Dazzle
* 
Shallow Grave prevents Ice Blast's shatter for up to 5 seconds, but can mostly only delay it as Ice Blast's debuff lasts 10 seconds and prevents 
Shadow Wave from healing them.
Additional:
* 
Ice Blast negates healing from Shadow Wave, and lasts longer than Shallow Grave.
Dazzle
* 
Astral Imprisonment is a versatile nuisance:
* If it is cast on a low-enough-health unit at least 1 second into Shallow Grave's duration, the Shallow Grave will end during the imprisonment, and the target will take lethal damage when released.
* It can be used remove Dazzle from the fight at a time he could have saved someone.
* It lets himself or an ally dodge all of Poison Touch's effects, for long enough to recover their 
Blink Dagger.
Centaur Warrunner
* Centaur has nothing to deal with 
Refraction that will negate all of his burst damage.
* 
Psionic Traps provide good vision, making for him harder to initiate.
Centaur Warrunner
* 
Kinetic Field and 
Glimpse can completely negate Stampede.
Centaur Warrunner
* Decay can be good against Centaur Warrunner, as reducing the health of Centaur can make 
Double Edge risky.
* His zombies do not proc 
Retaliate, as it only procs for regular attacks.
Dazzle
* A well-timed 
Global Silence prevents Dazzle from saving allies with Shallow Grave or Shadow Wave. Items that could dispel the silence are expensive, and difficult for Dazzle to farm from a support role.
* 
Arcane Curse and 
Last Word cause long damage over time, which may outlast Shallow Grave.
Dazzle
* Culling Blade ignores the protection from Shallow Grave and will kill any target whose health is low enough. This makes Axe one of the hardest counters to Dazzle, and he neutralizes one of Dazzle's most important abilities.
Additional:
* 
Culling Blade kills any target under the health threshold, even through Shallow Grave.
Dazzle
* Pugna can turn out to be an effective hero against Dazzle due to the fact that he does not allow him to extend his 
Poison Touch with his 
Decrepify, which is why Dazzle cannot keep the enemy under prolonged deceleration.
* Pugna has a very strong ability against casters with a small health reserve - 
Nether Ward, which is why heroes like Dazzle will not be able to constantly throw their Poison Touch 
Bad Juju and Shadow Wave at enemies under the action of Nether Ward or will be forced to take a lot of damage

Centaur Warrunner
* 
X Marks the Spot negates Stampede.
Centaur Warrunner
* Luna's 
Moon Glaives will not trigger Retaliate if they hit some other target first. Also Luna commonly buys items that provide lifesteal such as 
Satanic, which lets her heal from the damage of Retaliate, meaning that Retaliate has little effect against her.
* 
Eclipse can be used to counter-initiate against Centaur Warrunner after he jumps in with Blink Dagger, and initiates with 
Hoof Stomp. But remember that Centaur Warrunner can resolve this problem by buying 
Hood of Defiance and it's upgrade 
Pipe of Insight to diminish its damage. Or 
Blade Mail to reflect the damage of the Eclipse back at Luna.
* Luna also commonly buys 
Black King Bar, which will allow her to protect herself from both, Centaur Warrunner's abilities (except for the Retaliate), and damage reflect from Blade Mail.
Additional:
* Luna's Moon Glaives will not trigger Retaliate if they hit some other target first. Also Luna commonly buys items that provide lifesteal such as Satanic, which lets her heal from the damage of Retaliate, meaning that Retaliate has limited effect against her.

Centaur Warrunner
* 
Winter Wyvern's 
Arctic Burn can also be a useful tool against Centaur, who generally has very high health. 
Winter's Curse on Centaur can cause Retaliate to damage allies who are forced to attack him.
Dazzle
* Some heroes with extreme range, like 
Zeus, 
Invoker or 
Clockwerk, can snipe your allies from anywhere after your Grave has expired.
Centaur Warrunner
* 
Battery Assault easily interrupts Centaur Warrunner due to his poor cast animation.
* 
Power Cogs can negate Stampede.
Dazzle
* 
Aghanim's Shard upgraded Poison Touch can be used to hex Clockwerk, silencing him, disarming him, slowing him, and muting him, and thus rendering him unable to use Blade Mail to return damage or to do anything at all.
* Shadow Wave will hit Clockwerk every time when he's fighting with an enemy inside Power Cogs.
* Due to Clockwerk's very low damage output, Dazzle will have more than enough time to Shallow Grave any enemy hero Clockwerk initiates on.
Additional:
* Shadow Wave will hit Clockwerk every time when he's fighting with an enemy inside Power Cogs.
* Due to Clockwerk's steady damage output, Dazzle has plenty of time to Shallow Grave anyone Clockwerk initiates on.
Dazzle
* Support heroes with low mobility can be slowed further by Incapacitating Bite, and swarmed by Spiderlings for an easy kill: 
Shadow Shaman, 
Visage, 
Dazzle, 
Rubick, 
Lich.
Dazzle
* Some heroes with extreme range, like Zeus, Invoker or Clockwerk, can snipe your allies from anywhere after your Grave has expired.
Dazzle
* Spectre's entire ability set is designed to get to and destroy heroes that stay in the backlines, both carries (like the aforementioned 
Drow Ranger and 
Sniper) and supports (like Dazzle and Shadow Shaman).
Dazzle
* Heroes with high burst damage through their physical attacks or spells can kill Dazzle or his allies before he has a chance to use Shallow Grave. (
Lina, 
Lion, etc.)

Additional:
* Laguna Blade can kill Dazzle quickly before he casts Shallow Grave.
Dazzle
* Aghanim's Shard upgraded Poison Touch can be used to easily kill many of Terrorblade's illusions from both 
Conjure Image and 
Manta Style, it can also hex the real Terrorblade, silencing him, disarming him, slowing him, muting him and rendering him unable to do anything at all.
* Shallow Grave can be used to save an ally whom Terrorblade has used 
Sunder on under the condition Dazzle is quick enough to do it. And since Terrorblade has no "real" burst damage potential outside from Sunder, Dazzle will usually have plenty of time to save an allied hero on which Sunder was used.
* Shadow Wave will always damage Terrorblade and his illusions whenever Terrorblade has no 
Metamorphosis available to use, while healing Dazzle's allies. 
Aghanim's Scepter upgraded Shadow Wave can also be used directly on Terrorblade, and bounce on both Terrorblade and his illusions alike, causing them to take damage and to be attacked by Dazzle. Shadow Wave can also pierce throught debuff immunity by Black King Bar, one of the items Terrorblade relies on to survive in teamfights.
* Bad Juju can weaken Terrorblade's armor every time Dazzle casts a spell while strengthening armor of Dazzle's allies.

* Bad Juju can weaken Terrorblade's armor every time Dazzle casts a spell while strengthening armor of Dazzle's allies.
Centaur Warrunner
* As Terrorblade's damage output comes mainly from direct attacks, he will struggle greatly against heroes who have abilities that give evasion, trigger on attack or which can disarm an enemy hero: 
Centaur Warrunner, 
Hoodwink, 
Huskar, Invoker, 
Leshrac with 
Nihilism from Aghanim's Scepter, 
Lifestealer with Aghanim's Scepter upgraded 
Infest, 
Pangolier, 
Phantom Assassin, 
Pugna, 
Techies, 
Windranger etc.
Dazzle
* Shallow Grave can prevent the death of an ally that is trapped inside the Chronosphere.
* Shadow Wave lets Dazzle heal allies and damage enemies from outside Chronosphere.
Centaur Warrunner
* Heroes that can stop Faceless Void from leaping around the fight and controlling its outcome are very strong against him. Heroes such as: 
Axe, Centaur Warrunner, 
Doom...
Dazzle
* Poison Touch allows Dazzle to harass both, Io and it's tethered target on lane. Aghanim's Shard upgraded Poison Touch can also hex both, Io and it's tethered target, preventing them from escaping with Relocate, and also disarming them, silencing them, muting them and rendering them helpless against Dazzle and his allies.
* Io's damage output is one of the weakest, therefore Dazzle will have plenty of time to save an ally with Shallow Grave from gank by Io and it's tethered target.
* Shadow Wave will always hit both, Io and it's tethered target if they are near the ally Dazzle uses Shadow Wave on, while healing Dazzle's allies near them. Aghanim's Scepter upgraded Shadow Wave can bounce on both, Io and it's tethered target, causing them both to take damage and to be attacked by Dazzle. And unlike Io who doesn't get healed while using Tether, Shadow Wave will always heal Dazzle no matter on which of his allies he uses it on.
* Bad Juju will cause both, Io and it's tethered target to lose armor every time Dazzle casts a spell while strengthening armor of Dazzle's allies.
Additional:
* Poison Touch allows Dazzle to harass both, Io and it's 
Tethered target on lane. Aghanim's Shard upgraded Poison Touch can also hex both, Io and it's Tethered target, preventing them from escaping with Relocate, and also disarming them, silencing them, muting them and rendering them helpless against Dazzle and his allies.

* Bad Juju will cause both, Io and it's tethered target to lose armor every time Dazzle casts a spell while strengthening armor of Dazzle's allies.
Centaur Warrunner
* Heroes that are hard to gank: Axe, 
Death Prophet, 
Phantom Lancer, 
Slark, Centaur Warrunner, 
Bristleback, 
Medusa, 
Mars.
Dazzle
* Heroes with armor reducing abilities greatly hinder Visage's defense like 
Slardar and Dazzle.
Centaur Warrunner
* Centaur Warrunner's passive Retaliate makes it so that the familiars cannot attack him without damaging themselves over time, in turn causing them to be destroyed.
Dazzle
* Once he buys Aghanim's Shard, Dazzle's Poison Touch can hex enemies, and hex can instantly kill illusions, making Dazzle strong against heroes who rely on illusions. Bear in mind that 
Chaos Knight is the exception because his 
Phantasms are strong illusions that are immune to abilities that can instantly kill illusions.
Centaur Warrunner
* Heroes who are reliant on illusions: Chaos Knight, Phantom Lancer, 
Naga Siren.
Dazzle
* Poison Touch severely slows down Chen, deals damage over time and weakens his armor every time he gets attacked by Dazzle or any of his allies. Aghanim's Shard upgraded Poison Touch can hex Chen and prevent him from saving his allies with 
Hand of God.
* Neither Chen nor his converted creeps have burst damage at all, so Dazzle will always have plenty of time to save his allies with Shallow Grave.
* Dazzle can use Shadow Wave can heal his allies, kill Chen's creeps and damage Chen himself.
* Bad Juju can weaken Chen's armor, and the armor of his creeps every time Dazzle casts a spell while strengthening armor of Dazzle's allies.
Centaur Warrunner
* Pangolier will proc Retaliate several times if he attempts to use 
Swashbuckle on Centaur Warrunner.
* Centaur can cast Stampede to allow all of his allies to easily avoid 
Rolling Thunder.
* Centaur's tankiness makes it hard for Pangolier to burst him down in the late game.
Additional:
* When Swashbuckle hits Centaur Warrunner, Retaliate will deal significant damage, as it procs off every strike made.
* 
Stampede helps allies avoid or disengage from Pangolier during Rolling Thunder, as well as neutralizing the slow debuff from Lucky Shot.
Centaur Warrunner
* 
Focus Fire grants Windranger a massive attack speed bonus, while her attack damage is generally quite low. This, combined with Windranger's low health pool and armor, makes Retaliate do absolutely massive damage over a short time, making Centaur a hero she can never expect to kill or harass.
* 
Windrun grants evasion, but Centaur Warrunner does not rely on successful attacks in order to do damage. Hoof Stomp, Double Edge, and Stampede all do large amounts of magical damage and can completely demolish Windranger in a moment.
Additional:
* Stampede can help his teammates escape from Windrun and Focus Fire.
* Retaliate will shred through Windranger's health if she chooses to attack him during Focus Fire.
Centaur Warrunner
* Centaur can use Stampede to break Static Link. It also prevents Razor from chasing Centaur Warruner or his teammates with Eye of the Storm, and Plasma Field's slow will do nothing to slow them down.
Centaur Warrunner
* 
Headshot and 
Shrapnel slow is ineffective against a team with haste (which Stampede gives).
* Commonly picked up mobility items and hasted movement during his Stampede (as well as his high health pool) make him extremely hard to kill from a distance, damaging Sniper with Retaliate and Blade Mail if he has one.
* A low health pool and no escape mechanism makes him an easy target for Centaur Warrunner's burst damage and initiation (even making his team possible initiators with Stampede).
Centaur Warrunner
* A good Centaur can catch Queen of Pain with a Blink Dagger and Hoof Stomp.
* Retaliate with Blade Mail reflects all of Queen of Pain's damage, especially Sonic Wave.
* Stampede grants a movement speed bonus, which can prevent Queen of Pain from initiating.
* Double Edge can shred her low health pool if she's not careful.
Dazzle
* Venomancer's damage-over-time abilities are easier to heal through with numerous Shadow Waves than other types of damage, and it's simple to time a Shallow Grave until the last possible second to save a teammate from them.
Centaur Warrunner
* Stampede can allow Soulbinded heroes to just ran away.
Centaur Warrunner
* 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.
Dazzle
* Shallow Grave prevents Legion Commander from killing her opponents in Duels.
* Shadow Wave will heal an ally caught in a Duel, as well as dealing damage to Legion Commander.
Centaur Warrunner
* Centaur's low Intelligence makes 
Mind Flare do low damage.
* With some creative skill builds, Centaur's Hoof Stomp stun duration should always last longer than 
Spiked Carapace stun, so escaping unscathed is hard for Nyx.
* With Blink Dagger and detection, Centaur can devastate Nyx in the open.
* However, bear in mind that Nyx can also easily initiate on Centaur Warrunner as well if he uses Spiked Carapace in anticipation, and with 
Vendetta. The damage from Retaliate will be reflected back to Centaur Warrunner, stunning him with no chance to react after he's revealed himself, and should guarantee a successful 
Impale.
Dazzle
* Dazzle easily breaks the position of Lone Druid and his 
Summon Spirit Bear with his Poison Touch, As it always hits from afar and prolongs the slowdown on the Summon Spirit Bear, which is why he cannot catch up with Dazzle and treat his master with 
Spirit Link
* Dazzle helps his team survive the physical attacks of the Summon Spirit Bear thanks to the treatment from Shadow Wave and armor from Bad Juju, which can enable his team to kill Lone Druid
* The Lone Druid Summon Spirit Bear has a small amount of armor at the start of the game, because of Mid Dazzle, it can very much break through it and prevent Lone Druid from gaining an advantage at the very beginning of the game, giving his team the opportunity to overtake Lone Druid on items for killing him, by type: 
Spirit Vessel

Dazzle
* Shadow Wave provides good sustain against Tinker's spammable abilities.
* Shallow Grave can stop Tinker from bursting down a target.
Dazzle
* Dazzle's lack of a true disable makes him a relatively vulnerable target for Phantom Assassin.
* Coup de Grace will often kill Dazzle's teammates before he has a chance to use Shallow Grave.
Dazzle
* Hex abilities prevent attacking, ability and item usage, which is a severe problem for Phantom Assassin as it prevents her from using Black King Bar, the one item that helps protect her against the aforementioned dangers. Doom and 
Shadow Demon with Aghanim's Scepter also disables Phantom Assassin's Evasion and Critical Strike, removing much of her damage and survivabaility: Doom, 
Disruptor with Aghanim's Scepter, Dazzle with Aghanim's Shard
Centaur Warrunner
* Hoof Stomp and Double Edge can often burst down Phantom Assassin from early to mid game.
* Retaliate makes it very unlikely for Phantom Assassin to win the lane against Warrunner. Double Edge can also be used to wear her down, as she has a much smaller health pool than that of Centaur Warrunner until purchasing a 
Ring of Health. 
Stifling Dagger will also trigger Retaliate and 
Blur cannot evade Retaliate.
* Centaur Warrunner's tankiness in combination with armour items that Axe often purchases like Blade Mail, 
Crimson Guard, 
Assault Cuirass and 
Shiva's Guard can make Phantom Assassin's attacks only tickle Centaur Warrunner.
* Centaur Warrunner just has to be careful about 
Fan of Knives from Aghanim's Shard and 
Coup De Grace, as Fan of Knives can disable Retaliate even if Centaur Warrunner is spell immune.

Centaur Warrunner
* Heroes with haste can negate Enchant's slow: 
Weaver, 
Dark Seer, 
Lycan, Centaur Warrunner.
Dazzle
* 
Mirror Image's illusions can easily walk straight at Dazzle and attack him, due to Dazzle's lack of reliable AoE nukes or disables.
* 
Ensnare roots Dazzle or his allies, making it harder to stay in range of Dazzle's saving abilities.
* 
Song of the Siren can be used to initiate a fight with superior positioning, potentially zoning Dazzle's high-impact spells out of the fight.
Dazzle
* Dazzle can instantly destroy all of Naga Siren's illusions from Mirror Image with Aghanim's Shard upgraded Poison Touch used on her or any of her illusions.
Centaur Warrunner
* Heroes who are reliant on illusions: Chaos Knight, Phantom Lancer, Naga Siren.
Additional:
* Centaur's Retaliate will harm all attacking enemies, which will allow Centaur Warrunner to see which is the real Naga Siren.
* A well timed Hoof Stomp followed by Double Edge will clear all Naga's illusions and prevent Naga Siren from escaping with Song of the Siren.
Dazzle
* Heroes who rely on magical damage resistance may have a hard time laning against Dazzle as all of Dazzle's abilities deal physical damage instead of magical: 
Anti-Mage, Huskar, 
Viper.
Centaur Warrunner
* Heroes that can keep Monkey King stunned for a long time can pose a threat: Axe, Centaur Warrunner.
Dazzle
* Heroes that can save their allies can be a big problem for Mars: Dazzle, 
Omniknight.
Centaur Warrunner
* Heroes who thrive on teamfights can be a problem, such as 
Venomancer, 
Necrophos, Centaur Warrunner...
Centaur Warrunner
* 
Troll Warlord's high speed attack makes Retaliate deal a lot of damage to him.
Centaur Warrunner
* Durable heroes can stand against Tusk during 1v1: Axe, 
Dragon Knight, 
Night Stalker, Centaur Warrunner, 
Wraith King and more.
Dazzle
* Heroes that can deny Slark early kills will prevent him from snowballing: Dazzle, 
Abaddon.
Centaur Warrunner
* Heroes who can match Void Spirit's mobility (like the aforementioned 
Ember Spirit or 
Queen of Pain) or tank his spells (Dragon Knight or Centaur Warrunner) are very problematic for him.
Dazzle
* Heroes that can slow Charge of Darkness by a huge amount: Venomancer, Viper, Dazzle, 
Arc Warden, Lion, Huskar, Shadow Shaman, Visage, 
Undying, 
Jakiro.
Centaur Warrunner
* Night Stalker is all about right-clicks. His nuke, 
Void is also not that threatning once you have Hood of Defiance, your core item.
Dazzle
* Heroes that excel at grouping up with their team very early will be able to take advantage of a Clinkz that tries to pick off heroes that are alone: 
Brewmaster, Dazzle, 
Tidehunter.
Centaur Warrunner
* Axe, Bristleback, Centaur Warrunner, 
Spirit Breaker, 
Pudge, Huskar, Wraith King, Doom: These heroes are too tanky for Puck to burst down. Also, all of them have spells which can deal with and shut Puck down reliably.
Centaur Warrunner
* Heroes who have low or high armor but very high health will be difficult for drow to burst down quickly: 
Primal Beast, Axe, Centaur Warrunner.
Dazzle
* Hex abilities can cancel the channelling of Fiend's Grip : Lion, Shadow Shaman, Dazzle from Aghanim's Shard with upgraded Poison Touch.
Dazzle
* Heroes with abilities that can save teammates are also effective such as Shadow Demon, Dazzle, 
Oracle, 
Bane, Pugna, 
Tusk, Winter Wyvern, 
Io, 
Underlord, 
Treant Protector and 
Keeper of the Light.
Dazzle
* Heroes who rely on magical damage resistance may have a hard time laning against Dazzle as all of Dazzle's abilities deal physical damage instead of magical: Anti-Mage, Huskar, Viper.
Dazzle
* 
Bloodseeker's 
Thirst, 
Rupture, and huge AoE silence 
Blood Rite can fare well against Dazzle.
Dazzle
* Shallow Grave prevents Bloodseeker from replenishing his health by finishing off enemies.
Dazzle
* Although 
Counterspell's passive component doesn't protect Anti-Mage from the physical damage nukes from Poison Touch and Shadow Wave, a well-timed use of it will reflect Poison Touch back to Dazzle, slowing him in the process.
* This can be even more dangerous if Dazzle has an Aghanim's Shard, as Counterspell will reflect the hex back to Dazzle.
* 
Mana Break drains mana, which can be a problem for Dazzle, as all of his abilities have a high mana cost. This makes him especially vulnerable to 
Mana Void.
Dazzle
* Heroes who rely on magical damage resistance may have a hard time laning against Dazzle as all of Dazzle's abilities deal physical damage instead of magical: Anti-Mage, Huskar, Viper.
Centaur Warrunner
* Anti-Mage's Mana Void won't do a lot of damage because Centaur has a low mana pool. Mana Break is also relatively ineffective against him.
Dazzle
* Doom can completely shut down Dazzle through 
Doom, as it prevents him from casting his abilities and, by extension, gaining Bad Juju stacks.
Centaur Warrunner
* Whenever Doom casts his ultimate, Centaur Warrunner can cast Stampede and allow the Doomed hero to run away, wasting Doom's ultimate.
Additional:
* Stampede can be used to free an ally from the grasp of Doom. Without any means of effective lockdown, kills can be difficult to secure when against an enemy Centaur Warrunner. Also, Centaur's tendency to have lots of health and HP regen tend to help counter Doom.
Dazzle
* 
Juxtapose and 
Doppelganger conjures too many illusions for Dazzle to deal with, given he has no inherent movement- or AoE-abilities.
* However, this can be partially solved with Aghanim's Shard-upgraded Poison Touch, as the hex instantly destroys illusions in an area as well as revealing the real Phantom Lancer when he's hiding among his army of illusions.
* 
Phantom Rush and 
Spirit Lance allow Phantom Lancer to trivially catch Dazzle even in the back line of a fight.
* Phantom Lancer has high base armor which counters Dazzle's physical damage based spells in lane.
* 
Diffusal Blade, a core item on Phantom Lancer, drains mana, which can be a problem for Dazzle, as all of his abilities have a high mana cost.
Centaur Warrunner
* His illusions will kill themselves in a few hits because of Retaliate. The nukes from Hoof Stomp and Double-Edge should be enough to clear them for a large portion of the game
* Centaur Warrunner's small mana pool makes Diffusal Blade's damage much lower once Centaur doesn't have any more mana left to burn. Keep in mind that Double Edge does not cost mana.
* Be wary when chasing down Phantom Lancer. Hoof Stomp's terrible cast time makes it quite easy to dodge with Doppelganger.
Additional:
* Hoof Stomp and Double Edge makes short work of Phantom Lancer's illusions.
* Retaliate together with Blade Mail reflects Phanton Lancer's damage and quickly destroys his illusions.
Centaur Warrunner
* With high health and rarely buying 
Linken's Sphere or Black King Bar, Centaur Warrunner is a good target for 
Reaper's Scythe. However, Centaur Warrunner can resolve this problem by buying Hood of Defiance and it's upgrade Pipe of Insight to diminish its damage.
* 
Heartstopper Aura will do well against high health heroes such as Centaur Warrunner.
Dazzle
* Reaper's Scythe is very predictable and gives Dazzle plenty of time to react with Shallow Grave: Dazzle just has to keep a close eye on his allies below 50% health.
* However, Dazzle must be sure to use Shadow Wave on that ally immediately after, or they will die from Heartstopper Aura when the Shallow Grave ends!
Additional:
* Dazzle's Shadow Wave is a spammable healing ability that spreads around his entire team, slowing the death of his teammates as effectively as Necrophos spreads damage to them.
* If not immediately, Shallow Grave delays his ally from gradually dying to Necrophos's abilities, especially Reaper's Scythe.
* However, bear in mind that Dazzle's Poison Touch, Shadow Wave and Bad Juju all deal physical damage, and Dazzle has no abilities to help him deal magical damage at all, which can cause problems for Dazzle to kill Necrophos if he uses Ghost Shroud to protect himself.
Centaur Warrunner
*
Feast is an effective tool against Centaur Warrunner, who generally has high health and low armor, and compensates the reflected damage of Retaliate.
Rage can protect Lifestealer from Hoof Stomp, Double Edge, and Stampede.
Hoof Stomp's slow wind up can also be anticipated and negated with Rage.
Retaliate's damage return simply with Feast. Centaur's high strength gain and therefore big health pool makes him an ideal target to Feast on, especially in the late-game.
* If activated,
Additional:
* Centaur Warrunner's active abilities cannot pierce magic immunity.
* Lifestealer can offset
