Lich
* Queen of Pain can easily escape Chain Frost thanks to 
Blink.
* His low survivability makes an easy kill for 
Shadow Strike, 
Scream of Pain & 
Sonic Wave.
Clockwerk
* Blink allows Quen of Pain to easily escape ganking or initiating attempts with Hookshot and Power Cogs.
Lich
* Anti-Mage can withstand magical burst damage much better than other carries, making him effective against nukers: 
Lich, 
Necrophos, 
Oracle, and 
Leshrac.
Additional:
* Although he can be effective against Anti-Mage in an aggro offlane, Lich has a hard time nuking down Anti-Mage in the midgame due to his Counterspell.
* All of Lich's abilities are also targeted, which makes it much harder to disable Anti-Mage.
* In the lategame, Anti-Mage can easily pick off Lich with 
Blink, and the high mana cost of Chain Frost along with Lich's large mana pool makes him vulnerable to 
Mana Void.
* Blink allows Anti-Mage to escape Chain Frost.
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.
Lich
* Chain Frost can bounce to the Spiderlings that Broodmother spawns.
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.
Lich
* Weaver doesn't care much about Lich's slows thanks to 
Shukuchi.
* If he sees Chain Frost is targeting him, he can easily isolate himself with Shukuchi so that it stops bouncing around.
* Unless Lich bursts Weaver immediately, Lich has no hard disables or silences to prevent him from using 
Time Lapse.
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.
Lich
* Heroes with low health: Lich, 
Crystal Maiden, 
Lion.
Clockwerk
* Heroes that have a weak laning stage: 
Spectre, 
Nyx Assassin, 
Clockwerk, 
Spirit Breaker, 
Omniknight, 
Pudge.
Clockwerk
* {U:Familiar}s can spot Clockwerk, allowing Visage's allies to dodge or block Hookshot attempts.
* Familiars will not be damaged by 
Blade Mail or Clockwerk's abilities, dealing dangerous amounts of damage to him.
Additional:
* Familiars can scout for Clockwerk's location allowing Visage to dodge or block 
Hookshot attempts.
* Gravekeeper's Cloak greatly absorbs damage from Hookshot.
Clockwerk
* 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.
Additional:
* 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.
Clockwerk
* 
Searing Arrows makes Clinkz one of the hardest heroes for Clockwerk to lane against.
Clockwerk
* 
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.
Additional:
* 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.
Lich
* Lycan doesn't care much about Lich's slows thanks to 
Shapeshift.
* Chain Frost can bounce to the wolves that Lycan summons.
Additional:
* Lich possesses a lot of slows, which Lycan doesn't care about when he Shapeshifts.
* Lich has no in-built escape, which makes him a good target for Lycan.
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.
Clockwerk
* Nether Swap gives Vengeful Spirit a way to save an ally from Clockwerk's Power Cogs.
* Magic Missile will interrupt Clockwerk trying to run down Vengeful Spirit's allies with Battery Assault.
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.
Lich
* If 
Thirst activated, Lich doesn't slow Bloodseeker.
* If he sees Chain Frost is targeting him, he can easily isolate himself with Thirst or forces Bloodseeker to build Blade Mail can cause Lich to accidentally kill himself with Chain Frost.
* Even Lich builds 
Glimmer Cape or 
Force Staff are suicidal item against Bloodseeker when he is affected by 
Rupture.
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.
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
* 
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:
* 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.
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.
Clockwerk
* 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.
Additional:
* 
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).
Lich
* Phantom Assassin can easily escape Lich's slows with 
Phantom Strike.
* Phantom Assassin's 
Coup De Grace can be used to burst down the squishy Lich.
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.
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
* 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
* 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.

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.
Lich
* Heroes that depend on disrupting fights with ability combos or big ultimate abilities are vulnerable to the long stun of Fiend's Grip: 
Disruptor, 
Death Prophet, 
Enigma, Faceless Void, 
Invoker, Lich, 
Magnus, 
Mars, 
Medusa, 
Outworld Destroyer, 
Phoenix, 
Puck, 
Queen of Pain, 
Shadow Fiend, 
Treant Protector, 
Underlord, 
Winter Wyvern, 
Witch Doctor, 
Zeus.
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
* 
Skywrath Mage's 
Mystic Flare can deal huge damage to Clockwerk inside his Power Cogs.
Lich
* The haste provided by 
Dark Seer's 
Surge or a {Rune:Haste} renders your slows ineffective.
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.
Lich
* Heroes with powerful nuke can waste their precious abilites on her Refraction during a ganking attempt or chaos combat: Lich, 
Lina, 
Sniper, Outworld Destroyer Zeus
Lich
* Heroes who lack burst damage will have a hard time against Mars: 
Phantom Lancer, 
Nature's Prophet, Lich.
Lich
* Lich does not pose a big threat to Zeus in teamfights, as his spells don't have great cast range and Zeus should be too far back for a 
Chain Frost to bounce among him and his allies.
* Lich has a low health pool, allowing Zeus to burst him down quickly.
Clockwerk
* Heroes with long range abilities are also able to touch Zeus, such as Clockwerk, 
Kunkka, Puck, Skywrath Mage, Spirit Breaker, 
Tusk and others.
Clockwerk
* 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.
Additional:
* 
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.
Clockwerk
* Some heroes with extreme range, like Zeus, Invoker or Clockwerk, can snipe your allies from anywhere after your Grave has expired.
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.
Lich
* Heroes with large magical AoE damage will fare well against Omniknight: Lich, Ancient Apparition, 
Jakiro, Disruptor.
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).
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.
Lich
* 
Frost Shield helps offset the armor reduction from Natural Order.
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.
Lich
* Supports who can slow him to the point Trample does very little damage in the lane are also not fun: Lich, 
Ogre Magi, Winter Wyvern.
Clockwerk
* Power Cogs keeps Primal Beast pinned down, preventing him from doing damage with Trample. Primal Beast's slow attack speed makes it hard for him to break the cogs and get away. In addition, Power Cogs' knockback is forced movement and thus will intercept Primal Beast's Onslaught if placed well.
* Battery Assault on a lone Primal Beast in the early game effectively keeps him from winding up Onslaught or basic attacking.
* 
Rocket Flare and 
Jetpack (from purchasing Aghanim's Shard) give Clockwerk many options to scout for Primal Beast, whose kit benefits greatly from ambushing.
Lich
* 
Poof combo puts all of the Meepos very close together, making them vulnerable to Frost Blast's AoE slow and multiple bounces from Chain Frost.
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.
Lich
* Heroes with nukes: 
Bane, Lich, Lion, Skywrath Mage
Clockwerk
* Heroes with nukes that can jump her: Clockwerk, 
Snapfire, Spirit Breaker, 
Techies
Lich
* Lich's constant slows with 
Frost Blast and Chain Frost will slow Dragon Knight to a crawl, especially in a crowded teamfight.
Clockwerk
* 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.
Additional:
* 
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.
Clockwerk
* Power Cogs pushes Monkey King out of 
Wukong's Command, ending his ultimate.
* Rocket Flare allows Clockwerk to scout Monkey King in the trees, and chase him with Hookshot.
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.
Clockwerk
* 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.
Additional:
* Getting trapped in Power Cogs usually means the end for Drow Ranger.
Clockwerk
* 
Meat Hooking a Clockwerk can backfire for Pudge, as Battery Assault and Blade Mail will hurt Pudge more than he hurts Clockwerk.
Clockwerk
* Power Cogs trap prevent Windranger from fleeing with 
Windrun.
* Battery Assault repeatedly interrupts 
Focus Fire, disrupting Windranger's damage output.
Additional:
* Power Cogs prevent Windranger from fleeing with Windrun.
* Battery Assault repeatedly interrupts Focus Fire, disrupting Windranger's damage output.
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.
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.
Clockwerk
* 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.
Additional:
* Battery Assault will continuously interrupt Earthshaker's long cast animations.
* Power Cogs can also trap Earthshaker after he initiates.
Clockwerk
* 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.
Additional:
* 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.
Lich
* Frost Blast and Chain Frost can kite Troll Warlord effectively.
* Frost Shield can single-handedly waste most of the duration of Battle Trance, due to the extreme resistance to physical damage Frost Shield provides. In addition, Troll Warlord is incapable of switching targets during Battle Trance, so he cannot pick an easier target.
* Troll Warlord has little to no ability to regenerate HP, so Frost Blast together with Frost Shield can harass him effectively.
Lich
* Lich's Chain Frost forces Io to either give up providing buff to his ally with 
Tether or suffer devastating damage with his tethered ally.
* Lich can easily use 
Sinister Gaze to disable Io from getting away with Tether or 
Relocate.
Clockwerk
* 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).
Additional:
* 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.
Lich
* Chain Frost can deliver high amounts of damage to Arc and his clone
Lich
* Chain Frost can deliver high amounts of damage to Lone itself and his bear if they do not separate fast from each other.
Additional:
* Chain Frost will bounce between Lone Druid and his bear, forcing them to separate or suffer high amounts of damage.
Clockwerk
* Heroes who can stun Sven even with an activated 
Black King Bar can be an issue: Clockwerk, Beastmaster.
Clockwerk
* Heroes with long cast animations can be continuously interrupted by Battery Assault: 
Centaur Warrunner, Jakiro, Leshrac, 
Naga Siren, Underlord.
Clockwerk
* As you can see from above, heroes who can close the gap are the biggest nightmare for the Sniper who wants to keep his distance: Spirit Breaker, Clockwerk and Tusk being the most classic examples because they don't require any item to do it.
Additional:
* 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
* Heroes who can stop Axe from getting close will severely inhibit his presence in fights: 
Bristleback, Crystal Maiden, Batrider, 
Arc Warden, Winter Wyvern, Clockwerk
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
* Every hero that can withstand or prevent Eclipse at level 7: 
Juggernaut, 
Riki, Clockwerk, 
Drow Ranger, Abaddon, Faceless Void, Weaver, Outworld Destroyer.
Clockwerk
* Heroes with long cast animations can be continuously interrupted by Battery Assault: Centaur Warrunner, Jakiro, Leshrac, Naga Siren, Underlord.
Additional:
* Battery Assault easily interrupts Centaur Warrunner due to his poor cast animation.
* Power Cogs can negate Stampede.
Clockwerk
* Heroes with long cast animations can be continuously interrupted by Battery Assault: Centaur Warrunner, Jakiro, Leshrac, Naga Siren, Underlord.
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.
Lich
* Heroes with low health will die easily during Duels, and can be farmed for damage in the early game: Crystal Maiden, Lich, Techies, 
Rubick
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
* Single-target disablers will have difficulty locking down a Chaos Knight with Phantasm active: Bane, Beastmaster, 
Bloodseeker, Clockwerk, 
Doom, 
Shadow Shaman.
Lich
* Chain Frost can eliminate Chaos Knight's 
Phantasm army, especially after he clumped up using 
Reality Rift.
* Frost Shield will heavily reduce his army's effectiveness.
Additional:
* Lich's Chain Frost, especially after obtaining its respective talent that provides unlimited bounces, can take out all of Chaos Knight's illusions quickly.
* An Aghanim's Scepter-upgraded Sinister Gaze can hypnotize Chaos Knight and his illusions while also draining his already low mana pool.
Lich
* Chain Frost can bounce to the treants that Nature's Prophet summons.
* Nature's Prophet's 
Sprout can be used to isolate and burst down the squishy Lich.
Additional:
* His treants can prevent Chain Frost from jumping to Nature's Prophet or his allies.
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.
Lich
* Lich is going to have a hard time nuking Huskar because of his high health regeneration from
Berserker's Blood.
Life Break and 
Burning Spear.
Armlet of Mordiggian, even a maxed out Frost Blast will struggle to finish Huskar off.
* Lich is a squishy support without an escape mechanism, making Lich an easy kill thanks to
* Once Huskar has
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.
