Kunkka
* 
Blade Fury negates Kunkka's X Marks the Spot.
* Kunkka has no way to dodge 
Omnislash.
* Kunkka has no way to hit 
Healing Ward directly in battle, and it mitigates Ghostship and Tidebringer's damage.
Clockwerk
* Juggernaut is invulnerable while using Omnislash, meaning that neither 
Blade Mail or Power Cogs will save Clockwerk, this is especially common during the early laning phase.
* Blade Fury will also ignore any damage dealt by Battery Assault, as well as dealing heavy damage. As long as Juggernaut has mana to cast it.
* Overall, any attempt for Clockwerk to trap Juggernaut with Power Cogs will hurt him a lot more than the other way around.
Kunkka
* Since Tidebringer has a 4 second cooldown, Kunkka has little availability to manfight Huskar.
Clockwerk
* 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.
Kunkka
* 
Guardian Angel makes allies immune to all physical damage, effectively causing Tidebringer to do no damage.
* 
Purification is a powerful, pure damaging heal that can save Omniknight's allies after Kunkka's large damage.
Clockwerk
* Purification does great damage to Clockwerk when fighting an enemy inside Power Cogs.
* Due to Clockwerk's very low damage output, Omniknight will have more than enough time to Purification and 
Heavenly Grace any enemy hero Clockwerk initiates on.
* For the same reasons, Omniknight also makes a powerful ally for Clockwerk when the situation is reversed.
Kunkka
* 
Supernova negates Kunkka's combo entirely, as it can't be affected by spells while using Supernova.
* 
Icarus Dive also allows Phoenix to dodge Ghostship and Torrent.
Clockwerk
* Clockwerk being confined in his own Power Cogs means Clockwerk is unable to quickly escape from Phoenix's 
Sun Ray and Supernova.
* Sun Ray will also heal the enemy Clockwerk is fighting, making it unlikely for Clockwerk to take an enemy down with him.
* For the same reasons, Phoenix also makes a powerful ally for Clockwerk when the situation is reversed.
Kunkka
* Clinkz's high damage output and insane attack speed late-game can take Kunkka out of the fight before it begins.
* 
Burning Barrage and 
Searing Arrows together can kill allies easily even under Ghostship's buff.
* 
Skeleton Walk can allow Clinkz to make a quick escape after Kunkka's combo, or even avoid it all together.
Clockwerk
* Searing Arrows makes Clinkz one of the hardest heroes for Clockwerk to lane against.
Kunkka
* Ursa's massive physical damage can destroy Kunkka quickly.
* 
Enrage can be activated before being hit by Ghostship to prevent most of the damage.
* 
Earthshock slows Kunkka's movement speed. With no escape abilities, Kunkka is easy prey.
Clockwerk
* Ursa's high physical burst damage combined with his big attack speed and durability makes him a very bad target for Power Cogs.
* Even with Blade Mail, Ursa's Enrage will negate most of the reflected damage.
Clockwerk
* Heroes who can provide constant vision inside the Roshan Pit can negate one of the strongest advantages of Ursa, which is the possibility of quickly killing Roshan at the early game, with minimum itemization needed (
Clockwerk, 
Beastmaster, etc).
Kunkka
* 
Astral Imprisonment can allow Outworld Destroyer to save himself or allies from Kunkka's full kit.
* 
Sanity's Eclipse deal a large amount of damage, as Kunkka's mana pool is much smaller than Outworld Destroyer's.
* 
Arcane Orb deals pure damage, shredding through Kunkka and his team even with Ghostship's buff.
Kunkka
* Kunkka relies on his powerful AOE spells to turn the tides of teamfights. He cannot use them while silenced.
* 
Last Word can mess up Kunkka's ability synergy, silencing him in the middle of his strong combo.
* 
Global Silence can disable Kunkka's spell casting from anywhere on the map, even if Kunkka is spell immune at the time.
Kunkka
* 
Leap allows Mirana to easily escape Torrent and Ghostship.
Clockwerk
* 
Spirit Siphon can deal some serious damage to Clockwerk while he is in 
Power Cogs while healing Death Prophet in process. 
Exorcism can also be used to take down Clockwerk faster while he is in Power Cogs.
* Death Prophet usually buys a 
Hurricane Pike or 
Eul's Scepter of Divinity which allows her to easily escape from Power Cogs or save her allies from Clockwerk.
* 
Silence can prevent Clockwerk from using his ablities during teamfight, especially since Clockwerk is an easy target for it while in Power Cogs.
Additional:

* Silence can prevent Clockwerk from using his ablities during teamfight, especially since Clockwerk is an easy target for it while in Power Cogs.
Kunkka
* Rubick can steal abilities from Kunkka (except Tidebringer) with 
Spell Steal. Since build Aghanim's Scepter, Rubick's make two steal abilities from Kunkka when the spot is right.
Additional:
* 
Kunkka is a strong teamfighter with his powerful control spells, which Rubick could exploit to his advantage.
* 
Torrent provides another source of damage and crowd control.
* 
Ghostship is a powerful teamfight spell, providing huge magical damage to enemies and buffing allies with damage negation.
* Both skills works the best when comboed with other source of control from allies, such as 
Duel or 
Beserker's Call.
* 
Telekinesis can reposition an enemy onto a Torrent or Ghostship.
* 
Torrent Storm works as a disruptive spell for Rubick to create chaos around him.
* 
Tidal Wave offers another source of control and repositioning.
* As long as Kunkka gains these spells with 
Aghanim's Shard and 
Aghanim's Scepter, 
Rubick does not need extra items to steal these spells.
* 
X Marks the Spot serves as a utility spell for escaping, chasing and other useful functions.
Clockwerk
* Shadow Fiend usually buys a Hurricane Pike allowing him to easily escape from Power Cogs.
* Shadow Fiend can farm Clockwerk's Power Cogs to gain Necromastery stacks.
Clockwerk
* 
Conjure Image and 
Reflection illusions may give Clockwerk a hard time to find an angle for Hookshot.
* Because Clockwerk lack burst damage, Terrorblade can often save himself with 
Sunder.
Clockwerk
* 
Waveform allows Morphling to easily escape Power Cogs.
* Clockwerk's lack of burst damage makes it nearly impossible for him to kill a Morphling using 
Attribute Shift (Strength Gain).
Additional:
* Morphling can escape from Power Cogs with Waveform.
* Even if Morphling is trapped in Power Cogs, Morphling can use Attribute Shift (Strength Gain) to survive the duration.
Kunkka
* Timbersaw Defeats Kunkka on the center line, due to the fact that he has a huge resistance to physical damage by 
Reactive Armor, which is why 
Tidebringer almost does not break through Timbersaw, and due to 
Whirling Death Timbersaw can very much break through Kunkka and force him to leave the line, or spend money on 
Tango.
Additional:
* Timbersaw easily beats Kunkka on the midlane, due to the fact that he has huge physical damage resistance from Reactive Armor, which is why Tidebringer almost does not break through Timbersaw, and due to Whirling Death and Kunkka being a strength hero, Timbersaw can very much break through Kunkka and force him to leave the lane, or spend money on Tango.
Clockwerk
* Clockwerk lacks burst damage, and that makes him vulnerable to heroes who can recover themselves and turn the fight around to their advantage after Clockwerk finishes his initiation. Additionally, Clockwerk hates buying 
Dagon and 
Ethereal Blade, which are the only itmes that can help him deal with heroes who can recover themselves and turn the fight around to their advantage: 
Faceless Void, 
Terrorblade, 
Ursa, 
Weaver, 
Broodmother, 
Slark, 
Abaddon, 
Wraith King, 
Lifestealer.
Clockwerk
* 
Ancient Apparition's 
Cold Feet will freeze Clockwerk in place if he stays inside his Power Cogs. His immobility while in his cogs also makes him a very easy target to 
Ice Vortex and 
Ice Blast.
Clockwerk
* Heroes that have a weak laning stage: 
Spectre, 
Nyx Assassin, Clockwerk, 
Spirit Breaker, 
Omniknight, 
Pudge.
Clockwerk
* 
Vengeful Spirit can 
Nether Swap enemies out of Power Cogs.
Additional:

Kunkka
* Similarly, they can negate your X Marks The Spot & Torrent combo by protecting your target when you use Return. Good candidates to negate your combo include 
Outworld Destroyer and his Astral Imprisonment, and 
Shadow Demon and his 
Disruption.
* Heroes with hide abilities can often dodge a Ghostship just before it hits.
* Similarly, they can negate your X Marks The Spot & Torrent combo by protecting your target when you use Return. Good candidates to negate your combo include Outworld Destroyer and his Astral Imprisonment, and Shadow Demon and his Disruption.
* A Eul's Scepter of Divinity can also do the trick, but, unlike the previously mentioned abilities, you can only use it on yourself and not your allies.
Kunkka
* Melee heroes with low mobility can be kited and killed by Viper: 
Treant Protector, Kunkka, 
Alchemist, 
Troll Warlord, Wraith King, 
Tiny, 
Sven.
Kunkka

Living Armor will also negate Tidebringer's damage.
Clockwerk

Additional:
* Familiars can scout for Clockwerk's location allowing Visage to dodge or block 
Hookshot attempts.
* Gravekeeper's Cloak greatly absorbs damage from Hookshot.
Kunkka
* Heroes with cleave or multi-target attacks can quickly take on Familiars and reduce Visage's firepower like 
Gyrocopter, Kunkka, 
Magnus and 
Medusa.
Clockwerk
* 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.
Clockwerk
* Some heroes with extreme range, like 
Zeus, 
Invoker or Clockwerk, can snipe your allies from anywhere after your Grave has expired.
Clockwerk
* 
Glimpse moves Clockwerk away from allies struck by Hookshot, or under attack by Battery Assault.
* 
Static Storm can turn Power Cogs into Clockwerk's own grave, and if Disruptor has Aghanim's Scepter, then Clockwerk will not be able to use Blade Mail to return damage at all.
Kunkka
* X Marks the Spot is a counter to 
Disruptor's Glimpse, but you need quick reactions to pull it off.
Clockwerk
* Anti-Mage can Blink into or out of Power Cogs, negating Clockwerk's initiation and bypassing his defenses.
Additional:
* Anti-Mage can easily 
Blink out of Power Cogs, escaping any ganking or initiation attempts.
* 
Mana Break depletes Clockwerk's much-needed mana.
* 
Counterspell makes Clockwerk's very low damage output only tickle Anti-Mage.
Kunkka
* Kunkka can bring Anti-Mage back with X Marks the Spot, effectively negating Blink or forcing him to wait out the debuff before Blinking.
Clockwerk
* 
Firesnap Cookie can be fed to Snapfire herself or to an ally caught inside Power Cogs.
* A badly placed Power Cog makes it easier for Snapfire to aim 
Mortimer Kisses on Clockwerk
Clockwerk
* Heroes with mobility spells (such as 
Queen of Pain's 
Blink and Clockwerk with Hookshot) can easily avoid 
Lil' Shredder and Mortimer Kisses.
* Heroes with high movement speeds like 
Pugna and 
Meepo can run around, to, or away from Snapfire during Mortimer Kisses and dodge the projectiles easily due to their slow speed.
Clockwerk
* Due to Clockwerk's slow damage output, Chen can often save a trapped ally with Hand of God.
* Clockwerk does not have any source of damage to deal with Chen Creeps.
* Chen can use his creeps to block Clockwerk's attempts to use Hookshot.
Additional:
* Due to Clockwerk's very low damage output, Chen can often save a trapped enemy hero with 
Hand of God.
* 
Penitence's attack speed amplification allows Chen and his allies to kill Clockwerk quickly after his initiation.
* Chen's creeps can be used to block Hookshot initiation from all sides, as well as distribute Battery Assault's damage.
Kunkka
* Heroes with strong area-of-effect damage can make quick work of Chen's converted creeps and at same time gain farm: Magnus, 
Jakiro, 
Shadow Fiend, Kunkka, 
Luna, 
Dragon Knight, Medusa, Alchemist.
Kunkka
* Windranger can't escape

Kunkka
* X Marks the Spot negates Stampede.
Clockwerk
* Battery Assault easily interrupts Centaur Warrunner due to his poor cast animation.
* Power Cogs can negate Stampede.
Kunkka
* The slow from Torrent makes Crystal Maiden's already bad movement speed even worse.
* Kunkka has many tools to interrupt Freezing Field (most notably Torrent, Ghostship and Torrent Storm from Aghanim's Scepter), as she is an easy target while channeling it.
* It is worth noting that most of Kunkka's abilities do not pierce through spell immunity, so purchasing a 
Black King Bar might help Crystal Maiden in this regard.
Clockwerk
* 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.
Kunkka
* In general, highly mobile heroes like 
Earth Spirit or 
Storm Spirit are at a disadvantage against X Marks the Spot.
* Similarly, heroes with low cooldown teleports can be afraid to split push against X Marks the Spot, such as 
Tinker and 
Nature's Prophet.
Clockwerk
* Clockwerk's Battery Assault disables Earth Spirit's Rolling Boulder, while his Power Cogs ensure, that Earth Spirit can't move away from it.
* His Hookshot allows him to chase after Earth Spirit, while using Rocket Flare to gain vision.
Kunkka
* Heroes that punish mobile heroes: 
Bloodseeker, 
Keeper of the Light, Kunkka, Disruptor.
Clockwerk
* Clockwerk can use Power Cogs to repel Spirit Breaker when he charges in with 
Charge of Darkness.
* Spirit Breaker's slow 0.6 second attack animation attacks do little damage against Clockwerk. It can also constantly be interrupted by Battery Assault.
* 
Nether Strike's 1.2 second charge time gives Clockwerk plenty of time to activate Blade Mail and for Battery Assault to cancel it.
Additional:
* Battery Assault will continuously prevent Spirit Breaker from using Nether Strike, Charge of Darkness and even right clicking because of his slow base attack speed.
Kunkka
* Similarly, heroes with low cooldown teleports can be afraid to split push against X Marks the Spot, such as Tinker and Nature's Prophet.
* In general, highly mobile heroes like Earth Spirit or Storm Spirit are at a disadvantage against X Marks the Spot.
* Similarly, heroes with low cooldown teleports can be afraid to split push against X Marks the Spot, such as Tinker and Nature's Prophet.
Clockwerk
* Clockwerk's long range initiation and catch makes it incredibly difficult for Nature's Prophet to split push and show on the map alone.
* Rocket Flare can be used to scout Nature's Prophet if he is hiding in the forest, and can provide vision inside of Sprout.
Kunkka
* X Marks the Spot will return Underlord or his teammate if they escape with 
Fiend's Gate.
* Torrent, Ghostship, Torrent Storm from Aghanim's Scepter and Tidal Wave from Aghanim's Shard are all excellent abilities for intercepting Underlord and his team if Underlord chooses to travel to the designated point of the map with Fiend's Gate.
Clockwerk
* Heroes with long cast animations can be continuously interrupted by Battery Assault: 
Centaur Warrunner, Jakiro, 
Leshrac,

* In general, highly mobile heroes like Earth Spirit or Storm Spirit are at a disadvantage against X Marks the Spot.
* Similarly, heroes with low cooldown teleports can be afraid to split push against X Marks the Spot, such as Tinker and Nature's Prophet.
Additional:
* X Marks the Spot can be used to prevent Tinker from escape with 
Blink Dagger or 
Keen Conveyance, discourage him from snapping farm and snapping gank. However, in later game, it'll be much more difficult because Tinker can buy Black King Bar or 
Linken's Sphere to prevent Kunkka from placing X on him, or Eul's Scepter of Divinity to prevent the recall.
Clockwerk
* Rocket Flare can find Tinker if he blinks into the treeline, and Hookshot will prevent him from teleporting out.
* Battery Assault makes Tinker unable to 
Rearm by stunning him repeatedly.
Additional:
* Clockwerk can easily catch a split pushing Tinker with his Hookshot and prevent him from escaping with Power Cogs and Battery Assault. Clockwerk can also find a Tinker hiding in trees with his Rocket Flare.
* Clockwerk usually buys a Blade Mail, which does lots of damage to Tinker if he gets hit by his abilities (especially March of the Machines).
Kunkka
* X Marks the Spot is good to prevent a single meepo from escaping from a deadly situation.
* Tidebringer, Torrent and Ghostship destroys Meepo's clones.
Additional:
* Tidebringer's cleave damage can wear down Meepo's clones quickly. It can also give Meepo problems in the lane, due to his melee range and initially low health pool.
* Ghostship and Torrent can effectively disable Meepo while dealing heavy damage.
* X Marks the Spot prevents attempts to escape using Poof.
Clockwerk
* Because only one clone needs to be killed in order to kill Meepo, heroes that excel at singling out enemies can also be a detriment to him, such as 
Batrider, Beastmaster, Pudge and Clockwerk.
Kunkka
* Heroes with long range abilities are also able to touch Zeus, such as Clockwerk, Kunkka, 
Puck, Skywrath Mage, Spirit Breaker, 
Tusk and others.
Clockwerk
* Heroes with long range abilities are also able to touch Zeus, such as Clockwerk, Kunkka, Puck, Skywrath Mage, Spirit Breaker, Tusk and others.

Epicenter, especially if he initiates during the battle.
* 
Sand King can't dodge X Marks the Spot - Torrent combo by his abilities. Torrent drags him out of his 
Sand Storm
Kunkka
* Tidebringer's cleave will cripple any of his summons.
* Could potentially build Heaven's Halberd to cripple Lycan even more.
Additional:
* Tidebringer can be used to kill Lycan's summons.
* Can also build into 
Heaven's Halberd which will disable Lycan's auto attacks, crippling him even more.

Upheaval.
Kunkka
* Tidebringer will deal lots of damage to Alchemist before he builds physical survivability items.
* Torrent and X Marks the Spot can control Alchemist at all stages of the game before he has Black King Bar.
* Ghostship's rum buff will greatly reduce the Alchemist's damage output in teamfights including his Radiance.
Clockwerk
* Battery Assault will continuously interrupt Earthshaker's long cast animations.
* Power Cogs can also trap Earthshaker after he initiates.
Additional:
* Battery Assault interrupts Earthshaker's long cast animations, preventing him from using any abilities apart from Echo Slam.
* Power Cogs often separate the battlefield so that both enemies and allies are unlikely to cluster.
* Rocket Flare allows Clockwerk to scout Earthshaker before a fight starts and potentially cancel his Blink Dagger.
* Hookshot enables Clockwerk to catch Earthshaker before he gets a chance to initiate a fight.
Kunkka
* Tidebringer pressures Invoker easily in lane due to Invoker's low health and armor in the early game.
Clockwerk
* Getting trapped in Power Cogs usually means the end for Drow Ranger.
Additional:
* Hookshot lets Clockwerk close the gap to Drow Ranger, disabling her Marksmanship bonus.
* Power Cogs and Battery Assault keep Drow Ranger from escaping.
* Power Cogs and Battery Assault also keep Drow Ranger close, nullifying Marksmanship.
Clockwerk
* Pugna's squishiness and lack of mobility make him easy prey for a Hookshot initiation.
* Clockwerk's high health, low mana costs, and lack of reliance on Blink Dagger make 
Nether Ward ineffective.
* Battery Assault shuts down Aghanim's Scepter upgraded 
Life Drain, as the repeated ministuns prevent Pugna from channeling for an extended length of time.
Additional:
* Clockwerk loves to Hookshot low health, immobile targets like Pugna.
* Pugna's Life Drain gets immediately and repeatedly (if an Aghanim's Scepter was purchased) cancelled due to Battery Assault, especially if Pugna is trapped inside Power Cogs.
* Clockwerk also loves to build Blade Mail, which will deal more damage to Pugna than Clockwerk due to Pugna's low health pool.
* Finally, both Hookshot and Rocket Flare can allow him to finish off Pugna out of range of his Nether Ward.
Clockwerk
* Battery Assault's mini-stuns can severely disrupt Legion Commander's attack animation when she enters a Duel, potentially saving Clockwerk (or his allies) and possibly even giving him an edge in securing a win himself.
* Power Cogs pushes Legion Commander away from Clockwerk's allies when she enters a Duel.
Clockwerk
* 
Black Hole requires channelling, making it easy to be interrupted with Hookshot.
* Enigma lacks mobility without a Blink Dagger and also is squishy, making him fall easily when ganked by Clockwerk.
Additional:
* Hookshot's stun pierces through spell immunity and Enigma's channeling can be easily cancelled from a safe distance, assuming none of his allies are in the way, and the Black Hole is not centered directly on Enigma.
Kunkka
* X Marks the Spot prevents Dark Seer or his allies from escaping with Surge.
Clockwerk
* Battery Assault's continuous mini-stun makes it hard for Elder Titan to cast his spells due to his poor cast animation.
* Elder Titan's channelling with Echo Stomp makes a good setup for Hookshot if timed correctly.

* Similarly, heroes with low cooldown teleports can be afraid to split push against X Marks the Spot, such as Tinker and Nature's Prophet.
Kunkka
* Lion lacks mobility or escape mechanisms, making him an easy target for abilities like 
Mirana's 
Sacred Arrow or Leshrac's 
Split Earth, or combos like Kunkka's X Marks the Spot into Torrent.
Clockwerk
* Heroes who can stop Axe from getting close will severely inhibit his presence in fights:

Clockwerk
* Heroes with long cast animations can be continuously interrupted by Battery Assault: Centaur Warrunner, Jakiro, Leshrac, Naga Siren, Underlord.
Additional:
* Clockwerk naturally builds Blade Mail, reflecting Leshrac's high magic damage output back at him.
* Power Cogs will prevent Leshrac from reaching Clockwerk's team and dealing large AOE damage to them.
* Power Cogs will also keep Leshrac close, wasting his Diabolic Edict on just Clockwerk.
* Battery Assault interrupts Leshrac's long cast times of Split Earth and Lightning Storm.
Clockwerk
* Heroes with long cast animations can be continuously interrupted by Battery Assault: Centaur Warrunner, Jakiro, Leshrac, Naga Siren, Underlord.
Additional:
* Battery Assault prevents Jakiro from casting spells as all his spells have very long cast times.
* Jakiro is also an easy target for Clockwerk's Hookshot + Power Cogs combo, as he has little mobility and no escape without items.
* Alternatively, if the enemy Clockwerk traps one of his own allies or Jakiro's allies in the cogs, it gives Jakiro an ideal setup to punish Clockwerk and his ally or to save Jakiro's ally, respectively.
Kunkka
* Any hero who can counter-initiate in anticipation without getting caught in Reverse Polarity: Sven, Omniknight, 
Enigma, Luna, Naga Siren, Mars, Jakiro,

Doom, Shadow Shaman.
Kunkka
* Tidebringer, Torrent and Ghostship destroys Chaos Knight's 
Phantasm army all through the game.
Clockwerk
* Clockwerk lacks burst damage, and that makes him vulnerable to heroes who can recover themselves and turn the fight around to their advantage after Clockwerk finishes his initiation. Additionally, Clockwerk hates buying Dagon and Ethereal Blade, which are the only itmes that can help him deal with heroes who can recover themselves and turn the fight around to their advantage: Faceless Void, Terrorblade, Ursa, Weaver, Broodmother, Slark, Abaddon, Wraith King, Lifestealer.
Kunkka
* Ghostship can stun Faceless Void and give damage reduction to allies that are trapped during Chronosphere.
* Torrent can stun Faceless Void from outside Chronosphere.

Additional:
* Kunkka's entire kit is great for taking out multiple units at once.
* Tidebringer's cleave will split through a wave of spiderlings.
* X Marks the Spot is great for dragging Broodmother back out of her web for Kunkka's team to set up on her.
* Torrent and Ghostship will demolish any spiderlings within the radius.
Clockwerk
* Battery Assault's damage is dispersed against Phantom Lancer's illusions.
* Phantom Lancer can blink out of Power Cogs with 
Doppelganger.
* When chasing, a Phantom Lancer can close in with 
Phantom Rush and burn down Clockwerk's mana with 
Diffusal Blade, rendering him helpless before he has a chance to erect a defensive Power Cogs.
* Because Clockwerk does not like to buy items to deal with multiple enemies at once, like 
Battle Fury, 
Maelstrom and 
Mjollnir, he will be unable to deal with Phantom Lancer's illusions coming from 
Juxtapose.
Additional:
* Doppelganger. lets Phantom Lancer jump in and out of Power Cogs.
* Clockwerk's low mobility makes him an easy target for Phantom Lancer to rush on, and overwhelm with clones.
Kunkka
* Tidebringer, Torrent and Ghostship destroys Phantom Lancer's illusion army.
* 
Phantom Lancer can't escape with Doppelganger under your X Marks the Spot, but can use it to dodge it.
Additional:
* Tidebringer and Kunkka's AoE abilities in general are effective in clearing Phantom Lancer's illusions.
Kunkka
* With his 
Take Aim, Sniper can simply sit out of your ability range and deal massive damage if not killed first.
* 
Assassinate can target allies who are still alive with low health because of Ghostship's buff.
* 
Headshot makes it harder for Kunkka to position/escape and makes it hard for Kunkka to hit with Tidebringer.
Clockwerk
* Clockwerk is also the least optimal target for Sniper to attack in a teamfight, although more experienced players will rarely make this mistake.
* With no mobility or disable skills, getting trapped in Power Cogs is a death sentence for Sniper.
Clockwerk
* Blink allows Quen of Pain to easily escape ganking or initiating attempts with Hookshot and Power Cogs.
Kunkka
* Ghostship helps your team soak up damage from 
Sonic Wave and 
Scream of Pain.
* Queen of Pain can't escape easily from X Marks the Spot - Torrent combo.
* Outlanes Queen of Pain on the midline, due to the fact that Queen of Pain has a small reserve of health at the beginning of the game, and she suffers very much from Tidebringer, which is why she is forced to either spend money on Tango, or skip creeps and run for bounty runes, and Kunkka at this time will gain an advantage in level and gold.

* Kunkka will catch her in X Marks the Spot and allow his team to kill her for stun from Torrent, because Queen of Pain has no way to avoid the cross X Marks the Spot before buying Black King Bar.
Clockwerk
* Ember Spirit's 
Fire Remnant is an easy way to escape from Clockwerk's Power Cogs.
* 
Flame Guard blocks most of the magical damage Clockwerk does.
Kunkka
* Using X Marks the spot Kunkka can prevent Ember Spirit from escaping with Activate Fire Remnant, until he purchase Eul's Scepter of Divinity or Linken's Sphere.
Kunkka
*
Rage negates Kunkka's X Marks the Spot.
Feast and 
Open Wounds.
* As a strength hero with high strength gain and very little armor, as well as low agility gain, Kunkka is vulnerable to Lifestealer's
Clockwerk
* With
Feast and 
Rage, Lifestealer is nearly impossible for Clockwerk to bring down, and is the last hero Clockwerk wants to be trapped with in Power Cogs.
