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.
Hoodwink
* Slark's Pounce can be used to dodge Hoodwink's abilities or lock her down.
* Shadow Dance makes Slark unhittable from 
Acorn Shot.
* Dark Pact removes all slows from Hoodwink's abilities.
* Hoodwink's already low health output is a great target for Slark's 
Essence Shift.
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
Hoodwink
* Due to Hoodwink's low health and Zeus's high magic damage from 
Arc Lightning, 
Lightning Bolt and 
Static Field as well as global abilities from 
Thundergod's Wrath and 
Nimbus, he can easily kill her throughout the game and also reveal where Hoodwink is positioned or when she's in trees.
Lina
* 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.
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.
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.
Hoodwink
* 
Chaotic Offering's vast area-effect can destroy trees and stun Hoodwink.
* 
Upheaval makes retreating with 
Scurry difficult.
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
* 
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.
* A well-timed Counterspell can block and reflect Laguna Blade.
* 
Mana Void is very strong against Lina, who has a high mana pool and quickly depletes it during fights.
Hoodwink
* 
Wild Axes destroys large amounts of trees specially upgraded with 
Aghanim's Scepter,
Hoodwink
* Storm Spirit can easily make his way to Hoodwink with his ultimate 
Ball lightning, and coupled with Hoodwink's low health and magic resistance, she can be nuked easily.
* Additionally, Ball lightning can destroy a small amount of trees in its destination. Combined with Storm Spirit's frequent usage of his ultimate, he can clear out an area of trees while simultaneously attacking him and dodging incoming attacks.
Hoodwink
* 
Remote Mines are frequently placed in trees, and can thus kill an unwary Hoodwink should she Scurry away due to her low HP pool.
* 
Blast Off! can clear out trees, denying the tactical advantages from Scurry.
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.
Lina
* Heroes that can close the gap can easily chase her down, such as 
Timbersaw with 
Timber Chain and 
Anti-Mage with Blink.
Hoodwink
* Timbersaw’s reliance on nearby trees means he’ll usually be close to Hoodwink.
* More significantly, Timbersaw's tree destroying abilities cut off Hoodwink's escape options, passive and easily foil Acorn Shot or 
Bushwhack combos.
* While channeling 
Sharpshooter, Timbersaw can simply sit his 
Chakram on top of her and unleash his full combo, forcing her to cancel and disengage.
* Timber Chain can be used to dodge Sharpshooter.
Lina
* Timbersaw has a difficult time against magical and pure damage: Lina, 
Leshrac, 
Enchantress, 
Queen of Pain
Hoodwink
* Heroes that can negate Hoodwink's mobility: 
Kunkka, 
Disruptor, 
Mars.
Lina
* Heroes with long animations can be frequently interrupted with Cold Snap: 
Earthshaker, 
Monkey King, 
Shadow Fiend Lina
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.
Hoodwink
* Nether Swap can forcibly reposition Sharpshooter.
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
* Heroes with low mobility that rely on spells: Zeus, Lina, 
Crystal Maiden.
Hoodwink
* 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
* Heroes who have most or all their abilities (damage or disable) unable to pierce spell immunity: 
Keeper of the Light, Lina, Lion, Zeus.
Additional:
* 
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.
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.
Lina
* Squishy heroes (
Io, Crystal Maiden, Lina...), as Earth Spirit can deal tons of damage with Magnetize.
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
* Low health spellcasters: Lina, 
Witch Doctor, 
Tinker, Keeper of the Light, all rely heavily on their spells and are fragile heroes. They all also have avoidable spells, allowing Puck to get to them and quickly burst them down.
Hoodwink
* Heroes that can negate Hoodwink's mobility: Kunkka, Disruptor, Mars.
Lina
* Heroes with a lot of burst damage, especially those who rely on casting spells: Lina, Zeus.
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.
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.
Hoodwink
* Durable heroes relied a lot on their main passive effects and items' effects such as 
Bristleback, 
Underlord, 
Spectre and 
Dragon Knight can be disabled easily with Sharpshooter's break, reducing their potential in teamfights.
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.
Hoodwink
* Heroes with evasions: Phantom Assassin, 
Brewmaster, Hoodwink, Windranger.
Hoodwink
* 
Powershot can destroy the trees to prevent Scurry's passive as well as end Bushwhack prematurely or prevent it completely.
* Acorn Shot does not grant True Strike, thus making it easy for Windranger to evade it with 
Windrun.
* 
Shackleshot stuns Hoodwink for a lengthy duration due to her often reliance on positioning with trees.
Additional:
* Powershot can destroy the trees to prevent Scurry's passive as well as end Bushwhack prematurely or prevent it completely.
* Acorn Shot creates a tree for Windranger to get an easy Shackleshot off.
* Acorn Shot does not grant True Strike, thus making it easy for Windranger to evade it with Windrun.
* Shackleshot stuns Hoodwink for a lengthy duration due to her often reliance on positioning with trees.
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.
Lina
* Light Strike Array catches Morphling while he jumps in from 
Waveform and also prevents Morphling from using his abilities.
* Laguna Blade can kill Morphling quickly before he shifts into 
Attribute Shift (Strength Gain).
Hoodwink
* Sharpshooter can kill easy when Morphling is going on full agility strategy (Only in early and mid game).
* Scurry can help to catch up Morphling when using Waveform or for escape.
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.
Hoodwink
* 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.
Lina
* Heroes with high magical burst can easily kill Huskar when he is at low health: Lion, Lina, Skywrath Mage
Hoodwink
* 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.
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.
Hoodwink
* Heroes with evasion will cause Chen and his creeps to struggle in attacking them and will waste much of Penitence's power: Phantom Assassin, Windranger, Hoodwink.
Lina
* Both Lion's 
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.
Hoodwink
* Abaddon can be killed without triggering his ultimate 
Borrowed Time due to the break applied by Sharpshooter.
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.
Additional:
* 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.

Hoodwink
* Sharpshooter disables both Blur and Coup De Grace, especially with the level 25 talent.
* Because Phantom Assassin is often reliant on critical strikes, Hoodwink can have enough time to simply move near a tree and escape with Scurry.
Additional:
* Sharpshooter disables both Blur and Coup De Grace, weakening her damage and survivability.
* Because Phantom Assassin is often reliant on critical strikes, Hoodwink can have enough time to simply move near a tree and escape with Scurry.
Lina
* Enchantress has a very small health pool and cannot tank Lina's heavy magic burst.
* Untouchable is decently countered by Fiery Soul, exposing Enchantress's weakness to physical damage due to her low armor.
* Lina is decent at clearing creeps and can kill Enchantress's creeps quickly.
Additional:
* 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.
* Lina is decent at clearing creeps and can kill Enchantress' creeps quickly.
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.
Hoodwink
* Monkey King often hides in trees, where he can be easily caught with Bushwhack.
* Acorn Shot can target enemies in the fog, including Monkey King when he is on a tree.
* Sharpshooter provides flying vision along the cast indicator while charging, which can be used to scout the trees for Monkey King.
Hoodwink
* 
Hex and 
Earth Spike do not cancel Sharpshooter, making those two abilities ineffective against her.
* Although Hoodwink should be wary of his Finger of death, as it can possibly kill her.
Lina
* 
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.
Additional:
* 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.
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.
Hoodwink
* Sharpshooter deals massive damage to Bristleback and applies a high duration disable on his passive.
* Bushwhack and Scurry can be used to easily kite Bristleback.
Additional:
* 
Bristleback and 
Warpath can be disabled by Hoodwink's Sharpshooter ability for a long period of time, reducing his both offense and defense.
* Scurry and Bushwhack can be used to kite bristleback.
Lina
* Laguna Blade ends Gyrocopter very quickly in the early to mid game.
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.
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
* 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.
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.
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
* 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.

Luna, 
Dawnbreaker, 
Jakiro, 
Shadow Shaman, 
Death Prophet, Keeper of the Light, Invoker, Leshrac, 
Puck.
Hoodwink
* Durable heroes relied a lot on their main passive effects and items' effects such as Bristleback, Underlord, Spectre and Dragon Knight can be disabled easily with Sharpshooter's break, reducing their potential in teamfights.
Lina
* Any hero who can counter-initiate in anticipation without getting caught in Reverse Polarity: 
Sven, 
Omniknight, 
Enigma, Luna, 
Naga Siren, Mars, Jakiro, Venomancer, 
Elder Titan, 
Faceless Void, Rubick, Keeper of the Light, Pugna, Invoker, Spectre, 
Alchemist,

Oracle, Zeus, Shadow Shaman, 
Phoenix, 
Razor, Huskar, Batrider, Kunkka, 
Tidehunter, 
Wraith King, 
Sand King,

Additional:
* Laguna Blade can kill Dazzle quickly before he casts 
Shallow Grave.
Lina
* Heroes with high burst damage: Lina, Lion, Luna, 
Nyx Assassin, Queen of Pain.
Lina
* Heavy nukers will do well against Cold Embrace (Lina, Zeus etc).
Hoodwink
* Durable heroes relied a lot on their main passive effects and items' effects such as Bristleback, Underlord, Spectre and Dragon Knight can be disabled easily with Sharpshooter's break, reducing their potential in teamfights.
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
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 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.
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.
Additional:
* Light Strike Array cancels out Death Ward from a long distance.
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 with either magical, physical or pure damage burst: Bane, 
Ember Spirit, Leshrac, Lina, Luna, Nyx Assassin, Phantom Assassin, Skywrath Mage, Tinker, 
Ursa, 
Void Spirit.
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.
Lina
* Heroes with summons can find their summons eliminated easily by Lina, like 
Broodmother, 
Nature's Prophet, and 
Chen.
Additional:
* Lina can easily prevent Nature's Prophet's Teleportation escape attempts with Light Strike Array, and can clear Sprout's trees instantly.
* Lina's Dragon Slave and Light Strike Array can kill Nature's Prophet's Treants.
Hoodwink
* Heroes that can negate Hoodwink's mobility: Kunkka, Disruptor, Mars.
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.
Hoodwink
* 
Moon Glaives can ignore certain abilities that either trigger on attack or give evasion under the condition that the heroes who have them are not primary targets. Examples include: Centaur Warrunner, Windranger, Phantom Assassin, Hoodwink etc.
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
* 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.
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
* 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
Hoodwink
* Bushwhack can tear through 
Refraction as it does multiple intervals of damage.
Hoodwink
* Clinkz's item build often counters Hoodwink, including Black King Bar, Monkey King Bar, 
Heaven's Halberd, and 
Scythe of Vyse.
* 
Skeleton Walk can quickly escape Hoodwink abilities.
Lina
* Lina's damage burst can quickly kill Clinkz before he saves them with Skeleton Walk.
* Fiery Soul attack speed bonus removes 
Burning Army easily in all stages of the game.
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.
Hoodwink
* Bushwhack will stun and make a quick work of Phantom Lancer and his illusion when he's near a tree.

* Acorn Shot combined with attack modifiers such as 
Maelstrom or 
Daedalus makes a quick work of Phantom Lancer's illusions.
* Bushwhack will stun Phantom Lancer and his illusions if they're near a tree.
Hoodwink
* Treant can give chase should Hoodwink attempt to Scurry away, and 
Nature's Grasp can slow her down so Treant Protector's teammates can pin Hoodwink down.
Lina
* Light Strike Array and Dragon Slave allows Lina to destroy trees, countering 
Nature's Guise and 
Eyes in the Forest.
* Lina has many tools to remove 
Living Armor's protection.
Lina
*
Mind Flare does tons of damage against Lina because of her high intelligence. 
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.
* The mana burn from
*
Hoodwink
* Nyx's
Spiked Carapace can reflect the damage of 
Sharpshooter, instantly killing hoodwink. Nyx can also use 
Vendetta to position himself in such a way to screen allies from Sharpshooter and catch Hoodwink by surprise.
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.
