Nature's Prophet
* Treants increase Echo Slam's damage.
* Earthshaker's AoE stuns can hit Nature's Prophet through 
Sprout, without having direct line of sight, in order to interrupt 
Teleportation.
Additional:
* 
Echo Slam can do a lot of damage to Nature's Prophet and his teammates if they stand close to his Treants.
Broodmother
* 
Aftershock in combination with 
Enchant Totem prevents Broodmother from continuing to attack Earthshaker without being repeatedly stunned.
* Echo Slam is greatly amplified by Spiderlings, often instantly killing Broodmother, her swarm, and anyone else unfortunate enough to be nearby.
* Earthshaker's vast amount of stuns makes it difficult for Broodmother to continue attacking enemies (to continue lifestealing with Insatiable Hunger) without 
Black King Bar.
Additional:
* Echo Slam's damage potential increases phenomenally due to Broodmother's hordes of spiderlings and spiderites.
* Long ranged Fissures can hit Broodmother if she runs into the treeline at the edges of the map.
Nature's Prophet
* Berserker's Call and Counter Helix will still hit targets inside of a defensive Sprout.
* Counter Helix clears treants in no time.
* Nature's Prophet's low damage is unlikely to hurt Axe until the very late game.
* Nature's Prophet's low mobility makes him very easy for Axe to chase down or initiate, especially when affected by Battle Hunger.
Broodmother
* Berserker's Call can catch Broodmother in her web, as well as groups of spiderlings. This is particularly effective when Broodmother attempts to push towers with her spiderlings.
* Counter Helix destroys spiderlings very quickly and earns Axe a good deal of gold.
Additional:
* 
Berserker's Call forces Broodmother and her spiderlings to attack, allowing for large amounts of pure damage to be done through 
Counter Helix.
Nature's Prophet
* Jakiro's skill arsenal can ruin Nature's Prophet's gameplay: Dual Breath and Liquid Fire can clear treants from 
Nature's Call while simultaneously slowing Nature's Prophet, Ice Path can disrupt Nature's Prophet's escaping attempt with Teleportation, and Macropyre can easily clear treants from Nature's Call.
* Jakiro is a common 
Hurricane Pike wielder, which allows him to escape from Sprout.
Additional:
* Jakiro's 
Macropyre can help him to escape from Sprout and quickly clears Treants.
* Jakiro can disrupt Nature's Prophet's escape attempt with Sprout and Teleportation by using 
Ice Path.
Broodmother
* Broodmother and her Spiderlings need to be very careful during the laning stage against Jakiro, as Jakiro can take down Broodmother's Spiderlings, preventing her from pushing as well as gaining a good amount of gold.
Nature's Prophet
* Ember Spirit can easily deal with Nature's Call by using his Flame Guard and with 
Battle Fury. He also has multiple ways of escaping Sprout. Additionally, Ember Spirit can break Sprout's trees with Activate Fire Remnant and interrupt Teleportation with Searing Chains.
Additional:
* 
Sleight of Fist with Battle Fury deals a lot of damage to Nature's Prophet's team if they stand close to his Treants, as well as killing all the Treants with ease.
* Ember Spirit with 
Fire Remnant and 
Boots of Travel can be very active around the map, which enables him to quickly teleport and defend the objective Nature's Prophet is attacking whenever he tries to push.
Broodmother
* Sleight of Fist keeps Ember Spirit invulnerable until he hits every unit in its area of effect allowing him to stall for large amounts of time against Broodmother and her large amounts of spiderlings, or potentially damaging them enough if equipped with an item to improve wave clearing such as Battle Fury or 
Maelstrom to prevent her pushes entirely.
* 
Flame Guard will damage any of Broodmother's spiders in an area, deterring her from attempting to kill him. It can also be used during Sleight of Fist to amplify damage done.
* Fire Remnant allows Ember Spirit an escape from Broodmother that is unaffected by her Incapacitating Bite.
Nature's Prophet
* Sand King's 
Caustic Finale combined with 
Sand Storm will kill Treants easily.
* Sand King can interrupt Teleportation with 
Burrowstrike, even through Sprout.

Blink Dagger and Burrowstrike.
Nature's Prophet
* 
Ball Lightning can be used to clear Nature's Prophet's Treants and easily destroys Sprout.
* 
Electric Vortex prevents Nature's Prophet's escaping using Teleportation.
Broodmother
* Ball Lightning and Electric Vortex will catch Broodmother before she has a chance to retreat, and is able to catch her through the trees.
* Conversely, Ball Lightning also allows him to easily escape Broodmother, as she has no way to prevent him from using it before getting 
Orchid Malevolence.
Nature's Prophet
* Shadow Fiend can easily farm his treants and get easy Necromastery Stacks.
* If Shadow Fiend buys Boots of Travel and 
Shadow Blade, he can counteract Nature's Prophet's split-push.
Broodmother
* Spiderlings are a good source of farm for 
Necromastery and can be quickly killed with 
Shadowraze.
* Shadow Fiend is a natural Black King Bar carrier, protecting him from any of Broodmother's abilities.
* 
Requiem of Souls combined with 
Eul's Scepter of Divinity can potentially kill Broodmother before she gets a Black King Bar.
Nature's Prophet
* All three of Timbersaw’s abilities give him an easy way out of Sprout, and can also destroy nearby trees so Nature's Prophet can’t spawn Treants.
* If Prophet tries to escape with a self Sprout/Teleport, Timbersaw can easily cut down all its trees to get to him and deal increased 
Whirling Death damage as well.
* 
Chakram heavily discourages teleports.
* Timbersaw is quite well suited to clearing massive waves of Treants almost instantly with all of his area of effect pure damage abilities, preventing Nature's Prophet from pushing.
* Treants can give Reactive Armor many charges quite quickly.
Additional:
* Timbersaw can easily cut down trees from Sprout, making it very difficult for Nature's Prophet to teleport away or trap enemies.
* Timbersaw's abilities quickly clear out treants.
* 
Reactive Armor negates most of the damage of Nature's Prophet's treants, and Timbersaw can often allow himself to be attacked in order to heal himself.
Broodmother
* Reactive Armor prevents Broodmother's spiderlings from being able to effectively harass Timbersaw in the lane.
* 
Timber Chain's high mobility makes Silken Bola's slow irrelevant, unless Broodmother already bought her Orchid.
* Silken Bola's miss chance doesnt affect Rizzrack that much because he does not rely on his autoattacks much.
* 
Lotus Orb items for Timbersaw make Silken Bola useless.
* Timbersaw's abilities can destroy any trees that Broodmother attempts to hide in and his AoE abilities can quickly clear her Spiderlings.
Additional:
* Spiderlings deal almost no damage against Reactive Armor. They also die quickly from Timbersaw's AoE abilities.
* Broodmother has no mobility ability except the movement speed buff from 
Spin Web, allowing Timbersaw to easily escape her 
Silken Bola with Timber Chain.
* Timbersaw's tree-cutting abilities make it difficult for Broodmother to hide, especially near the edges of the map.
Nature's Prophet
* 
Nature's Prophet is heavily countered by Meepo, not only Meepo can kill the treants with a single Poof, but he can also stop Nature's Prophet from using Teleportation, and can gain vision inside Sprout.
Additional:
* Meepo can net Nature's Prophet's treants with 
Earthbind and then 
Poof them, putting an end to his pushing.
* Skilled 
Meepos can rival and even exceed Nature's Prophet's global presence by combining Poof with Boots of Travel, meaning that he can not only stop his push, but also can kill him if he is not careful.
Broodmother
* Earthbind prevents Broodmother from escaping Meepo's attacks.
* Poof will quickly clear any nearby spiders.
* Broodmother often picks off single target heroes. With Meepo's 
Divided We Stand, it gets a lot harder once every Meepo Poofs in.
Nature's Prophet
* 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.
Broodmother
* 
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.
Additional:
* Ion Shell is a very powerful weapon against Broodmother's Spiderlings and makes her laning much harder.
Nature's Prophet
* Most summons and illusions can barely hurt Tidehunter at all, after their attacks get reduced by Anchor Smash and blocked by Kraken Shell: Nature's Prophet, Enigma
* Also Ravage's large area of effect and damage can easily damage all those units at once, or just straight up clear them.
Broodmother
* 
Kraken Shell makes Tidehunter take nearly no damage from Spiderlings.
* 
Anchor Smash kills Spiderlings in one or two casts, should Broodmother try to swarm Tidehunter with them.
Nature's Prophet
* Heroes who summon multiple units that are not spell immune. Nature's Prophet,
Lycan,Beastmaster
Broodmother
* Your AoE abilities should make quick work of her spiderlings.
Nature's Prophet
* 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.
Broodmother
* 
X Marks the Spot prevents Broodmother from escaping.
* 
Tidebringer can clear Broodmother's spiders if they get in range.
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.
Nature's Prophet
* Heroes that have AoE damage: 
Lina, 
Keeper of the Light, 
Timbersaw, 
Leshrac, 
Bristleback, 
Axe.
Broodmother
* Quill Spray destroys spiderlings, and hits Broodmother even when she's regenerating in her webs. This makes Bristleback one of her hardest counters in lane.
Additional:
* 
Bristleback reduces most of Broodmother's and her spiderlings' damage.
* 
Quill Spray will hit any spiders in its proximity, hindering Broodmother's fighting and farming capabilities.
Nature's Prophet
* Keeper of the Light can stall pushes with 
Illuminate. This makes him strong against pushing heroes: 
Terrorblade 
Naga siren Nature's Prophet and 
Anti-Mage
Broodmother
* Illuminate wipes out Broodmother's spiders and prevents her from pushing the lane. It also gives vision to reveal where broodmother is hiding in the trees.
Nature's Prophet
* Heroes who have summons, which can be quickly cleared by his powerful area of effect skill: Nature's Prophet, Enigma, Lycan
Broodmother
* 
Swashbuckle can be used for Pangolier to escape or kill Broodmother's spiders. Combined with 
Lucky Shot Pangolier can potentially disarm Broodmother preventing her from lifestealing off enemies.
* 
Shield Crash can be used for wave clear to deal with Broodmother's spiders.
* 
Rolling Thunder can be used as an escape or a means of initiating on Broodmother.
Additional:
* Swashbuckle and Shield Crash quickly destroys Broodmother's spiderlings and spiderites.
* Lucky Shot's disarm is very valuable when dealing with a Broodmother during her 
Insatiable Hunger.
Nature's Prophet

Nature's Prophet
* Acid Spray and Greevil's Greed will quickly destroy pushes with treants.
* Because of his poor movement speed,Alchemist can catch up and kill him with Chemical Rage.
Broodmother
* Alchemist can easily farm Spiderlings with Acid Spray and Greevil's Greed.
* Alchemist's Chemical Rage nullifies Broodmother's Insatiable Hunger
Additional:
* 
Greevil's Greed makes Broodmother’s spiderlings far more valuable to Alchemist making it important that he does farm them as opposed to other heroes where the spider's bounties are negligible.
* 
Acid Spray makes it difficult to attack Alchemist in lane without losing some spiderlings to the damage over time, potentially giving him farm he wouldn't have otherwise.
Nature's Prophet
* Sprout is good for trapping melee carries with no escape abilities: 
Sven, 
Alchemist, 
Lifestealer etc.
Nature's Prophet

Nature's Prophet
* Tinker has great map presence because of 
Keen Conveyance and 
Rearm, which means he can always teleport and defend towers whenever Nature's Prophet tries to push.

Nature's Prophet
* Once caught in Bear's Entangle, Nature's Prophet cannot escape with Teleportation.

Soul Rip
Nature's Prophet
* Starbreaker and Celestial Hammer does high AoE damage which easily clears {U:Treant}, shutting down most of Nature's Prophets damage and pushing power.
* Dawnbreaker can teleport to deal with split-pushing Nature's Prophet and rejoin her team with Solar Guardian when they require it.
* Since Starbreaker clears trees in its path followed by a stun at the end Nature's Prophet will be unable to escape the dangerous situation by using Sprout on himself and teleporting away with either Teleportation or 
Town Portal Scroll.

Nature's Prophet
* 
Legion Commander's 
Overwhelming Odds deals damage for every Treant it hits, which allows it to easily wipe out large waves of them.

* Aghanim's Shard upgraded Stone Form alow allows Visage himself to stun Nature's Prophet whenever he is trying to use Teleportation.
* Aghanim's Scepter gives Visage 
Silent as the Grave ability, which allows him and his {U:Familiar}s to either escape from Nature's Prophet or give him a surprise attack.

* 
Rocket Flare can be used to scout Nature's Prophet if he is hiding in the forest, and can provide vision inside of Sprout.
Broodmother
* 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:

Nature's Prophet
* 
Moon Glaives and 
Lunar Blessing help Luna quickly kill Nature's Prophet's treants.
* Luna can easily cancel Teleportation with her 
Lucent Beam.
* Even though Nature's Prophet can evade all of Luna's abilities with Shadow Blade, a smart Luna will always buy 
Dust of Appearance to provide vision on Shadow Fiend to her and her team.
Additional:
* Moon Glaives and Lunar Blessing help Luna quickly kill Nature's Prophet's treants. Aghanim's Shard upgraded Moon Glaives can also reduce damage Nature's Prophet will inflict on Luna while they are active.
* Luna can easily cancel Teleportation with her Lucent Beam.
* Even though Nature's Prophet can evade all of Luna's abilities with Shadow Blade, a smart Luna will always buy Dust of Appearance to provide vision on Nature's Prophet to her and her team.
Nature's Prophet
* Heroes that create illusions: Spectre, 
Shadow Demon, Phantom Lancer, Naga Siren, Chaos Knight, Terrorblade) or bring other units into the fight (such as Nature's Prophet, 
Lone Druid, Chen, 
Enchantress, Meepo and 
Arc Warden) can cause Eclipse to strike the illusions/summons unintentionally. However, in many cases Moon Glaives can resolve this issue and eliminate them before activating Eclipse, but that will require lots of farming for right-click items.
Nature's Prophet
* Nature's Prophet's Nature's Call can destroy trees that Treant Protecter is hiding in, revealing him.
Broodmother
* Spiderlings melt away 
Living Armor almost instantly.
* The vision from 
Eyes In The Forest may prove dangerous for Broodmother, however.
Nature's Prophet
* Heroes who do not have nor rely on passive abilities make Nethertoxin much less effective: Clinkz, 
Pugna, Nature's Prophet, Dark Seer, Lycan, Tusk
Broodmother
* Viper's lack of escape and durability means he can be ran over in a laning stage by 
Spawn Spiderlings.
* Broodmother can bring Viper down quickly with Insatiable Hunger activated.
Nature's Prophet
* Heroes with high mobility can approach Sniper: Anti-Mage, Earth Spirit, 
Io, Nature's Prophet, Pangolier, Puck, Queen of Pain and most notably Riki.
Broodmother
* Sniper is completely helpless against Broodmother's abilities, and can be seriously damaged by Spiderlings in lane, especially when 
Shrapnel is on cooldown.
Nature's Prophet
* 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.
Broodmother
* Support heroes with low mobility can be slowed further by Incapacitating Bite, and swarmed by Spiderlings for an easy kill: Shadow Shaman, Visage, Dazzle, Rubick, Lich.
Additional:
* Chain Frost can bounce to the Spiderlings that Broodmother spawns.
Nature's Prophet
* Heroes with summons or illusions makes Sacred Arrow harder to land: Shadow Demon, Phantom Lancer, Nature's Prophet.
Broodmother
* Though Mirana can clear waves of Broodmother's spiderlings with 
Starstorm, Broodmother will often stick with her spiderlings from Spawn Spiderlings, which in combination with the huge speed provided by Spin Web can make it hard for Mirana to hit her with 
Sacred Arrow.
* Broodmother commonly buys Orchid Malevolence and it's upgrade 
Bloodthorn, which allows her to prevent Mirana from escaping with both, 
Leap and 
Moonlight Shadow and from fighting back with Starstorm.
* Aghanim's Scepter gives Broodmother access to Spinner's Snare, which allows her to create invisible lines on her webs from Spin Web that will root Mirana, deal damage over time to Mirana and reveal Mirana if she or any of her allies unwittingly step on them while affected by Moonlight Shadow, disrupting her attempts to initiate with Moonlight Shadow and Sacred Arrow, and prevent her to use Leap while also alerting Broodmother on her attempts to ambush her and her allies.

Nature's Prophet
* Heroes with illusions and summons can swarm and overwhelm Bane, who has no area abilities to deal with them outside from Aghanim's Shard upgraded 
Brain Sap: Broodmother, Chaos Knight, Naga Siren, Nature's Prophet, Phantom Lancer, Terrorblade, Visage, Warlock, Wraith King.
Broodmother
* Insatiable Hunger's attack damage amplification can reduce the effectiveness of 
Enfeeble, and the Enfeeble will not weaken the magical damage output from Silken Bola, Spawn Spiderlings and Spinner's Snare from Aghanim's Scepter, though it will still reduce their cast range.
* Bane's single-targeted arsenal of abilities make him an easy target for Broodmother and her Spiderlings.
* Broodmother often buys Orchid Malevolence and it's upgrade Bloodthorn, which allows her to cancel 
Fiend's Grip, and completely shut Bane down.

Nature's Prophet
* Heroes with summons like Broodmother, Enigma, Nature's Prophet; or illusions, like Naga Siren, Terrorblade are effective at keeping the choke points and rune spawns safe from Proximity Mines.
Broodmother
* Heroes with summons like Broodmother, Enigma, Nature's Prophet; or illusions, like Naga Siren, Terrorblade are effective at keeping the choke points and rune spawns safe from Proximity Mines.
Nature's Prophet
* Heroes who can summon illusions and summons because Terrorblade has no abilities to deal with multiple enemies at once outside Reflection: Shadow Shaman, Naga Siren, Broodmother, Lycan, Enigma, Chaos Knight, Phantom Lancer, Shadow Demon, Dark Seer, Nature's Prophet, Invoker, 
Morphling, Visage, Grimstroke with Aghanim's Scepter.

Nature's Prophet
* Heroes with summons: Lycan, Broodmother, Visage, Nature's Prophet, Warlock.
Broodmother
* Heroes with summons: Lycan, Broodmother, Visage, Nature's Prophet, Warlock.
Broodmother
* Enchantress's lack of area-of-effect abilities allows Broodmother to swarm her with Spiderlings.
* Spawn Spiderlings can kill enchanted creeps and create Spiderlings in their place.
* However, bear in mind that 
Untouchable makes it harder for Broodmother to actually hit Enchantress, even if Broodmother is spell immune. And Broodmother's only way to counter this is either by buying 
Silver Edge, buying items that deal high magical damage like Dagon, or by buying items that give high attack speed like 
Moon Shard.
Additional:
* Enchantress can be easily overwhelmed with Broodmother's spiderlings from Spawn Spiderlings and Enchantress can only control one of them with 
Enchant and she has no good waveclear (Spawn Spiderlings can also kill creeps controlled with Enchant).
* However, Untouchable's attack speed reduction can make it difficult for Broodmother to kill Enchantress even with any form of spell immunity.
Broodmother
* Chen has no area-of-effect spells to deal with Broodmother's spiderlings and must rely on his creeps to take care of them.
* Spawn Spiderlings can kill Chen's creeps and spawn spiderlings in their place.
* Spin Web allows Broodmother to disrupt Chen's jungling.
* Silken Bola will cause Chen and his creeps's attack to miss more often while also making them more vulnerable to magical damage, especially if Broodmother picks 400 AoE Silken Bola talent.
* Broodmother is a natural Bloodthorn wielder, which will allow her to prevent Chen from trying to save himself with 
Hand of God while also making him more vulnerable to damage, and when combined with Insatiable Hunger, it will spell a quick and certain death for Chen. Bloodthorn's passive ability will also reduce any spell damage Chen tries to inflict with his creeps.
* Spinner's Snare from Aghanim's Scepter allows Broodmother to create invisible lines on her webs from Spin Web that will root Chen and his creeps, deal damage over time to them and reveal them if they unwittingly steps on them, disrupting Chen's jungling even more while also alerting Broodmother on their attempts to ambush her and her allies.

Quelling Blade or until he unlocks 
Time Lapse.
* 
The Swarm beetles can be destroyed with Nature's Prophet's Treants.
Nature's Prophet
* Teleportation allows Natures Prophet to save himself from the damage over time of 
Venomous Gale, 
Poison Sting and Poison Nova.
* 
Plague Wards can be destroyed with Nature's Prophet's Treants.
Broodmother
* None of Arc Warden's abilities are very effective against Broodmother and her spiderlings.
* A good Broodmother looks to end the match early while Arc Warden, a very item reliant hero, thrives in longer matches.
* Arc Warden has no innate disables to stop Broodmother from lifestealing with Insatiable Hunger and shredding through his relatively lower armor.
Broodmother
* Drow Ranger's lack of mobility and area-of-effect abilities makes her easy prey for Broodmother and her Spiderlings.
Broodmother
* Broodmother can kill Enigma's Eidolons with Spawn Spiderlings, and spawn her spiderlings in their place. But remember that Enigma can do the same to Broodmother's spiderlings with 
Demonic Conversion and Midnight Pulse.
* Without the protection from Black King Bar, Broodmother can cancel Enigma's Black Hole with Bloodthorn and make him more vulnerable to damage. Broodmother can also buy Abyssal Blade to cancel Enigma's Black Hole even through Black King Bar.
* Silken Bola causes Enigma's attacks to miss a lot and renders him more vulnerable to magical damage. And if Broodmother takes 400 AoE Silken Bola, then she will be able to use to cause Enigma's Eidolons to miss their attacks as well. In addition, Enigma does not like to buy items to provide him true strike such as Bloodthorn, Monkey King Bar, 
Witch Blade and it's upgrade Revenant's Brooch.
* If Broodmother is lucky enough to survive being trapped in Black Hole, she will be able to recover her lost health with Insatiable Hunger.
* Aghanim's Scepter gives Broodmother access to Spinner's Snare, which allows her to create invisible lines on her webs from Spin Web that will root Enigma, deal damage over time to Enigma and reveal Enigma if he unwittingly steps on them, disrupting his attempts to initiate with Black Hole, prevent him from using Blink Dagger, while also alerting Broodmother on his attempts to ambush her and her allies.
Additional:
* Broodmother can kill Enigma's Eidolons with Spawn Spiderlings, and spawn her spiderlings in their place. And Enigma can't use 
Demonic Summoning to instantly kill spiderlings at once.
* Without the protection from Black King Bar, Broodmother can cancel Enigma's Black Hole with Bloodthorn and make him more vulnerable to damage. Broodmother can also buy Abyssal Blade to cancel Enigma's Black Hole even through Black King Bar.
* Silken Bola causes Enigma's attacks to miss a lot and renders him more vulnerable to magical damage. And if Broodmother takes 400 AoE Silken Bola, then she will be able to use to cause Enigma's Eidolons to miss their attacks as well.

Broodmother
* Broodmother can kill Invoker easily in the early game with her Spawn Spiderlings and her spiderlings.
* Broodmother is both an Orchid Malevolence and a Nullifier carrier. As she can farm it early, she can kill Invoker easily.
Broodmother

* Even though Medusa can hunt down Spiderlings easily when given enough range, Silken Bola will cause her attacks to miss and get her swarmed in no time.
* Medusa usually does not build a Black King Bar to benefit from 
Mana Shield fully while Broodmother can fit a 
Diffusal Blade to burn away all of Medusa's mana.
Additional:
* Spin Web will allow Broodmother to pick her own fights and sometimes slip away to ambush Medusa.
* Though Medusa's Split Shot and Mystic Snake can help Medusa deal with Broodmother's spiderlings, Broodmother will create too much of them for her to handle, allowing her to outnumber Medusa's targets from Split Shot and shield her team in process.
Broodmother
* Broodmother relies less on abilities and more on right-clicks.
* Spiderlings can overwhelm Silencer, who has mediocre armor and no escape tool.
Nature's Prophet
* Nature's Call can be used to tank 
Omnislash in the early to mid game due to their high health pool combined.
* Sprout can trap Juggernaut, even if he is using 
Blade Fury. Aghanim's Shard upgraded Sprout can also prevent Juggernaut from escaping if he buys Battle Fury.
* Once Nature's prophet reach lv 20 with leash talent on Sprout, he can stop Juggernaut from escaping with Blade Fury and TPing away.
* Nature's Prophet can farm and push much faster than Juggernaut, acquiring map control before he can do much.
Broodmother
* Broodmother can easily clear Wraith King's skeletons with Spawn Spiderlings and summon spiderlings in their place.
* With Diffusal Blade, Broodmother can prevent Wraith King from reincarnating unless Wraith King has his Aghanim's Shard.
Nature's Prophet
* Nature's Prophet's low mobility and health pool allow Phantom Assassin to destroy him in the early game.
* Phantom Strike allows Phantom Assassin to jump in and out of Sprout, provided she has vision.

Broodmother
* Phantom Assassin's single target abilities make her very helpless against swarms of Spiderlings without Battle Fury.
* Because Phantom Assassin is always reliant on critical strikes, Broodmother will usually have enough time to use Spin Web to save herself.
* Silken Bola can cripple Phantom Assassin greatly due to her being 100% reliant on physical attacks.
* Aghanim's Scepter gives Broodmother access to Spinner's Snare, which allows her to create invisible lines on her webs from Spin Web that will root Phantom Assassin, deal damage over time to Phantom Assassin and reveal Phantom Assassin if she unwittingly steps on them, disrupting her attempts to initiate or escape with with 
Phantom Strike while also alerting Broodmother on her attempts to ambush her and her allies.

Dead Shot.

* Broodmother's 
Incapacitating Bite can make Nuerta's miss her attacks from Gunslinger more often until she buys items that require 
Javelin.

Pierce The Veil active as it deals magical damage and has a low cooldown.
* Broodmother can buy Revenant's Brooch to attack Muerta even through Pierce The Veil with Insatiable Hunger.
