Huskar
* His 
Poison Attack is very useful against Huskar, since he tends to stay at low health.
* 
Nethertoxin disables passive skills like Berserker's Blood.
* It is dangerous for Huskar to jump on Viper because 
Corrosive Skin and 
Viper Strike with the slowdown of movement and attack speed which usually will be deadly for Huskar.
Additional:
* Nethertoxin disables 
Berserker's Blood, which Huskar relies upon for attack speed and healing.
* The damage from 
Burning Spear and 
Life Break is largely absorbed by Corrosive Skin. It also will return some damage, making it risky to use Burning Spears in the laning stage.
* Because Huskar wants to be on low health for Berserker's Blood, he is particularly vulnerable to Poison Attack.
Doom
* The slow applied from Corrosive Skin offsets the movement speed bonus granted by Scorched Earth and the tick-based damage from Infernal Blade and Doom will continually slow Doom down. This allows Viper, much like Sniper, to 'kite' Doom and keep him at a safe distance between the two. Additionally, Corrosive Skin applies an attack-speed slow which is fairly crippling to a hero such as Doom that, naturally, has a high base attack-time, poor agility gain and builds little attack-speed items.
* Since Doom does not disable auto-cast abilities, Viper's Poison Attack will continue to work. Doom may find it hard to close the distance between himself and Viper, and thusly difficult to effectively lockdown and continually deal damage through his abilities.
Huskar
* Chemical Rage mitigates damage from Burning Spear.
Additional:
* 
Chemical Rage negates almost all damage from Burning Spears.
Doom
* Doom's low armor makes him weak against Alchemist's high physical damage output.
Additional:
* Chemical Rage out-heals Doom to a large degree throughout all stages of the game. Should Alchemist be chemically enraged before being Doomed, Alchemist can become a difficult target to effectively lockdown and kill, thanks to the health regeneration and movement speed bonuses granted by his ultimate.
* Alchemist is an ineffective target for Doom. Alchemist isn't totally reliant on his skills to be effective during a teamfight, due to the right-click nature of the hero.
Huskar
* 
Rage renders Lifestealer immune to the damage from Burning Spears.
* 
Feast makes Lifestealer one of few heroes that can outlast Huskar in a one-on-one fight.
Doom
* Feast deals damage and heals Lifestealer based on the target's maximum HP, which is greatly effective against naturally high HP heroes such as Doom.
* Rage allows Lifestealer to become spell immune to negate the magical damage of Infernal Blade and Scorched Earth.
* Doom has no effective means of escape from 
Open Wounds. This is particularly devastating in lane, where Doom may have to play a much more passive, conservative play style as a result.
Huskar
* Huskar's low armor and movement speed make an easy target for Chaos Knight to initiate on with 
Reality Rift and 
Chaos Bolt.
* Beside 
Inner Fire, Huskar has no reliable area of effect ability to clear Phantasm illusions.
* Huskar likes to fight at low health to benefit from his Berserker's Blood, thus vulnerable to Chaos Knight's high burst physical damage.
Additional:
* Chaos Bolt can stun Huskar when he jump in with Life break, giving 4 seconds maximum for Chaos Knight to deliver a beatdown.
* Reality Rift further reduces Huskar's low armor, boosting Chaos Knight's damage even more.
* Berserker's Blood offer no protection against 
Chaos Strike, which deal physical damage.
* 
Phantasm can be used to dispel the disarm from Inner Fire.
* Although Huskar can use this to disarm the illusion instead, buying himself some times.
Doom
* Single-target disablers will have difficulty locking down a Chaos Knight with Phantasm active: 
Bane, 
Beastmaster, 
Bloodseeker, 
Clockwerk, 
Doom, 
Shadow Shaman.
Huskar
* 
Corrosive Haze and 
Bash of the Deep will make short work of Huskar's low armor, even if Slardar is alone.
Huskar
* Heroes with illusions can overwhelm Huskar: 
Phantom Lancer, 
Anti-Mage, 
Arc Warden, 
Chaos Knight.
Doom
* Phantom Lancer's illusions can make it difficult to Doom the original. Should Doom figure out the original hero, the illusions can make it difficult to cast any abilities, as their hitboxes can be used to body-block the Phantom Lancer.
* Phantom Lancer is an ideal 
Diffusal Blade carrier. With it, he can quite easily deplete Doom's already poor mana pool, potentially making him unable to cast his abilities to escape, retaliate or heal.
* Doom lacks any effective ability to clear waves of creeps and illusions, as the vast majority of his abilities are single-target. Without an answer, Doom may find it difficult to deal with Phantom Lancer's presence.
Doom
* Doom's 
Doom marks Phantom Lancer with a highly visible effect, and also silences and mutes him.
* Heroes with undispellable debuffs will help identify the real Phantom Lancer through visual effects or debuff indicators, provided that it was cast on the real Phantom Lancer to begin with:
* Doom's Doom marks Phantom Lancer with a highly visible effect, and also silences and mutes him.
* Bloodseeker's 
Rupture shows a clear red trail effect on the real Phantom Lancer.
* 
Ancient Apparition's 
Ice Blast will only debuff Phantom Lancer and not his illusions.
* 
Grimstroke's 
Soulbind is undispellable.
* 
Shadow Demon's 
Demonic Purge is undispellable.
* 
Monkey King's 
Jingu Mastery is undispellable and puts a big yellow Mark over his head.
Doom
* Wraith King has three passive abilities and only a single active ability, so Doom does not hinder him significantly.
* Doom expires upon death, so it is effectively removed after 
Reincarnation activates.
Additional:
* Even if he is Doomed, Wraith King can tear down Doom with physical attacks, and can still reincarnate as long as it is off-cooldown.
Huskar
* Mass Serpent Ward rips apart Huskar quickly due to his poor armor.
* As soon as Huskar jumps in, he will be vulnerable to Shadow Shaman's disables if he does not have 
Black King Bar.
Huskar
* 
Mirror Image can cause Huskar to Life Break the wrong target.
* 
Rip Tide reduces Huskar's already low armor.
* 
Song of the Siren allows teams to recover from Huskar's initiation, as well as the damage over time from Burning Spears.
Doom
* 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.
Huskar
* Ice Blast prevents Huskar from healing with Berserker's Blood and negates any lifesteal, making him significantly weaker in battle.
* Burning Spear and Life Break cost Huskar his own health, killing him under the effects from Ice Blast.
* Huskar often builds 
Armlet of Mordiggian which can be deadly during Ice Blast.
Additional:
* Ice Blast prevents Huskar from healing, regeneration, health gained from activating an Armlet of Mordiggian and will kill him when his health dips below a threshold. This makes it very dangerous for him to use his abilities.
Huskar
* Brewmaster can use Cyclone to disable Huskar's healer for much longer than most other heroes can, to make Huskar vulnerable.
* Huskar has no way to stop Brewmaster from using Primal Split by himself, but can cut a good amount of his high health away if Huskar's team wants to burst Brewmaster down during a different disable.
Huskar
* He's the kind of hero that likes to remain at low hp, which is perfect for Queen of Pain to burst with Sonic Wave.
* You should be able to blink away after he jumps on you with Life Break.
Huskar
* Huskar is often at low health, providing large Thirst bonuses.
* Life Break triggers Rupture's damage.
Additional:
* Huskar is often at low health, providing large 
Thirst bonuses to Bloodseeker.
* Life Break can trigger Rupture's damage.
* A self applied 
Bloodrage together with Blademail means it's almost suicidal for Huskar to jump on Bloodseeker with Life Break
Huskar
* Shadow Demon's 
Shadow Poison can quickly stack to the point where Huskars generally low health is easily finished off.
* Shadow Demon's 
Disruption can turn Huskar's high attack speed and regeneration against him, It also makes him an easy target for Shadow Poison,
* Shadow Demon commonly builds a 
Meteor Hammer, allowing him to land a heavy stun on Huskar
* Shadow Demon's upgraded Demonic Purge breaks Huskar, It also pierces Spell Immunity, Without his passive for 7 seconds Huskar quickly falls in battle
* However note that Shadow Demon is a squishy target and you can often overwhelm him if he is alone, But he can still Disrupt you to escape
Additional:
* Shadow Poison can quickly stack up on Huskar, And with his naturally low health you don't need as many stacks to be effective.
* Disruption turns Huskars high attack speed against him, They also have the highest survivability as illusions due to his passive Berserker's Blood, It also allows you to put Shadow Poison stacks on him,
* Dissimulate turns Huskar's burning damage against his team, You can cast it on an ally who is taking a bunch of Burning Spear stacks and cause Huskar to take high amounts of damage as well
* Scepter upgraded Demonic Purge is your most effective weapon against him, It's 7 second Break causes him to quickly die in battle
Doom
* Due to the nature of the hero, Sniper is typically situated in the back of the fight, potentially making him a difficult target to initiate on and fight.
* Sniper is largely a right-click hero, and as such isn't as an effective of a Doom target as other heroes.
* Thanks to 
Shrapnel and 
Headshot, Sniper is able to effectively 'kite' Doom, preventing him from closing the distance between the two.
Huskar
* 
Blade Fury makes Juggernaut immune to the damage from Life Break and Burning Spears.
* It can be instantly activated the second Juggernaut sees Huskar flying towards him with Life Break, blocking all damage.
* 
Healing Ward effectively negates any damage-over-time from Burning Spears.
* Huskar has no defense against 
Omnislash and takes heavy damage due to his low armor.
Huskar
* Huskar’s low health play style put him at extreme risk to 
Sharpshooter's extreme damage. In addition, it breaks Berserker's Blood, nullifying Huskar's power source.
Huskar
* Heroes with abilities that reduce armor will make Huskar very vulnerable: 
Weaver, 
Dazzle, 
Bristleback, 
Vengeful Spirit.
Additional:
* Huskar struggles against heroes that output high physical damage due to his low armor. Vengeful Spirit's Wave of Terror and Vengeance Aura help increase the physical damage of her team.
Huskar
* Heroes with low armor and little mobility, like 
Huskar, 
Io, etc. will also have an unfortunate fate.
Huskar
* Heroes with pure damage can kill Huskar when he inevitably gets low on health: 
Outworld Destroyer, 
Silencer.
Additional:
* Outworld Destroyer can dodge Life Break with Astral Imprisonment, leaving him unharmed while Huskar loses HP.
* Sanity's Eclipse can deal massive damage to Huskar before he builds up his Berserker's Blood stacks due to Huskar's low mana pool.
Doom
* Any heroes with low mana pools will die quickly or even instantly to Sanity's Eclipse: Doom, 
Phantom Assassin, 
Troll Warlord.
Doom
* Any heroes with silences can negate the majority of Outworld Destroyer's damage output: 
Death Prophet, 
Night Stalker, 
Drow Ranger, Doom .
Doom
* Heroes with the ability to heal allies, or those with good defensive abilities: 
Chen, Dazzle, Io, 
Oracle, 
Omniknight, 
Witch Doctor, 
Winter Wyvern, 
Abaddon, etc.
Huskar
* Carries that can out damage Huskar will do well against him: 
Legion Commander, 
Faceless Void, Troll Warlord, Phantom Assassin.
Additional:
* Whirling Axes (Melee) provides a 60% miss chance, resulting in Huskar's attacks missing a lot of the time if it isn't dispelled.
* Troll Warlord's Fervor ramps up in a very similar way as Huskar's Berserker's Blood: as soon as Huskar has high enough health regeneration, Troll Warlord has a high enough attack speed to negate it.
Huskar
* Heroes with pure damage can kill Huskar when he inevitably gets low on health: Outworld Destroyer, Silencer.
Doom
* Heroes with low mana pools (eg.Doom and
Tidehunter) will feel the effects of Silencer's Intelligence Steal far more than others.
Huskar
* Vulnerable spellcasters with no escape mechanisms are easy targets for Huskar: 
Lich, 
Crystal Maiden, Silencer, 
Keeper of the Light, 
Venomancer, etc.
Doom
* Heroes with the ability to heal allies, or those with good defensive abilities: Chen, Dazzle, Io, Oracle, Omniknight, Witch Doctor, Winter Wyvern, Abaddon, etc.
Huskar
* Spirit Breaker's stuns pierce spell immunity, making him a good choice against heroes that heavily rely on Black King Bar; Huskar
Huskar
* Carries that can out damage Huskar will do well against him: Legion Commander, Faceless Void, Troll Warlord, Phantom Assassin.
Additional:
* Life Break is almost suicidal when used on Legion Commander, as it invites an instant Duel and Legion Commander herself is a natural 
Blade Mail carrier.
* Huskar's low survivability and mostly on low health make him particularly vulnerable to Legion Commander's high physical damage.
Doom
* Heroes with the ability to heal allies, or those with good defensive abilities: Chen, Dazzle, Io, Oracle, Omniknight, Witch Doctor, Winter Wyvern, Abaddon, etc.
Huskar
* Jumping on Ursa with Life Break is often suicide for Huskar, as he will be immediately bursted down with 
Fury Swipes.
Additional:
* Huskar likes fights with a long duration and is usually at low health, making him vulnerable against Ursa's physical damage.
* Jumping in with Life Break against Ursa is suicide, as Enrage, Overpower, and Fury Swipes will easily shred Huskar.
Doom
* High health heroes (
Axe, Doom) fall fast with Fury Swipes stacks.
Doom
* Doom makes Ursa less disruptive, and it cannot be dispelled with Enrage upgraded with 
Aghanim's Scepter.
Huskar
* Heroes with high magical burst can easily kill Huskar when he is at low health: 
Lion, 
Lina, 
Skywrath Mage
Huskar
* Heroes with high magical burst can easily kill Huskar when he is at low health: Lion, Lina, Skywrath Mage
Doom
* Heroes who often build 
Linken's Sphere: Weaver, 
Morphling, 
Medusa.
Huskar
* Sunder can prevent Terrorblade's or an ally's death by swapping health, making damage-over-time abilities inefficient. Heroes that rely on damage-over-time abilities like Venomancer and Huskar will have a hard time against Sunder.
Doom
* 
Terrorblade can use 
Sunder to save his allies who are Doomed.
Huskar
* 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.
Doom
* Lone Druid is essentially two heroes. Dooming one over the other still leaves Lone Druid or his bear able to do their job during a fight. Additionally, Lone Druid is not hindered as much as other heroes by the silence and mute of Doom since the hero relies more on attacks than abilities.
Additional:
* Doom will be very hestitant to use Doom on the Spirit Bear, and using it on Lone Druid himself will not stop the bear from attacking him especially if True Form has already been used.
* 
Devour does not work on the Spirit Bear and pushes the lane so Lone Druid can safely farm under tower.
Doom
* Besides 
Lone Druid and 
Meepo, Doom is potentially good versus every hero since Doom will render any hero helpless for a prolonged 16 seconds. This is particularly true for fragile heroes that heavily rely on mobility to stay alive.
Doom
* Doom generally does not impede Sven in any way, provided he has activated God's Strength beforehand.
Huskar
* Heroes who can take advantage of God's Strength being on cooldown are also not great matchups, such as 
Templar Assassin, Morphling and Huskar.
Huskar
* Warlock Golems do plenty of physical and pure damage to bring down Huskar when he is at low health. Warlock is always a hazard for Huskar to initiate by using Life Break, because Chaotic Offering can stun him instantly, even when Black King Bar is activated, and allows Warlock's team to gather their wit and retaliate.
* After using Life Break to jump in, Huskar will not have any means to escape Upheaval. Which since he is an attack-dependent hero, this will nullify his impact in fights.
Doom
* Supports with useful teamfight or contribution spells will be helpless against Doom: Dazzle, Oracle, 
Warlock.
Huskar
* 
Untouchable makes it near impossible to stack Burning Spears.
* 
Impetus' pure damage puts an instant end to Huskar's low-health brinkmanship.
Doom
* Doom with the {ValueColor:1|Doom applies Break|25tal} {Symbol:Talent} talent can be useful against heroes with troublesome passive skills while also disabling them for a long time: Phantom Assassin, 
Enchantress, Huskar, 
Underlord.
Additional:
* Devour will easily eating creeps from Enchantress during already cooldown from Devour.
* Even so cooldown from Doom so long, Doom can shut down from Untouchable and can upgrade with Aghanim's Scepter disable all abilities from Enchantress's.
Huskar
* 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.
Doom
* Heroes with the ability to heal allies, or those with good defensive abilities: Chen, Dazzle, Io, Oracle, Omniknight, Witch Doctor, Winter Wyvern, Abaddon, etc.
Doom
* 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.
Huskar
* Heroes with abilities that reduce armor will make Huskar very vulnerable: Weaver, Dazzle, Bristleback, Vengeful Spirit.
Doom
* Heroes who often build Linken's Sphere: Weaver, Morphling, Medusa.
Huskar
* Weaver cannot 
Time Lapse out of Huskar's burn damage.
Huskar
* Heroes with abilities that reduce armor will make Huskar very vulnerable: Weaver, Dazzle, Bristleback, Vengeful Spirit.
Doom
* Heroes with the ability to heal allies, or those with good defensive abilities: Chen, Dazzle, Io, Oracle, Omniknight, Witch Doctor, Winter Wyvern, Abaddon, etc.
Doom
* Doom can completely shut down Dazzle through Doom, as it prevents him from casting his abilities and, by extension, gaining Bad Juju stacks.
Huskar
* Ember Spirit does minimal damage to Huskar until the very late game.
Doom
* Ember Spirit cannot use his 
Activate Fire Remnant to escape while under effect from Doom.
Huskar
* 
Sprout will not protect Nature's Prophet from Huskar if he has already locked on with Life Break.
* Even a farmed Nature's Prophet is usually not durable enough to fight Huskar alone.
Doom
* Doom can eats Nature's Prophet's treants with Devour and gains lots of gold.
* Doom can buy 
Radiance or use his 
Scorched Earth to quickly wipe out a swarm of Treants.
* Doom and a ministun from 
Infernal Blade's prevents Nature's Prophet from escaping with Sprout and Teleportation.
Huskar
* Vulnerable spellcasters with no escape mechanisms are easy targets for Huskar: Lich, Crystal Maiden, Silencer, Keeper of the Light, Venomancer, etc.
Doom
* 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.
Huskar
* Bristleback, Centaur Warrunner, 
Spirit Breaker, 
Pudge, Huskar: 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.
Doom
* Doom can shut down with all abilities and items from Puck is strong escape. Since Doom muted silence activated duration, Puck Can't move freely although Doom build item Aghanim's Scepter.
* Doom will use build item 
Blink Dagger and 
Silver Edge can important from Doom simply catch Puck.
Huskar
* Huskar's burn damage from Burning Spear is incredibly strong against Templar Assassin as it completely cancels out her Refraction from the burning over time which results in making her very vulnerable to ganks and harassments, and in turn forcing her out of the lane.
Doom
* Weak damage but high tick rate or persist in a long time: 
Slark, 
Gyrocopter, 
Queen of Pain, Shadow Shaman (
Shackles), 
Jakiro, Pugna, Doom
* Heroes that can quickly deal damage to her, regardless of how weak they are, can easily break through her Refraction:
* Multiple attackers thanks to summoned units or clones: Meepo, Witch Doctor, 
Lycan, 
Enigma, Shadow Shaman
* Multiple attackers thanks to illusions: Phantom Lancer, Chaos Knight, 
Naga Siren (bonus for her 
Ensnare). Also despite the visual effects, Templar Assassin does not spill damage against illusions or buildings, so she is not a really good hero to clean up illusions.
* Weak damage but high tick rate or persist in a long time: Slark, Gyrocopter, Queen of Pain, Shadow Shaman (Shackles), Jakiro, Pugna, Doom
Huskar
* Earthshaker's stuns will rarely save him once Huskar has initiated on him with Life Break.
* A full initiation combo will not kill Huskar, only lower his health and increase his attack speed.
Doom
* Silencer's 
Global Silence and Doom's Doom makes Earthshaker temporarily useless.
Huskar
* Heroes with damage over time abilities can quickly eat through Gravekeeper's Cloak charges like Huskar, Jakiro and Queen of Pain.
Doom
* Scorched Earth can be used to engage Visage while removing Gravekeeper's Cloak charges.
* Infernal Blade will deal tremendous amounts of damage over time due to Visage's high health pool.
* Doom completely nullifies Gravekeeper's Cloak and prevents Visage from casting spells.
Doom
* Heroes with the ability to heal allies, or those with good defensive abilities: Chen, Dazzle, Io, Oracle, Omniknight, Witch Doctor, Winter Wyvern, Abaddon, etc.
Huskar
* Inner Fire can damage and disarm Chen's creeps.
* Burning Spear's high damage over time that grows stronger the more it stacks can force Chen to use Hand of God prematurely, potentially wasting a chance to save his allies during a teamfight.
* Berserker's Blood makes it impossible for Chen and his creeps to kill Huskar.
* Life Break can deal huge damage to Chen and slow him down.
Doom
* Doom can easily kill Chen's creeps and obtain their abilities with Devour.
* Scorched Earth's area-of-effect can clear multiple of Chen's creeps at once.
* Doom renders Chen completely helpless, and unable to save himself or his allies with 
Hand of God. Aghanim's Scepter upgraded Doom also allows Doom to cast Doom on himself and disable both, Chen and his creeps around him.
Huskar
* Vulnerable spellcasters with no escape mechanisms are easy targets for Huskar: Lich, Crystal Maiden, Silencer, Keeper of the Light, Venomancer, etc.
Doom
* Heroes with silences: 
Puck, Doom, 
Riki.
Doom
* Infernal Blade deals scaling damage and is useful against high HP targets such as Timbersaw.
* Timbersaw is extremely reliant on his abilities to be effective during a team fight - both for mobility, damage and crowd control. Timbersaw offers very little impactful right-click damage, and thus Doom is particularly crippling against this hero.
* Additionally, when upgraded with Aghanim's Scepter, Doom breaks 
Reactive Armor, which effectively removes the durability which Timbersaw is commonly known for.
Additional:
* Doom shuts down Timbersaw completely, negating his mobility and preventing him from doing any damage. It also breaks Reactive Armor's passive bonuses from Aghanim's Scepter.
* Infernal Blade can stun Timbersaw several times in a fight, potentially interrupting Timber Chain. Also it's useful since Timbersaw has high HP due to the damage scales based on max HP.
Doom
* Doom pierces spell immunity and can prevent Enigma from casting any spells or using items until the duration of the spell depletes, as well as cancelling a 
Black Hole.
* While Doom can be blocked by a Linken's Sphere, which is a common item on Enigma, Aghanim's Scepter upgraded Doom allows Doom to cast Doom on himself to affect enemies near him, and if Doom can combine this with Blink Dagger, he will be able to jump on Enigma while he is channeling Black Hole. Aghanim's Scepter upgraded Doom can also cancel Black Hole if any of Enigma's allies affected by Doom gets too close to him for it's duration, ignoring both, Black King Bar and Linken's Sphere.
Huskar
* Clockwerk cannot go head-to-head with Huskar in Power Cogs, as Berserker's Blood and Life Break will destroy him faster than the other way around.
Additional:
* Clockwerk's abilities cannot handle Huskar in a one-on-one fight, even if he gets the jump on him.
Doom
* Infernal Blade deals scaling damage and is useful against high HP targets such as Tidehunter.
* Doom prevents Tidehunter from casting his 
Gush, 
Anchor Smash and 
Ravage, making him useless in team fights.
* If Doom gets an Aghanim's Scepter, he can also disable 
Kraken Shell, reducing his survivability.
Huskar
* Magnus cannot manfight Huskar even with Empower, Berserker's Blood's high attack speed and health regeneration, combined with Huskar's high health and Burning Spear stacks will allow Huskar to kill Magnus before he can kill him.
* From a safe distance, Huskar can surprise and counter Magnus's initiation with Life Break and Burning Spear.
* Burning Spear also deals damage over time, disabling Blink Dagger and preventing him from initiating or escaping.
Doom
* All abilities from Mirana can shut down with Doom and Mirana can not escape with Leap since Doom activated.
* Doom also catch Mirana disabled used combo items Doom from ugrade Aghanim's Scepter and Blink Dagger or 
Overwhelming Blink make Mirana can not move escaping notably 
Leap and 
Moonlight Shadow.
Doom
* Infernal Blade deals high damage to Pudge due to his high strength grow with 
Flesh Heap.
* Using Doom with timing against Pudge who had just activated 
Rot would usually kill him.
Additional:
* Doom disables the toggling of Rot and, if cast at the right time, may leave Pudge with a potentially lethal health drain.
* Doom's naturally high health, strength gain and damage output makes him a poor target for Pudge.
* The damage of Doom's Infernal Blade scales with the target's maximum health, which is particularly effective against Pudge due to his naturally high health and further health granted by stacks of Flesh Heap.
Doom
* Doom is effective against every hero, and Void Spirit is no exception. Being unable to cast spells or items during fights for 16 seconds nullifies his impact entirely.
* Doom has a very versatile build and can consume creeps which has abilities that can stun or provide additional magic resistance.
* Doom's high strength gain and versatility in items can be effective against Void Spirit's magical damage.
Huskar
* Life Break along with Burning Spear can quickly kill Razor before Static Link steals enough damage for Razor to take down Huskar.
* Berserker's Blood can make stealing Huskar's damage and using it against him somewhat dangerous, as Huskar will be able to inflict more and more Burning Spears rapidly.
Huskar
* Heroes with illusions can overwhelm Huskar: Phantom Lancer, Anti-Mage, Arc Warden, Chaos Knight.
Huskar
* Huskar does not need any mana to fight Anti-Mage as most of his skills cost HP instead. He is a good counter to take away Anti-mage's farm in early to mid-game. He, however, struggles to kill Anti-Mage in the late game.
Additional:
* Huskar is not very reliant on mana to cast his spells, therefore, 
Mana Break is not very effective against him.
* Huskar also has low mana pool, he will take less damage once his mana pool is completely depleted. 
Mana Void is also ineffective against him.
* Huskar comes online earlier than Anti-Mage, and can take over the game before Anti-Mage can farm up.
Doom
* Doom shuts down Anti-Mage's escape capabilities with Blink. The ability also deals pure damage, which ignores the protection from Counterspell.
* However, a well-timed Counterspell can reflect it back.
* If Doom has Aghanim's Scepter, Doom can break Mana Break and Counterspell, weakening both his offense and defense.
* Doom's low mana pool causes him to take little damage from Mana Void.
Additional:
* Doom prevents Anti-Mage from maneuvering around a fight or escaping from an initiation using 
Blink. Additionally, Doom deals pure damage, which is not affected by 
Counterspell. This can quickly whittle away Anti-Mage's naturally poor health pool.
* Be careful when using Doom as a well-timed Counterspell can block and reflect it back against Doom himself.
* An Aghanim's Scepter upgraded Doom will also disable Mana Break and Counterspell, which makes Anti-Mage significantly less effective in fights and more susceptible to the high magical damage of Doom's abilities and his allies.
Doom
* Doom has several disable abilities to choose from jungle creeps (e.g. 
War Stomp, 
Ensnare) to deal with Shadow Fiend who lacks escape abilities.
* When Doom combines creep abilities with Scorched Earth, Infernal Blade, and Doom, Shadow Fiend most likely will die as he cannot use Shadowraze and Requiem of Souls to protect himself, and also cannot even flee by using 
Shadow Blade or Blink Dagger.
* Although Shadow Fiend has a high physical damage output, Doom has a large health pool to survive it, meaning Doom's combo with high magical damage output will shutdown Shadow Fiend first.
* Doom usually buys Radiance to improve his damage, making his nuke combo more deadly to Shadow Fiend. The blind also prevents Shadow Fiend from landing his attacks often.
Huskar
* Huskar's high attack speed can counteract 
Fire Spirits, and easily destroy the 
Supernova.
Additional:
* Berserker's Blood will let Huskar easily face down a Supernova with increased attack speed.
* 
Icarus Dive may not be an easy escape from Huskar either as he can chase Phoenix during it with Life Break if Huskar times it right.
* However, Phoenix can buy items which can
Doom
* Doom makes Ogre Magi less disruptive.
* Infernal Blade effectively negates Ogre Magi's durability.
* With Aghanim's Scepter, he can disable Multicast.
Doom
* Doom can stop Death Prophet from casting spells, which makes her useless during team fights if she didn't cast Exorcism before the fight. Furthermore, Doom can use Scorched Earth to chase after her.
Huskar
* Life Break and Burning Spear usually kills Gyrocopter before he can do much damage to Huskar.
* Inner Fire applies a disarm on all enemies, which can be a hindrance to Gyrocopter.
Doom
* Infernal Blade's damage is calculated by percentage of max health. Since Spectre is usually tanky, it will hurt her more than most normal attacks.
* Doom can entirely disable Spectre from a teamfight. If upgraded with Aghanim's Scepter, it will disable her passive skills which is she relies on, crippling her.

* Infernal Blade's damage is calculated by percentage of maximum health, meaning that it will hurt Spectre more than most normal attacks, negating some of her tankiness.
* Doom can pick up several different abilities from neutral creeps using Devour, some of which can be annoying to Spectre.
* Mud Golem, Dark Troll Summoner, Harpy Stormcrafter, Satyr Mindstealer or Satyr Tormenter are good examples.
* Doom makes Spectre less disruptive. Combined with Aghanim's Scepter, it will disable Spectre passive skills, reducing her potential in teamfights.
Doom
* Infernal Blade deals scaling damage and is useful against high HP targets such as Elder Titan. It also can interupt 
Echo Stomp if quick enough.
* Doom has very low base armor and naturally high HP, so he isn't significantly affected by 
Natural Order.
Huskar
* 
Nyx Assassin can reflect Life Break with 
Spiked Carapace.
Huskar
* Heroes who rely on damage over time as Spiked Carapace can block and reflect only one instance of damage: Venomancer, Huskar, 
Ember Spirit, 
Dark Seer, 
Sand King, Doom, 
Dawnbreaker. However, this also means they are easily stunned.
Doom
* A well-timed Doom prevents Nyx Assassin escaping with Vendetta and fighting back with Spiked Carapace.
* Doom's high health also allows him to easily shrug off Nyx Assassin's burst damage and fend him off.
Huskar
* Huskar's Burning Spears chip through his low health pool quickly.Consequently, he is forced to either invest on health regen or abandon the lane.
* Reliant on magic damage, there is little he can do against Huskar.
* Huskar will usually kill him if he gets Life Break off,given Zeus' poor mobility.
Huskar
* Since Tidebringer has a 4 second cooldown, Kunkka has little availability to manfight Huskar.
Huskar
* Burning Spears can put Monkey King's 
Tree Dance on cooldown.
Huskar
* Huskar can burn down Dragon Knight's health quickly during the early to mid game, but is not as effective during the late game. However, Life Break remains a constant threat due to the slow and percentage-based damage.
Additional:
* Huskar can negate Dragon Knight's passive with multiple trades of Burning Spear.
Doom
* Heroes that can keep Luna locked down for a long time can be a threat (she is very item and spell dependent): Faceless Void, Legion Commander, Doom.
Huskar
* Heroes with spell immunity: 
Juggernaut, Pangolier, Huskar.
Huskar
* Certain heroes can mess up with Pangolier's positioning and timing (especially if he intends to use Rolling Thunder during combat): Vengeful Spirit, Keeper of the Light, Huskar, Dark Seer
Doom
* Heroes with silencing abilities can be particularly deadly when Slark is trying to escape: Silencer, Death Prophet, Puck, Doom.
Huskar
* Vulnerable spellcasters with no escape mechanisms are easy targets for Huskar: Lich, Crystal Maiden, Silencer, Keeper of the Light, Venomancer, etc.
Additional:
* Lich is going to have a hard time nuking Huskar because of his high health regeneration from Berserker's Blood.
* Lich is a squishy support without an escape mechanism, making Lich an easy kill thanks to Life Break and Burning Spear.
* Once Huskar has Armlet of Mordiggian, even a maxed out Frost Blast will struggle to finish Huskar off.
Huskar
* Huskar with Life Break
* Heroes that can remove the Track debuff with their skills:
* Abaddon with 
Aphotic Shield and Borrowed Time
* Huskar with Life Break
* Juggernaut with 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.
Huskar
* Vulnerable spellcasters with no escape mechanisms are easy targets for Huskar: Lich, Crystal Maiden, Silencer, Keeper of the Light, Venomancer, etc.
Additional:
* Huskar can easily regenerate lost health from DoT spells through Berserker's Blood rendering them ineffective
* Venomancer has little armor and mobility, and rarely builds Linken's Sphere, so he is quite vulnerable to Life Break.
Doom
* Besides Lone Druid and Meepo, Doom is potentially good versus every hero since Doom will render any hero helpless for a prolonged 16 seconds. This is particularly true for fragile heroes that heavily rely on mobility to stay alive.
Doom
* Heroes who can disable Mars but cannot do any damage to him, meaning he just tanks their abilities: Doom, 
Magnus.
Huskar
* Burning Spear's magical damage is very troublesome for Mars in the laning stage.
* Life Break's percentage-based magical damage bypasses Bulwark, and can also be used to jump in or out of Arena Of Blood.
Huskar
* Carries that can out damage Huskar will do well against him: Legion Commander, Faceless Void, Troll Warlord, Phantom Assassin.
Doom
* Faceless Void relies on 
Time Walk for mobility and survivability but he can be prevented from utilizing it through Doom.
* Doom has a high cooldown duration for every ability except Infernal Blade, so he is not significantly affected by 
Time Dilation.
Huskar
* Heroes with high magical burst can easily kill Huskar when he is at low health: Lion, Lina, Skywrath Mage
Huskar
* Skywrath Mage's armor and agility gain is very low, so when Huskar's Burning Spears stack they can take him down very quickly at any point of the game.
* Berserker's Blood grants bonuses as Huskar uses Burning Spears to harass Skywrath Mage, granting him attack speed, magic resistance, and strength as health regen, making it possible that Huskar can harass Skywrath Mage out of lane and sustain through his magic burst through staying injured throughout lane, or even the game.
* Life Break allows Huskar to jump onto Skywrath Mage, closing the distance between them and busting him down so he cannot run. This can be combed with Inner Fire, adding a movement speed slow if Aghanim's Shard is applied so Skywrath Mage cannot escape.
Doom
* Heroes with the ability to heal allies, or those with good defensive abilities: Chen, Dazzle, Io, Oracle, Omniknight, Witch Doctor, Winter Wyvern, Abaddon, etc.
Doom
* Doom applies a basic dispel upon cast, so it can remove 
Guardian Angel.
* Casting Doom on Omniknight will also prevent him from healing allies with 
Purification, or casting buffs like Heavenly Grace and Guardian Angel, basically turning him into a harmless creep.
Additional:
* Doom turns Omniknight into a walking creep, or completely takes out his buffed cores, also removing Heavenly Grace and Guardian Angel in the process.
* With Devour used on Satyr Banisher, Doom will have access to Satyr Banisher's 
Purge, which will allow him to remove Heavenly Grace and Guardian Angel.
Huskar
* Heroes who rely on basic attacks will suffer from Laser: Phantom Assassin, 
Wraith King, Huskar.
Doom
* Tinker is heavily dependent on active abilities and Doom prevents him from using any of them.
Additional:
* Tinker is heavily reliant on casting his spells and Doom can disable all of his abilities and items. An Aghanim's Scepter only makes it harder for Tinker to survive.
Huskar
* Heroes with illusions can overwhelm Huskar: Phantom Lancer, Anti-Mage, Arc Warden, Chaos Knight.
Doom
* 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.
Doom
* Doom does not disable 
Mana Shield. As such, Doom's damage is largely mitigated by her mana shield. Additionally, Medusa is not reliant on her abilities to be effective during a teamfight, making Medusa an unproductive hero to target.
* Medusa is an ideal Linken's Sphere carrier. Should one be purchased, and without any additional disables, Doom may find that few opportunities exist to effectively lockdown, disable, and kill Medusa.
Huskar
* Burning Spear's damage over time can rapidly burn Medusa's mana and health alike.
* Inner Fire can slow and disarm Medusa and also allow Huskar to follow up with Life Break.
Huskar
* 
Ball Lightning, if timed correctly, and in the right place, can drag Huskar using Life Break all the way to fountain. Or you could also lure him on top of a pillar or into a techies minefield.
Doom
* Doom prevents Storm Spirit from using all of his abilities and items, rendering Storm Spirit useless in a fight.
Huskar
* 
Windrun makes it impossible to hit Windranger with Burning Spears.
* Huskar cannot toggle Armlet of Mordiggian to regain health while taking constant damage from 
Focus Fire.
Additional:
* Windranger prevents Huskar from landing Burning Spears by using Windrun.
* Because Huskar tends to be at low health, Focus Fire and Powershot are good abilities against him.
Doom
* Doom can shut down all active abilities from Windranger while can not escape with Windrun and Focus Fire since activated with Doom.
Doom
* Drow Ranger can be difficult to get on top of, thanks to her 
Frost Arrows and 
Gust. With these two abilities, Drow Ranger is able to effectively 'kite' Doom and minimize his impact during team fights and laning stage.
* Much of Drow Ranger's effectiveness comes from her passive, which is not disabled by Doom.
Huskar
* Life Break closes the distance between Huskar and Drow Ranger, dealing large amounts of damage and disabling Marksmanship.
* Berserker's Blood and Burning Spear allow Huskar to beat Drow Ranger directly and pile on damage.
Doom
* In general, melee heroes without blink mechanisms or spell immunity will have a hard time positioning against Pit of Malice: 
Sven, 
Tiny, Wraith King, 
Dragon Knight, Meepo, Doom, 
Bounty Hunter, Dark Seer, 
Undying, 
Alchemist, Legion Commander.
Doom
* Doom with the {ValueColor:1|Doom applies Break|25tal} {Symbol:Talent} talent can be useful against heroes with troublesome passive skills while also disabling them for a long time: Phantom Assassin, Enchantress, Huskar, Underlord.
Additional:
* Infernal Blade does damage based on percentage health, and is useful against high health pool hero like Underlord.
* Doom can prevent Underlord from spamming his abilities and most important is to prevent him from using Fiend's Gate to escape.
Huskar
* The damage from Burning Spear can be reduced by turning away from Huskar.
* Bristleback can bait Huskar into using Life Break on him, then turn around and receive very little damage.
Additional:
* Bristleback's tankiness and 
Bristleback allow him to outlast Burning Spears' damage-over-time at almost any point in the game. In addition, if Huskar chooses to cast Life Break on Bristleback, Bristleback can simply turn around before it hits and receive little damage.
* 
Viscous Nasal Goo will reduce Huskar's low armor even further, and 
Quill Spray and 
Warpath will tear him down extremely quickly.
Doom
* Infernal Blade deals scaling damage and is useful against high health targets such as Bristleback.
* Doom disables Bristleback's low cooldown abilities, preventing him from triggering Warpath. With his upgraded level 25 talent, it also breaks Bristleback's passive, rendering him more vulnerable.
Additional:
* Infernal Blade deals scaling damage and is useful against high HP targets such as Bristleback.
* Doom prevents Bristleback from casting his two low cooldown abilities, which then prevents him from utilizing Warpath.
* If Doom gets an Aghanim's Scepter, he can disable Bristleback and Warpath, taking away much of his durability and damage potential in team fights.
Huskar
* Huskar is often played at low health to maximize the bonuses from Berserker's Blood, and also because his abilities cost health to use. This makes him especially vulnerable to Culling Blade.
* Berserker's Blood gives Huskar no protection against the pure damage of Culling Blade. Its attack speed bonus also means that Counter Helix will proc more often.
* Axe's tankiness and base health regeneration makes it hard for Huskar to take him down with Burning Spears.
Additional:
* 
Berserker's Call and Blade Mail can be used immediately after Huskar jumps on Axe with Life Break.
* Huskar's high attack speed procs 
Counter Helix repeatedly.
* Huskar's health loss from using his abilities make him a frequent target for 
Culling Blade.
Doom
* Infernal Blade's damage is calculated by a percentage of maximum health, meaning that it will hurt Axe more than most normal attacks, negating some of his durability.
* Doom can pick up several different abilities from neutral creeps using Devour, some of which can be annoying to Axe.
* Mud Golem, Dark Troll Summoner, Harpy Stormcrafter, Satyr Mindstealer or Satyr Tormenter are good examples.
* Doom's naturally low attack speed makes Counter Helix less likely to proc, and his high base health allows him to take a few Helixes with no danger.
* Doom makes Axe less disruptive, preventing him from using his skills or items. At level 25, there is a branch of the talent tree that makes Doom apply Break, allowing Doom to disable Counter Helix, making Axe effectively useless for a lengthy duration.
Additional:
* Infernal Blade deals scaling damage and is useful against high HP targets such as Axe.
* Doom has low attack speed because of his high Base-Attack-Time, poor agility gain and limited attack-speed granting items which are commonly built. This means Doom will trigger Counter Helix less often and thus is an unideal target for initiation.
* Doom has naturally high HP so it takes longer for Doom to be brought down to the killing threshold of Culling Blade.
* Axe is highly reliant on his abilities and items to be effective during a fight. Without the usage of Berserker's Call and Blink Dagger due to Doom, Axe offers very little in the way of damage, effectively removing him from a fight.
Doom
* Heroes with a slow attack rate will find themselves struggling to take out Tombstone, like Doom.
Huskar
* Huskar's huge damage output and attack speed can get rid of Undying and Tombstone quickly.
Huskar
* Huskar's Berserker's Blood provides no protection against Clinkz's physical damage output.
* Huskar has no way to disrupt Clinkz's attacks and no way to kill Clinkz alone, as Clinkz can easily go invisible, teleport away, or even fight back.
* Clinkz will often build the items that counter Huskar and the items he usually builds. These include Black King Bar or 
Monkey King Bar for 
Heaven's Halberd, or a disable item like 
Scythe of Vyse or 
Bloodthorn to prevent him from using Inner Fire to disarm.
Doom
* Scorched Earth deals damage to Clinkz during Skeleton Walk.
* Doom shuts down Clinkz entirely, as it prevents him from casting any of his spells and contributing a large amount of damage in teamfights.
Huskar
* Carries that can out damage Huskar will do well against him: Legion Commander, Faceless Void, Troll Warlord, Phantom Assassin.
Doom
* Doom with the {ValueColor:1|Doom applies Break|25tal} {Symbol:Talent} talent can be useful against heroes with troublesome passive skills while also disabling them for a long time: Phantom Assassin, Enchantress, Huskar, Underlord.
Huskar
* Quas Exort Invoker has high physical damage in the form of Cold Snap and Forged Spirits that allows him to trade hits with Huskar.
* Although Huskar can dispel Cold Snap with Life Break.
* Sun Strike deals pure damage and pierces spell immunity, and Huskar tends to drain his HP, making him a susceptible target.
Doom
* Doom completely takes Invoker out of a team fight, a hero who relies heavily on using abilities and items to contribute in team fights.
Additional:
* Doom is a good way to shut down Invoker, preventing from casting spells and using items for a lengthy time, thus forcing him to invest on Linken's Sphere.
Doom
* Heroes with the ability to heal allies, or those with good defensive abilities: Chen, Dazzle, Io, Oracle, Omniknight, Witch Doctor, Winter Wyvern, Abaddon, etc.
Doom
* Supports with useful teamfight or contribution spells will be helpless against Doom: Dazzle, Oracle, Warlock.
Huskar
* Because Huskar tends to stay at low health to gain the maximum bonuses from Berserker's Blood, it makes him an exceptionally prime target for
Reaper's Scythe.
Burning Spear, and if Heartstopper Aura stacks are active, can regenerate health lost to existing stacks.
Additional:
* Huskar is often at low health, making him easy prey for Reaper's Scythe.
* Ghost Shroud prevents Huskar from stacking
Doom
* Due to Doom's naturally high health, strength gain and common itemization for durability,
Heartstopper Aura is particularly effective. The health loss is also large enough that, throughout all stages of the game, the aura effectively neuters the health regeneration granted by Devour.
Heartstopper Aura (which is not disabled by Doom), or in the case of an ally, through his 
Death Pulse. Additionally, Necrophos is an ideal 
Mekansm carrier. Should one be bought, kills against Necrophos' team can be difficult to secure due to the damage-over-time nature of Doom and his abilities.
Reaper's Scythe, as it is likely Doom will be at the fore-front of any fight.
* Necrophos can help to keep both himself and his allies alive during Doom through his natural regeneration granted by
* Doom typically wants to be a hero that soaks attention from the enemy team and takes the role of an initiator and disabler. As such, Doom is an ideal target for
