Lina
* 
Dragon Slave is easy to steal, and provides Rubick with a useful nuke.
* 
Light Strike Array serves as a cheap nuke as well as a crowd control ability.
* Rubick uses the fixed 0.15 second cast time when casting Light Strike Array, much faster than 
Lina herself.
* Rubick can gurantee a stun by throwing the victim into the area with 
Telekinesis, extending the overall lockdown duration.
* 
Laguna Blade is an awesome ultimate that gives huge burst damage.
* 
Arcane Supremacy (combined with Level 25 talent +40% Spell Amp For Stolen Spells, as of 7.31c) increases its damage before reduction to a whopping 660/882/1134(830/1162/1494) (and even more so with 
Aghanim's Scepter), without considering spell amplification from items.
* Laguna Blade is an intelligence hero with no regen ability, and casting Laguna Blade back to Lina can result in her unexpected sudden death, or severly hinder her presence in the rest of teamfight. Nevertheless, the skill can also be cast on other squishy heroes or help bursting down enemy carries.
* Light Strike Array and Laguna Blade has a short cast range, and Rubick can extend its range thanks to Arcane Supremacy.
Dark Seer
* 
Spell Steal will easily steal all abilities from Dark Seer.
Additional:
* Spell Steal can perfect from Rubick's steal all abilities from Dark Seer. Rubick's always purchase Aghanim's Scepter can two stolens abilities from Dark Seer's and waiting for seconds for second stolen abilities (example: combinated Vacuum and Wall of Replica) and many different combination.

Lina
* Heroes who cannot prevent Sven from killing supports will always be at a disadvantage in fights such as Lina, 
Slark and 
Zeus.
Additional:
* Sven has a high health pool and is a natural 
Black King Bar holder and is very hard to kill for Lina.
* Sven also has high physical damage, making it easy for him to burst her down.
Dark Seer

Dark Seer. 
Underlord and 
Legion Commander may find that later Sven takes care of them very quickly after some jungle farming.
Dark Seer
* 
X Marks the Spot prevents Dark Seer or his allies from escaping with Surge.

Ion Shell, a skill that helps Dark Seer immensely in the laning phase, as well as Surge, a move-speed buff, effectively allowing Oracle to control Dark Seer, especially in the laning phase.
Lina
* 
Arcane Curse discourages Lina from using her abilities, preventing her from building up Fiery Soul stacks.
* 
Last Word and 
Global Silence are great against Lina for the same reason, as well as interrupting her combos and preventing her from casting spells.
Lina
* 
Time Walk will easily backtrack Lina's burst damage (especially Laguna Blade) if not timed correctly.
* During 
Chronosphere, squishy heroes like Lina will be main target of Faceless Void in his ultimate.
Lina
* Light Strike Array has a long delay, making her vulnerable for Ursa's burst.
* Enrage can protect Ursa against Lina's high magical burst.
Lina
* Puck dodges the abilities of Lina Dragon Slave and Light Strike Array with his 
Phase Shift skill, which helps him avoid combining these abilities with Laguna Blade and avoid burst damage from Lina
* Puck forbids Lina to use her abilities with the 
Waning Rift ability, which will help her teammates survive and even give them the opportunity to kill her
Additional:
* Puck dodges the abilities of Lina Dragon Slave and Light Strike Array with his Phase Shift skill, which helps him avoid combining these abilities with Laguna Blade and avoid burst damage from Lina

Lina
* Heroes with low mobility that rely on spells: Zeus, Lina, 
Crystal Maiden.
Lina
* Nether Ward will be problematic for heavy nukers and spammers like 
Skywrath Mage, Lina, 
Lion and 
Invoker, but Pugna must not use Decrepify defensively against them as he will be helping them out more than anything.
Lina
* Marci can be effective against vulnerable squishy heroes that cannot deal with heroes that jump onto them - 
Sniper, 
Drow Ranger, Lina, 
Rubick, etc.
Dark Seer
* Heroes with fast movement abilities will suffer huge damage when afflicted by Rupture: 
Spirit Breaker, 
Earth Spirit, Dark Seer.
Additional:
* 
Rupture can deal a lot of damage to either a surged Dark Seer or his allies and prevent the target from getting into position.
Dark Seer
* Dark Seer's only disable is Vacuum. Though he starts off with high armor and health, he'll eventually have a hard time dealing with high mobility heroes such as 
Weaver or 
Queen of Pain.
Lina
* Heroes with long animations can be frequently interrupted with Cold Snap: 
Earthshaker, 
Monkey King, 
Shadow Fiend Lina
Lina
* Heroes with spell immunity until Lina takes Laguna Blade damage is pure and pierces spell immunity talent, like 
Lifestealer with 
Rage and 
Juggernaut with 
Blade Fury.
Lina
* Squishy heroes (
Io, Crystal Maiden, Lina...), as Earth Spirit can deal tons of damage with Magnetize.
Dark Seer
* Dark Seer relies on Surge for most of his mobility, so he's not very vulnerable to slows, but much more to root effects and walls or pseudo-walls such as 
Disruptor's 
Kinetic Field or Slark's 
Pounce.
Dark Seer
* In general, heroes who are melee with no way to fight back can be very easily poked by Monkey King to gain his Jingu Mastery stacks: Dark Seer, 
Riki, Rubick.
Dark Seer
* 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.
Lina
* Heroes with a lot of burst damage, especially those who rely on casting spells: Lina, Zeus.

Flaming Lasso, 
Pudge with 
Meat Hook and 
Vengeful Spirit with 
Nether Swap.
Lina
* 
Spectral Dagger and 
Haunt allow Spectre to get close to Lina.
* 
Desolate is very strong against Lina, who's usually a bit isolated in fights because of her high attack and cast range.
* 
Dispersion can mitigate a good portion of Lina's burst damage, allowing Spectre to turn on her afterwards.
Additional:
* Spectre can very easily close the distance on Lina with Haunt and Spectral Dagger, and due to Lina's abysmal mobility without a Blink Dagger and terrible health pool and armor, Lina easily gets slaughtered due Desolate.
* Dispersion can mitigate a good portion of Lina's burst damage, allowing Spectre to turn against her afterwards.
Dark Seer
* Dark Seer can pull together Spectre's illusions with 
Vacuum, and Wall of Replica creates an illusion of Spectre that deals massive damage.
Lina
* Rage protects Lifestealer from all of Lina's abilities (except an upgraded Laguna Blade).
* 
Open Wounds is great to keep Lina in place because she has no abilities to help her escape.
Dark Seer
* Heroes with escape abilities : 
Anti-Mage Dark Seer Slark 
Storm Spirit 
Windranger Weaver can kite Lifestealer due to him having no lockdown
Lina
* 
Nethertoxin prevents buildup of Fiery Soul stacks.
* 
Corrosive Skin provides magic resistance against Lina's spells.
* 
Poison Attack and 
Viper Strike can burn away Lina's small health pool.
Dark Seer
* Heroes who do not have nor rely on passive abilities make Nethertoxin much less effective: 
Clinkz, 
Pugna, 
Nature's Prophet, Dark Seer, 
Lycan, 
Tusk
Lina
* 
Dark Pact can be cast during the cast animation of Light Strike Array and dispel its stun.
* Pounce allows Slark to close the gap to Lina.
* 
Shadow Dance prevents Lina from killing Slark with her Laguna Blade when his HP gets low.
Dark Seer
* Dark Seer relies on Surge for most of his mobility, so he's not very vulnerable to slows, but much more to root effects and walls or pseudo-walls such as Disruptor's Kinetic Field or Slark's Pounce.
Lina
* Heroes with heavy magical nukes will take advantage of Slark's poor HP or force him to use Shadow Dance early: Lina, Lion, Zeus
Dark Seer
* Heroes with AoE abilities will hit Slark in Shadow Dance: Lina, 
Jakiro, Underlord, 
Leshrac, Dark Seer, Earthshaker, 
Timbersaw, Crystal Maiden.
Lina
* Heroes with abilities that can pull Lina out of position can easily bring her to their team mates, like Batrider with Flaming Lasso, Pudge with Meat Hook and Vengeful Spirit with Nether Swap.
Dark Seer
* Abilities that deal low damage with high amounts of instances are irrelevant against Pudge during Flesh Heap's active: 
Gyrocopter's 
Rocket Barrage and Dark Seer's Ion Shell are just a couple examples.
Lina
* Pudge has low armor and mobility, making him suspectible to her physical attacks (if Lina is the carry).
* Because 
Dismember is a channeled ability, it can be canceled through Light Strike Array within a distance.
Lina
* Laguna Blade is one of the best tools to kill Terrorblade before he can use 
Sunder due to its high magical (pure with Laguna Blade damage is Pure and pierces Spell Immunity talent) burst damage.
* Dragon Slave and Light Strike Array allows Lina to clear Terrorblade's illusions from both, Conjure Image and 
Manta Style.
Additional:
* Laguna Blade is one of the best tools to kill Terrorblade before he can use Sunder due to its high magical (pure with Laguna Blade damage is Pure and pierces Spell Immunity talent) burst damage.
* Dragon Slave and Light Strike Array allows Lina to clear Terrorblade's illusions from both, Conjure Image and Manta Style.
Dark Seer
* Dark Seer's Vacuum and Ion Shell allows him to clear a wave of Terrorblade's illusions.
* Because Terrorblade often builds items that require 
Ultimate Orb like Manta Style and 
Eye of Skadi, Dark Seer can create a very strong illusion of Terrorblade with Wall of Replica and 
Normal Punch from Aghanim's Scepter.
* If Dark Seer can use Vacuum to help teammates land their AoE abilities, Terrorblade will be quickly killed before he even gets a chance to use Sunder.

Lina
* Venomancer has low health, which makes him vulnerable to Lina's heavy magic damage.
* Fiery Soul attack speed bonus removes 
Plague Wards easily in all stages of the game.
Dark Seer
* Venomancer is a low health hero and low range hero who is easy to harass with Ion Shell on a creep in the early game.
* Venomancer depends entirely on all his slows to keep distance or chase, but since Surge ignores slows, it is nearly impossible for Venomancer to hunt or run away from Dark Seer or his surged teammates.
Lina
* Lina's high damage burst from Dragon Slave, Light Strike Array and Laguna Blade can easily kill Chen's allies or Chen himself before he can use 
Hand of God.
Additional:
* Lina's high damage burst from Dragon Slave, Light Strike Array and Laguna Blade can easily kill Chen's allies or Chen himself before he can use Hand of God.
Dark Seer

* Surge applies haste movement and negates the slow from 
Penitence, allowing Dark Seer to easily escape from Chen and his creeps.
* Dark Seer's full combo from Dark Seer's Vacuum, Wall of Replica and Normal Punch from Aghanim's Scepter can often kill Chen or any of his allies before he can save them with Hand of God.
Additional:

Nature's Guise and 
Eyes in the Forest.

Lina
* Light Strike Array catches Meepo and his clones if he tried to gank Lina with 
Earthbind & 
Poof.
* Laguna Blade can quickly kill Meepo and his clones before they escape with Poof.
Dark Seer
* Dark Seer can take great advantage of 
Divided We Stand by putting an Ion Shell on a clone in order to harass them effectively.
* Vacuum can take a single Meepo and disable him for Dark Seer and his teammates to take out.
Lina
* Enchantress has pitiful health, and cannot tank Lina's heavy magic damage.
* 
Untouchable is decently countered by Fiery Soul, exposing Enchantress' weakness to physical damage due to her low armor.

Centaur Warrunner.
Lina
* Heroes with summons can find their summons eliminated easily by Lina, like 
Broodmother, Nature's Prophet, and 
Chen.
Additional:
* Light Strike Array in combination with Dragon Slave can easily clear Broodmother's spiders.
* Laguna Blade offers extensive damage that can kill Broodmother early on or before she is able to use Insatiable Hunger in attempts to salvage a fight.
Dark Seer
* Ion Shell is a very powerful weapon against Broodmother's Spiderlings and makes her laning much harder.
Additional:
* Ion Shell zones out Broodmother in the laning phase, and can kill her spiderlings if used on one Spiderling in a group.
* Vacuum can pull Broodmother out of the treeline.
Lina
* Heroes who can clear the waves of Enigma's Eidolons: Lina, 
Luna, 
Dawnbreaker, Jakiro, 
Shadow Shaman, 
Death Prophet, 
Keeper of the Light, Invoker, Leshrac, 
Puck.
Dark Seer
* Heroes that rely on summons will suffer against Ion Shell, which kills them very quickly: 
Beastmaster, Broodmother, 
Enigma, Nature's Prophet, 
Visage, 
Warlock, Wraith King.
Lina
* Since Windranger is bad against magical damage, heroes with continuous magical damage or magical nukes can blast her: Zeus, 
Tinker, Leshrac, 
Viper, Skywrath Mage, Lion, Lina, 
Venomancer.
Dark Seer
* With Normal Punch from Aghanim's Scepter, Dark Seer can gain an advantage against heroes who rely on evasion as Normal Punch has true strike:

Dark Seer
* Heroes that rely on summons will suffer against Ion Shell, which kills them very quickly: Beastmaster, Broodmother, Enigma, Nature's Prophet, Visage, Warlock, Wraith King.
Lina
* Since Naga Siren is a hero who barely goes for Black King Bar, she is vulnerable to nukers with strong magical damage and big area-of-effect spells in every game more than any other carry heroes: 
Sand King, Jakiro, Leshrac, Lina, Earthshaker, Zeus.
Dark Seer
* Heroes that rely on illusions typically spawn very strong illusions inside Dark Seer Wall of Replica that he can use against them or their team: 
Phantom Lancer, 
Chaos Knight, 
Naga Siren, 
Terrorblade.
Lina
* Dragon Slave deals reliable magic damage during the laning phase against Mars.
* Lina's 
Eul's Scepter of Divinity and Light Strike Array combo can interrupt Mars from being disruptive for a decent amount of time and leave him vulnerable for follow up stuns.
* Laguna Blade deals massive magical damage, and pure damage with Aghanim's Scepter.
Lina
* Fragile support heroes are all ideal targets for the Phantom Assassin. Heroes such as Lina and 
Witch Doctor are all prime targets that may not be able to react quickly and fight back due to Phantom Assassin's sudden appearance.
Lina
* Laguna Blade is one of the best tools to kill Phantom Assassin before she can do anything in early-to-mid game due to its high magical (pure with Laguna Blade damage is Pure and pierces Spell Immunity talent) burst damage.
* 
Blur offers no protection against Lina's abilities. Likewise, Lina can counter Blur's evasion by buying either 
Silver Edge or 
Monkey King Bar.
* Lina just has to be careful about 
Fan of Knives from 
Aghanim's Shard and 
Coup De Grace, as Fan of Knives can deal pure damage to Lina and disable Fiery Soul awhile Coup De Grace can deal serious damage to her even if she is spell immune, which may force Lina to buy 
Ethereal Blade to deal with Phantom Assassin.

Dark Seer
* With Normal Punch from Aghanim's Scepter, Dark Seer can gain an advantage against heroes who rely on evasion as Normal Punch has true strike: Phantom Assassin, Windranger, Hoodwink.
Lina
* Being a hero with low health and abysmal mobility, Lina can nuke her down easily.
* Since Crystal Maiden's 
Freezing Field is a channeled ability, Lina can use her Light Strike Array to cancel it easily.
Lina
* Eul's Scepter of Divinity is an item Lina commonly buys, which in combination with and Light Strike Array can disable Mirana if she tries to Leap away.
* Laguna Blade's magical (pure with Laguna Blade damage is Pure and pierces Spell Immunity talent) burst damage takes advantage of Mirana's below average health.
Additional:
* 
Moonlight Shadow does little good against Dragon Slave and Light Strike Array.
* Lina's damage burst can quickly kill Mirana's teammates before she saves them with Moonlight Shadow.
Lina
* Outlanes Shadow Fiend on the central line, due to the fact that Lina's attack range exceeds the range of Shadow Fiend, which makes it difficult for him to fend off her attacks and approach creeps, thus Lina has more level and gold
* Defeats Shadow Fiend` from Burst with a combination of skills: Light Strike Array, Dragon Slave, Laguna Blade, Shadow Fiend does not have a large pool of health before buying an item: 
Satanic , which is why Lina's strong magic damage is enough to kill him quickly

Lina
* Laguna Blade ends Gyrocopter very quickly in the early to mid game.
Lina
* 
Guardian Angel is generally useless against Lina as she primarily relies on magical damage. Lina can also dispel it with Eul's Scepter of Divinity as she is a hero who often goes for it. Eul's Scepter of Divinity can later be upgraded into 
Wind Waker, which will allow Lina to escape from Omniknight.
* Laguna Blade can often finish off Omniknight's allies before he can save them with 
Purification and 
Heavenly Grace. This can become even worse once Lina picks Laguna Blade damage is pure and pierces spell immunity talent, which will allow it to ignore both, any form of spell immunity and Guardian Angel.
Lina
* Laguna Blade can kill Dazzle quickly before he casts 
Shallow Grave.
Dark Seer
* Surge allows for Dark Seer and his allies to escape from Upheaval due to it ignoring any slow.
Lina
* Lina has very high magic burst damage to use against the low-health-pool Luna. Laguna Blade can also be upgraded with Laguna Blade damage is Pure and pierces Spell Immunity to bypass Black King Bar, making Lina even more of a threat. Luna however, can easily counter this problem with 
Linken's Sphere, which is a common item for her.
* For the same reasons, Lina makes a very powerful ally for Luna when they are in the same team.
Lina
* Lina builds 
Shadow Blade (and upgrades it into a Silver Edge), which makes it hard for Ancient Apparition to land his abilities.
* Laguna Blade can kill Ancient Apparition easily due to his low health pool and lack of mobility.
Lina
* Laguna Blade deals amplified magical damage (pure from Aghanim's Scepter) to Necrophos when he is under the effects of 
Ghost Shroud.
Additional:
* Laguna Blade's damage as well as damage from all of Lina's abilities will be greatly amplified during Ghost Shroud.

Huskar, Dark Seer
Dark Seer

Attribute Shift (Strength Gain).
Dark Seer
* Dark Seer can increase the movement speed of allies with Surge, breaking Static Link.
Lina
* Any hero who can counter-initiate in anticipation without getting caught in Reverse Polarity: Sven,

Elder Titan, 
Faceless Void, Rubick, Keeper of the Light, Pugna, Invoker, 
Spectre, Alchemist, 
Treant Protector, Lina, 
Oracle, Zeus, Shadow Shaman, 
Phoenix, 
Razor, Huskar, Batrider, 
Kunkka, 
Tidehunter, Wraith King, Sand King, 
Medusa, Dawnbreaker.
Lina
* Heroes that can kill Death Prophet with nukes can prevent her from using Exorcism to its full duration or using it at all: Lina, Lion, Puck, 
Morphling.
Dark Seer
* Heroes with hastes: Dark Seer, Lycan
Lina
* Heroes that commonly attack ethereal units will not have any problems against Muerta's Pierce The Veil: Tinker, Jakiro, Lina, Luna, Pugna or 
Ogre Magi.
Lina
* Any hero with high attack speed will be a threat to Phoenix when it initiates, as they can easily tear down a 
Supernova, perhaps even while debuffed by Fire Spirits: Juggernaut, Clinkz, 
Troll Warlord, Beastmaster, Lina.
Lina
* Heroes with powerful spammable abilities will prove problematic for Grimstroke as Ink Swell does not protect him from them: Zeus, Skywrath Mage, Tinker, Lina
Dark Seer
* The haste provided by Dark Seer's Surge or a {Rune:Haste} renders your slows ineffective.
Lina
* Heavy nukers will do well against Cold Embrace (Lina, Zeus etc).
Lina
* Heroes who have channeled abilities can be stunned by Light Strike Array, like Witch Doctor with 
Death Ward and 
Bane's 
Fiend's Grip.
Lina
* Heroes who have channeled abilities can be stunned by Light Strike Array, like Witch Doctor with Death Ward and Bane's Fiend's Grip.

Dark Seer
* Dark Seer's only disable is Vacuum. Though he starts off with high armor and health, he'll eventually have a hard time dealing with high mobility heroes such as Weaver or Queen of Pain.
Lina
* Lina has a very long range of attack, which completely overlaps the range of Queen of Pain's abilities and attacks, which is why even a single 
Shadow Strike roll can become deplorable, since Lina will shoot Queen of Pain from a long distance before and after the Shadow Strike roll. And with the help of the abilities of Light Strike Array and Laguna Blade, Lina can even kill Queen of Pain because of her small health reserve if she is exposed to a blow

Lina
* Lina can burst Vengeful Spirit down, provided she can land Light Strike Array before Vengeful Spirit lands her Magic Missile.
* Laguna Blade deals massive damage, often being enough to kill a squishy Vengeful Spirit.
Lina

Finger of Death and Lina's Laguna Blade have a 0.25 second delay before the damage is dealt.
Lina
* Lina is a common Eul's Scepter of Divinity carrier which can waste some duration of Borrowed Time and following up with Laguna Blade if timed correctly.
Lina
* 
Mind Flare does tons of damage against Lina because of her high intelligence.
* The mana burn from 
Vendetta also prevents Lina from casting her full combo.
* 
Spiked Carapace can easily be used to counter Lina's abilities because of their long cast animation, and could probably kill Lina outright if Laguna Blade is reflected.
Lina
* Heroes who build Black King Bar as either core or situational item will be able to fight back against Nyx Assassin and freely attack him as Spiked Carapace cannot pierce spell immunity at all: 
Axe, Broodmother, Dawnbreaker, Enigma, Huskar, Jakiro, Legion Commander, Lina, Luna, Lycan, 
Slardar, Slark, Troll Warlord, Witch Doctor.
Dark Seer
* 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.
Lina
* Heroes that can close the gap can easily chase her down, such as Timbersaw with 
Timber Chain and Anti-Mage with 
Blink.
Lina
* Timbersaw has a difficult time against magical and pure damage: Lina, Leshrac, 
Enchantress, Queen of Pain
Lina
* Storm Spirit can quickly close the distance with Lina using 
Ball Lightning. In addition, Ball Lightning can be used as a way to dodge the abilities of Dragon Slave and Light Strike Array

* A Sniper who is somewhat competent at positioning is hardly going to be affected by any of Dark Seer's spells thanks to 
Take Aim.
* However, an illusion of Sniper made with Wall of Replica is extremely powerful, and hard to deal with.
Lina
* Lina defeats Sniper on the mid, because she has the same attack range as him, and her Dragon Slave ability deals much more damage to creeps, as well as to Sniper himself, than 
Shrapnel, which creates uncomfortable conditions for Sniper to farm on the line, which is why Lina either punches Sniper harder than he either pushes a pack of creeps up to the tower and finishes off his creeps under it, preventing Sniper from earning gold and a level.

Dark Seer
* The constant dispel from Demonic Purge will make any attempt to save the victim or himself by Surge become futile. For what it's worth, Demonic Purge will also dispel Ion Shell.
Lina
* Dragon Slave will make quick work of the spawned illusions from Disruption.
* An attempt to save an ally using Disruption can easily become a perfect setup for a Light Strike Array for the enemy.
* Shadow Demon doesn't have the burst damage to take Lina out of the fight quickly, although Demonic Purge can help his allies kill a squishy Lina.
Lina
* 
Doppelganger can be used to easily dodge Light Strike Array if timed correctly.
* Phantom Lancer can quickly deplete Lina's mana pool with his illusions and deal massive damage from it simultaneously since Phantom Lancer is a natural 
Diffusal Blade carrier.
Dark Seer
* Ion Shell helps taking down illusions quickly, making it easy to identify the real Phantom Lancer.
* Surge allows Dark Seer and his teammates to run away from Phantom Lancer, who relies on his 
Phantom Rush to chase enemies.
Lina
*
Blink allows Anti-Mage to get on top of Lina and deal damage with his 
Mana Break.
Counterspell makes Anti-Mage tanky against Lina's heavy magic damage.
Mana Void is very strong against Lina, who has a high mana pool and quickly depletes it during fights.
*
* A well-timed Counterspell can block and reflect Laguna Blade.
*
Dark Seer
* Dark Seer's strength lies in his high-mana cost skills. So
Mana Break can be a great nuisance for him, since it can reduce his mana and prevent him from casting his spells.
Mana Void can deal a lot of damage if Dark Seer spent a lot of mana on his abilities.
