Morphling quickly before he shifts into 
Attribute Shift (Strength Gain).
Crystal Maiden
* Due to her slow movement speed,heroes with crowd control and slows can shut down Dawnbreaker:Lion, Crystal Maiden ,
Venomancer etc.
Lina
* Since Windranger is bad against magical damage, heroes with continuous magical damage or magical nukes can blast her: Zeus, Tinker, Leshrac, Viper, Skywrath Mage, Lion, Lina, Venomancer.
Crystal Maiden
* Heroes with channeling abilities: Enigma, Witch Doctor, Crystal Maiden.
Lina
* Any hero who can counter-initiate in anticipation without getting caught in Reverse Polarity: 
Sven, 
Omniknight, Enigma, Luna, Naga Siren, Mars, Jakiro, Venomancer, Elder Titan, Faceless Void, Rubick, Keeper of the Light, Pugna, Invoker, Spectre, Alchemist, 
Treant Protector, Lina, 
Oracle, Zeus, Shadow Shaman, 
Phoenix, 
Razor, Huskar, Batrider, 
Kunkka, 
Tidehunter, 
Wraith King, Sand King, 
Medusa, Dawnbreaker.
Lina
* Abilities that can destroy trees can give Hoodwink a disadvantage: 
Timbersaw, 
Windranger, Lina.
Lina
* 
Dark Pact can be cast during the cast animation of Light Strike Array and dispel its stun.
* 
Pounce allows Slark to close the gap to Lina.
* 
Shadow Dance prevents Lina from killing Slark with her Laguna Blade when his HP gets low.
Crystal Maiden
* Though Slark's large damage output is most certainly a concern for the squishy Crystal Maiden, she does perform fairly well against him when coupled with aid from her team.
* Slark has no innate way to cancel Freezing Field, but the common purchase of 
Skull Basher does make Slark a substantially greater threat to Crystal Maiden as the game progresses.
* Freezing Field can still hit Slark while he is under the effect of Shadow Dance, and for the early and mid game, the damage output of Crystal Maiden's ultimate outscales Slark's passive regeneration, making a quick use of Freezing Field as soon as Slark uses Shadow Dance a great way to combat him.
* Crystal Maiden's Frostbite and Crystal Nova are helpful in disabling and slowing the slippery Slark so he can be killed by her teammates.
Lina
* Heroes with heavy magical nukes will take advantage of Slark's poor HP or force him to use Shadow Dance early: Lina, Lion, Zeus
Crystal Maiden
* Heroes who can stop Axe from getting close will severely inhibit his presence in fights: 
Bristleback, Crystal Maiden, Batrider, 
Arc Warden, 
Winter Wyvern, Clockwerk
Crystal Maiden
* Frostbite will reveal invisible heroes for its duration, making it a good tool against any such hero (Riki, Bounty Hunter, Weaver, or Clinkz for example), or as a soft counter to Shadow Blade, if it is used first. This can be an amazing tool to ensure that Dust of Appearance is used on the unit in question, and not wasted in not catching anything.
Lina
* Heroes with summons can find their summons eliminated easily by Lina, like Broodmother, 
Nature's Prophet, and Chen.
Additional:
* Lina can easily prevent Nature's Prophet's Teleportation escape attempts with Light Strike Array, and can clear Sprout's trees instantly.
* Lina's Dragon Slave and Light Strike Array can kill Nature's Prophet's Treants.
Lina
* Heroes who have channeled abilities can be stunned by Light Strike Array, like Witch Doctor with 
Death Ward and Bane's Fiend's Grip.
Lina
* Heavy nukers will do well against Cold Embrace (Lina, Zeus etc).
Lina
* Heroes with summons can find their summons eliminated easily by Lina, like Broodmother, Nature's Prophet, and Chen.
Additional:
* Light Strike Array in combination with Dragon Slave can easily clear Broodmother's spiders.
* Laguna Blade offers extensive damage that can kill Broodmother early on or before she is able to use Insatiable Hunger in attempts to salvage a fight.
Lina
* Heroes who have channeled abilities can be stunned by Light Strike Array, like Witch Doctor with Death Ward and Bane's Fiend's Grip.
Additional:
* Light Strike Array cancels out Death Ward from a long distance.
Lina
* Heroes with either magical, physical or pure damage burst: Bane, 
Ember Spirit, Leshrac, Lina, Luna, 
Nyx Assassin, Phantom Assassin, Skywrath Mage, Tinker, 
Ursa, 
Void Spirit.
Crystal Maiden
* Crystal Maiden's low health pool and slow movement speed make her a tempting and easy target.
* However, it may be wise to build Black King Bar first before attempting to fight her alone, as she can disable you and retaliate with Freezing Field.
Lina
* Fragile support heroes are all ideal targets for the Phantom Assassin. Heroes such as Lina and Witch Doctor are all prime targets that may not be able to react quickly and fight back due to Phantom Assassin's sudden appearance.
Crystal Maiden
* Though certainly not a "hard counter", Crystal Maiden's skillset (magical damage nukes) does pose a substantial threat to Phantom Assassin through the mid game, especially if followed up with engagement by her team.
* A quick use of Freezing Field directly after 
Phantom Strike can leave Phantom Assassin trapped inside the area of effect, capitalizing on Phantom Assassin's relatively low HP pool when she is not protected by 
Blur, and besides Skull Basher, Phantom Assassin hates buying disabling items like Scythe of Vyse or Eul's Scepter of Divinity.
* If Phantom Assassin chooses not to buy a Black King Bar relatively early, the attack slow from Freezing Field can greatly hinder the proc chance of 
Coup de Grace in a teamfight.
* However, Phantom Assassin's massive damage, and her tendency to build both Black King Bar and Skull Basher makes her a formidable foe the later the game goes, and fighting her without a team is almost never a good choice.
Lina
* Laguna Blade is one of the best tools to kill Phantom Assassin before she can do anything in early-to-mid game due to its high magical (pure with Laguna Blade damage is Pure and pierces Spell Immunity talent) burst damage.
* Blur offers no protection against Lina's abilities. Likewise, Lina can counter Blur's evasion by buying either Silver Edge or 
Monkey King Bar.
* Lina just has to be careful about 
Fan of Knives from Aghanim's Shard and Coup De Grace, as Fan of Knives can deal pure damage to Lina and disable Fiery Soul awhile Coup De Grace can deal serious damage to her even if she is spell immune, which may force Lina to buy 
Ethereal Blade to deal with Phantom Assassin.

Crystal Maiden
* Heroes with channeled abilities which Assassinate may cancel at long range: Witch Doctor, Crystal Maiden, Shadow Shaman, Pugna
Lina
* Lina defeats Sniper on the mid, because she has the same attack range as him, and her Dragon Slave ability deals much more damage to creeps, as well as to Sniper himself, than 
Shrapnel, which creates uncomfortable conditions for Sniper to farm on the line, which is why Lina either punches Sniper harder than he either pushes a pack of creeps up to the tower and finishes off his creeps under it, preventing Sniper from earning gold and a level.

Crystal Maiden
* Heroes that have small health pools and little to no escape mechanisms are even easier prey for Necrophos. Ghost Shroud's slow will allow him to catch him with them, and get nuked down with his abilities, even preventing retaliation due to Reaper's Scythe's stun. Such heroes include Crystal Maiden, Witch Doctor, Warlock or Shadow Fiend.
Lina
* Laguna Blade deals amplified magical damage (pure from Aghanim's Scepter) to Necrophos when he is under the effects of 
Ghost Shroud.
Additional:
* Laguna Blade's damage as well as damage from all of Lina's abilities will be greatly amplified during Ghost Shroud.
Crystal Maiden
* Heroes with a low attack speed or are fragile will find themselves unable to deal with Troll Warlord's high physical damage and attack speed, like Crystal Maiden or Sven.
Crystal Maiden
* Frostbite can disarm and root Troll Warlord if he doesn't have a Black King Bar or a Manta Style to dispel it.
* Crystal Nova and Freezing Field both significantly slow Troll Warlord, making him much more vulnerable to ganks or stuns.
* The magical damage from Freezing Field does a large amount of AoE damage, and Troll Warlord is not capable of cancelling Crystal Maiden's channel.
Crystal Maiden
* Vulnerable spellcasters with no escape mechanisms are easy targets for Huskar: 
Lich, Crystal Maiden, Silencer, Keeper of the Light, Venomancer, etc.
Lina
* Lina interrupts Huskar on the center line because of her attack range, she can constantly be at a long distance, punching Huskar with her hand, while Huskar needs a very close distance to use 
Burning Spear
Additional:
* Lina interrupts Huskar on the center line because of her attack range, she can constantly be at a long distance, punching Huskar with her hand, while Huskar needs a very close distance to use Burning Spear
Lina
* Both Lion's 
Finger of Death and Lina's Laguna Blade have a 0.25 second delay before the damage is dealt.
Lina
* 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.
Lina
* Heroes that can close the gap can easily chase her down, such as Timbersaw with 
Timber Chain and Anti-Mage with Blink.
Lina
* Timbersaw has a difficult time against magical and pure damage: Lina, Leshrac, Enchantress, Queen of Pain
Crystal Maiden
* Heroes who rely on channeling abilities can be interrupted in teamfights by Rolling Thunder: Crystal Maiden, Pugna, Witch Doctor
Crystal Maiden
* Heroes with powerful rooting abilities will disable most of Pangolier's skills, a bonus point if it pierces spell immunity since it will also be able to stop Pangolier during his Rolling Thunder: Treant Protector, 
Meepo, Crystal Maiden, Dark Willow, 
Underlord, Naga Siren
Lina
* Storm Spirit can quickly close the distance with Lina using 
Ball Lightning. In addition, Ball Lightning can be used as a way to dodge the abilities of Dragon Slave and Light Strike Array
Additional:
* Storm Spirit can quickly close the distance with Lina using Ball Lightning. In addition, Ball Lightning can be used as a way to dodge the abilities of Dragon Slave and Light Strike Array
Lina
* Lina can win on a line against Storm Spirit because of the range of her abilities and attacks, and Storm Spirit will be forced to survive on such a line, not farm
Additional:

Crystal Maiden
* Sacred Arrow can be used to interrupt Freezing Field from a safe distance, forcing her to cancel it to dodge or get hit.
* Crystal Maiden has very slow movement speed, making her an easy Sacred Arrow target.
* Crystal Maiden has low health and can easily be killed with an Aghanim's Scepter combo or just when hit with an arrow.
* If Frostbite has already been used, Mirana can Leap away even when slowed by Crystal Nova or Freezing Field.
Lina
* Eul's Scepter of Divinity is an item Lina commonly buys, which in combination with and Light Strike Array can disable Mirana if she tries to Leap away.
* Laguna Blade's magical (pure with Laguna Blade damage is Pure and pierces Spell Immunity talent) burst damage takes advantage of Mirana's below average health.
Additional:
* 
Moonlight Shadow does little good against Dragon Slave and Light Strike Array.
* Lina's damage burst can quickly kill Mirana's teammates before she saves them with Moonlight Shadow.
Crystal Maiden
* In the same vein, heroes with silences — especially with the AoE ones like Death Prophet's 
Silence — can also prevent Crystal Maiden from being able to impact a fight.
Lina
* Heroes that can kill Death Prophet with nukes can prevent her from using Exorcism to its full duration or using it at all: Lina, Lion, Puck, 
Morphling.
Crystal Maiden
* Heroes with slow movement speeds and small health pools (supports like Crystal Maiden or Witch Doctor) are easy targets for Phoenix. Should they be inflicted by its DOT debuffs, they will be very quickly killed without even getting a chance to fight back.
Lina
* Any hero with high attack speed will be a threat to Phoenix when it initiates, as they can easily tear down a 
Supernova, perhaps even while debuffed by Fire Spirits: Juggernaut, Clinkz, Troll Warlord, 
Beastmaster, Lina.
Crystal Maiden
* Cold feet can be used to ensure that the full channel of Freezing Field doesn't go off.
Lina
* Lina builds Shadow Blade (and upgrades it into a Silver Edge), which makes it hard for Ancient Apparition to land his abilities.
* Laguna Blade can kill Ancient Apparition easily due to his low health pool and lack of mobility.
Crystal Maiden
* 
Lucent Beam allows Luna to easily cancel Freezing Field.
* Without Black King Bar protection, Lucent Beam and 
Eclipse can make a short work out of Crystal Maiden's abysmal health.
* Skilled Luna will always buy Dust of Appearance, allowing her team to have a vision on Crystal Maiden while invisible and during channeling Freezing Field.
* Even with Black King Bar, Luna can still inflict considerable damage on Crystal Maiden with her attacks, which get empowered with 
Moon Glaives and 
Lunar Blessing, also smart and skilled Luna will buy Abyssal Blade to cancel Freezing Field even through Black King Bar in case of emergency. And since Crystal Maiden rarely buys Linken's Sphere, this can be a very big problem for her.

Forcing Crystal Maiden to buy Linken's Sphere.
Lina
* Lina has very high magic burst damage to use against the low-health-pool Luna. Laguna Blade can also be upgraded with Laguna Blade damage is Pure and pierces Spell Immunity to bypass Black King Bar, making Lina even more of a threat. Luna however, can easily counter this problem with Linken's Sphere, which is a common item for her.
* For the same reasons, Lina makes a very powerful ally for Luna when they are in the same team.
Crystal Maiden
* Innately fragile heroes will die almost instantly to Reality Rift while Chaos Knight has illusions active: Drow Ranger, Bane, Necrophos, Crystal Maiden.
Crystal Maiden
* Heroes the make heavy use of illusions, like Chaos Knight, Phantom Lancer, Terrorblade, or Spectre can suffer from Crystal Maiden, as Freezing Field can quickly kill off the entire horde if not stopped.
Crystal Maiden
* Crystal Maiden is squishy, is heavily spell reliant, has low base Intelligence, and is naturally slow, making her an ideal target for Silencer.
Freezing Field has a similar cooldown to Global Silence, therefore, Freezing Field can almost always be canceled to ruin aggressive Crystal Maiden initiations.
* Crystal Maiden's
Lina
*
Arcane Curse discourages Lina from using her abilities, preventing her from building up Fiery Soul stacks.
Last Word and 
Global Silence are great against Lina for the same reason, as well as interrupting her combos and preventing her from casting spells.
*
