Puck
* Jakiro has 3 damage over time spells, 2 of which are from debuffs on Puck (
Dual Breath and 
Liquid Fire) and 1 affecting an entire area (
Macropyre), making it easy for him to disable the Blink Dagger.
* 
Ice Path is also strong against Puck, as he can cast it towards Puck during Phase Shift, who then gets instantly stunned once Phase Shift ends.

* Ice Path is also strong against Puck, as he can cast it towards Puck during Phase Shift, who then gets instantly stunned once Phase Shift ends.
Dawnbreaker
* Heroes with channeling spells are very easy targets for Jakiro's abilities: 
Crystal Maiden, 
Dawnbreaker, 
Enigma, 
Pudge, 
Shadow Fiend, 
Shadow Shaman, 
Warlock.
Puck
* Unless Puck is facing the direction he wants to blink while in Phase Shift, the 
Venomous Gale and 
Poison Nova combo consistently ticks many times over several seconds, making it very difficult to use 
Blink Dagger towards the other direction. Puck's slow turning rate makes this even worse.
Dawnbreaker
* Due to her slow movement speed,heroes with crowd control and slows can shut down Dawnbreaker:
Lion, Crystal Maiden ,
Venomancer etc.
Puck
* 
Illusory Orb is easy to reflect with Spiked Carapace, either stunning Puck and setting up an easy Impale or forcing a premature 
Phase Shift.
* Puck is an intelligence hero that tends to build intelligence items, making it vulnerable to Mana Burn.
* An ill-timed Phase Shift can easily set Puck up to be stunned by Impale.
* Puck's low base armor and below average agility gain mean it is always susceptible to Vendetta.
Additional:
* Nyx Assassin can take advantage of every one of Puck's weaknesses. His entire skill set is very effective in countering Puck.
* Because Illusory Orb is such a slow moving projectile, Nyx Assassin can simply walk into the orb and activate 
Spiked Carapace, stunning Puck and setting up an easy 
Impale. This can be circumvented by using Phase Shift while the orb is traveling, however, that means that Puck cannot use Phase Shift to dodge any other skill nor use it to safely blink away from a fight.
* Puck is an intelligence hero that likes to build intelligence items such as 
Eul's Scepter of Divinity, 
Scythe of Vyse, and 
Dagon. This makes 
Mind Flare that much more deadly against Puck.
* An ill-timed Phase Shift can turn into an easy setup for Impale.
Dawnbreaker
* Spiked Carapace can stop Dawnbreaker's Solar Guardian which will eliminate her global presence and limits her movement around the map.
Additional:
* Spiked Carapace interrupts 
Starbreaker before Dawnbreaker has her Aghanim's Shard, as well as 
Solar Guardian during the initial channel, making her ineffective at joining and dealing damage in teamfights.
* The slow projectile and damage over time effect of 
Celestial Hammer makes it easy to stun Dawnbreaker if she attemps to engage or chase.
Dawnbreaker
* 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.
Puck
* Stone Form's long stun duration may prevent Puck from using escape abilities.
* Visage frequently builds 
Rod of Atos for the root that will make Puck unable to move and use his escape abilities. Alternatively, Visage can also build 
Bloodthorn to prevent Puck from using his escape abilities and make him more vulnerable to damage.
Puck
* Puck cannot use any of its normal means to survive should Night Stalker catch it within Crippling Fear, and goes down quickly.
Additional:
* 
Void is a potent nuke that is devastating to Puck's low health pool.
* 
Crippling Fear silence can prevent Puck from casting spells, leaving it vulnerable.
Puck
* Arc Warden can turn Puck's Phase Shift ability against him by using 
Spark Wraith, ensuring it to hit. To make this worse, Arc Warden can do it twice with his 
Tempest Double.
* 
Flux is also an instant spell (and therefore unavoidable) with a heavy slow and damage over time, which disables Blink Dagger for a certain period of time.
Puck
* Waning Rift's silence is almost completely worthless against Wraith King, due to him having only 1 active ability.
* Wraith King's only active ability, 
Wraithfire Blast, is strong against Puck if it hits, because it applies a damage over time on top of stunning and doing impact damage, disabling Puck for a while, and Blink Dagger for even longer. It is very important to avoid getting hit by this spell when playing against Wraith King.
Dawnbreaker
* 
Nethertoxin disables Dawnbreaker's 
Luminosity. Since she's a melee hero, she needs to close gap to attack and Nethertoxin will be bad for her since she cannot heal.
* 
Viper Strike and 
Poison Attack will severely slow her down and combined with Nethertoxin, it will be her death sentence (unless her Celestial Hammer or Solar Guardian are off cooldown). Besides that, chasing her down will be easy due to the slow.
Puck
* Generally strong against every spellcaster, Puck fully relies on their skill set and is barely a threat when silenced.
* 
Arcane Curse disables Blink Dagger for quite some time, and is also effective against Puck as it tend to use its spells a lot.
* 
Glaives of Wisdom can do a lot of damage against Puck due to Puck's low agility gain and armor.
* 
Last Word can prevent Puck from getting a full combo off, limiting its effectiveness in team fights or ganks.
* 
Global Silence can take Puck out of fights entirely.
Puck
* Puck cannot use spells if affected by Time Dilation, especially Phase Shift for main survivability as it effectively triples its cooldown.
* Chronosphere can end Puck's life quickly, as stun, more than 3 seconds will be a death sentence to Puck.
* If not silenced, Faceless Void can just Time Walk to undo Puck's Burst damage.
Additional:
* Hard lockdowns such as 
Chronosphere can end a Puck's life quickly. A Puck stunned for longer than 3 seconds usually ends up dead.
* As the type of hero that spams spells, 
Time Dilation counters Puck very effectively. Phase Shift is Puck's main ability for survivability, and Time Dilation effectively triples its cooldown.
* If not silenced, 
Time Walk can easily undo the damage dealt by Illusory Orb, Dream Coil and Dagon.
Dawnbreaker
* Time Walk can easily avoid Dawnbreaker's abilities or to escape her gank attempts and backtrack any damage she deals.
* Time Dilation can prevent Dawnbreaker from using her abilities after initiating, and slowing her down severely.
* 
Time Lock combined with his high attack speed can lock Dawnbreaker in place, preventing her escape with Celestial Hammer.
* Chronosphere locks down Dawnbreaker in place right after she uses Solar Guardian.
* On the other hand, if Solar Guardian is cast beforehand from afar, it may discourage Faceless Void from casting Chronosphere in its location
Dawnbreaker
* Solar Guardian can heal allies that trapped inside Chronosphere.
Puck
* Heroes with spell immunity or pseudo-blinks which provide invulnerability: 
Lifestealer, 
Juggernaut, 
Omniknight, Huskar , and 
Tusk have spells which allow them to easily escape Dream Coil.
Dawnbreaker
* Being a strength hero with a high strength gain means 
Feast can give her a hard time,especially later in the game.
* However,Starbreaker's physical damage can control him in the laning phase.
Puck
* Melee heroes that get kited easily have hard times dealing with Puck without any lockdowns, as Puck is one of the most mobile heroes. Heroes like 
Sven, Lifestealer, 
Ursa and 
Alchemist may have problems to get to Puck without proper initiation items. They also lack reliable lockdowns, as their disables are easily avoidable for Puck, or are just a soft disable.
Dawnbreaker
* 
Gust can shut down most of Dawnbreaker's abilities, rendering her useless.
* 
Frost Arrows followed by a high attack speed, makes it hard for Dawnbreaker to escape.
Puck
* 
Riki and 
Disruptor: 
Smoke Screen and 
Static Storm can be thrown wherever Puck used Phase Shift, making Puck an easy target if it doesn't have Blink Dagger or is on cooldown. Puck is also very susceptible to Riki's high attack damage when attacking from the back. Glimpse also prevents Puck from escaping.
Dawnbreaker
* 
Kinetic Field prevents Dawnbreaker from escaping with Celestial Hammer.
* Kinetic Field and Static Storm can pin down Dawnbreaker after she jumps in with Solar Guardian.
* 
Glimpse can force Dawnbreaker out of a fight right after she uses Solar Guardian.
Puck
* 
Puck with Phase Shift
* Heroes that can dodge Glimpse:
* Puck with Phase Shift
* Riki with 
Tricks of the Trade
* 
Phantom Lancer with 
Doppelganger
* Ember Spirit with 
Sleight of Fist and 
Activate Fire Remnant
* 
Chaos Knight with 
Phantasm
* 
Naga Siren with 
Mirror Image
* Tusk with 
Snowball
* Juggernaut with 
Omnislash
* 
Brewmaster with 
Primal Split
* Lifestealer with 
Infest
* 
Phoenix with 
Supernova
Puck
* 
Doom can shut down with all abilities and items from Puck is strong escape. Since Doom muted silence activated duration, Puck Can't move freely although Doom build item 
Aghanim's Scepter.
* Doom will use build item Blink Dagger and 
Silver Edge can important from Doom simply catch Puck.
Puck
* All abilities from Puck potentialy can easily stealing with 
Spell Steal. Rubick's can build Blink Dagger inisiate escaping from Puck.
* With Aghanim's Scepter, Rubick's can easily two stolens abilities from Puck's.
Additional:
* Illusory Orb and 
Waning Rift are all great wave-clear abilities.
* Waning Rift can silence Puck, disabling all her abilities including Phase Shift.
* 
Dream Coil is a powerful teamfight ultimate that leashes enemies and disables their movement.
* As an elusive hero who requires constant repositioning, Puck is greatly countered by her own ultimate as it disables all her mobile abilities and items (especially Blink Dagger), forcing Puck to either stay in the danger zone or latches and stuns for a long time.
* Although Phase Shift does not provide extra damage or lockdown on its own, it does grant Rubick invulnerability, and enables him to use Blink Dagger with full duration similar to Puck's escaping combos.
* Rubick can initiate on Puck relatively fast as 
Telekinesis only has a 0.15 second cast animation.
Puck
* 
Bristleback, 
Centaur Warrunner, 
Spirit Breaker, Pudge, Huskar: These heroes are too tanky for Puck to burst down. Also, all of them have spells which can deal with and shut Puck down reliably.
Puck
* Heroes with spell immunity or pseudo-blinks which provide invulnerability: Lifestealer, Juggernaut, Omniknight, Huskar , and Tusk have spells which allow them to easily escape Dream Coil.
Puck
* Riki and Disruptor: Smoke Screen and Static Storm can be thrown wherever Puck used Phase Shift, making Puck an easy target if it doesn't have Blink Dagger or is on cooldown. Puck is also very susceptible to Riki's high attack damage when attacking from the back. Glimpse also prevents Puck from escaping.
Puck

Puck
* 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,

Dawnbreaker
* Luna can easily cancel channeling spells with 
Lucent Beam and 0.25s Eclipse Lucent Ministun talent for 
Eclipse, she can also buy 
Abyssal Blade in case they decide to buy 
Black King Bar: Enigma's 
Black Hole, Witch Doctor's 
Death Ward, Shadow Shaman's 
Shackles, Lion's 
Mana Drain, 
Bane's 
Fiend's Grip, Pudge's 
Dismember, Crystal Maiden's 
Freezing Field, 
Pugna's 
Life Drain, Dawnbreaker's Solar Guardian, and Naga Siren's 
Reel In from Aghanim's Scepter.
Puck
* None of Puck's abilities have any damage-over-time components, meaning that 
Refraction is a valuable form of defense against Puck's lane harassment.
* 
Psi Blades deals pure damage and spills over instantly. Puck cannot reliably dodge the damage with Phase Shift.
Additional:
* Puck high magical burst is almost completely useless against Refraction. Templar Assassin often buys 
Orchid Malevolence to render Puck useless in teamfights.
Puck
* Heroes that have disposable area-targeted spells can force her to undo her Meld: 
Leshrac, Puck, 
Tiny, 
Jakiro,. An experienced Templar Assassin could try to use Refraction before Meld so she can tank through those damage without getting her Blink disabled.
Puck
* Backline supports (Lion,Crystal Maiden) keep him pinned long enough for a kill.
Dawnbreaker
* Due to her slow movement speed,heroes with crowd control and slows can shut down Dawnbreaker:Lion, Crystal Maiden ,Venomancer etc.
Puck
* Waning Rift silences and damages enemies affected by the ability, diminishing Lion's punishing powers.
* High burst damage potential plus mobility and disable through Illusory Orb, Waning Rift, and Dream Coil allows Puck to effortlessly chase, lock and/or kill Lion, as the Demon Witch lacks proper ways to avoid so.
* Phase Shift allows Puck to dodge 
Earth Spike, 
Finger of Death and breaks Mana Drain's link.
Puck
* Heroes with mobility spells like Queen of Pain, 
Anti-Mage, 
Phantom Assassin, Riki, Puck, and Spirit Breaker that are cancelled by Frostbite can suffer greatly from the presence of Crystal Maiden. It is absolutely critical, however, to have followup from teammates, as all of the above heroes can make quick work of the squishy Crystal Maiden after they are released from her grip.
Dawnbreaker
* Due to her slow movement speed,heroes with crowd control and slows can shut down Dawnbreaker:Lion, Crystal Maiden ,Venomancer etc.
Puck
* Puck has both Waning Rift and Dream Coil to stop Freezing Field's channel regardless of whether or not Crystal Maiden has a Glimmer Cape, as both spells fully affect invisible units.
Puck
* All of Puck's damaging spells deal AoE magic damage, which focuses on Terrorblade's low health pool and ignores his armor.
* Puck's spells are also great at quickly clearing all of Terrorblade's illusions. Even a single Illusory Orb is enough to drop their health very low, allowing creeps, towers or allies to finish them off very quickly. Waning Rift and Illusory Orb together are usually enough to clear his illusions.
* Waning Rift prevents Terrorblade from casting 
Sunder at low health.
* Puck is a common Dagon carrier, making it possible to finish off Terrorblade before he has a chance to Sunder.
Dawnbreaker
* Heroes who have channeling abilities because Terrorblade has no disables to cancel them at all besides 
Terror Wave from Aghanim's Scepter, and he does not like buying disabling items at all: Enigma's Black Hole, Witch Doctor's Death Ward, Shadow Shaman's Shackles, Lion's Mana Drain, Bane's Fiend's Grip, Pudge's Dismember, Crystal Maiden's Freezing Field, Pugna's Life Drain, Dawnbreaker's Solar Guardian, and Naga Siren's Reel In from Aghanim's Scepter.
Puck
* Mass summoning heroes: 
Broodmother, 
Nature's Prophet and Enigma all have summons Puck can clear clear with Illusory Orb and Waning Rift instantly, due to their summons having low health.
Dawnbreaker
* 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.

Puck
* Illusory Orb and Waning Rift are effective nukes against Phantom Lancer's illusions, especially in the early game.
* Dream Coil limits Phantom Rush and Doppelganger's mobility during teamfights.
Dawnbreaker
* Heroes with summoned units don't fare well against Dawnbreaker. (Phantom Lancer ,
Beastmaster ,
Lycan).
Puck
* Heroes that are hard to kill without lockdown: Puck, 
Weaver.
Dawnbreaker
* Heroes with channeling spells because Shadow Fiend has nothing to cancel channeling outside of Requiem of Souls: Bane, Enigma, Pudge, Shadow Shaman, Dawnbreaker, Warlock, Crystal Maiden.
Dawnbreaker
* Solar Guardian can save allies caught inside 
Arena of Blood.
Puck
* Dream Coil leash can stop and stunned moving from 
Windrun.
* Combinated Wanning Rift and build Blink Dagger can easily avoid from 
Focus Fire
Puck
* Puck can initiate on Mirana with Waning Rift to prevent her from going invisible or Leaping.
* A Mirana caught in Dream Coil will stun herself if she tries to Leap away.
* Puck's Burst damage takes advantage of Mirana's below average health.
* Puck can easily dodge Sacred Arrow and Starstorm with Phase Shift.
Additional:
* Mirana's spells are laid out to assassinate enemies. Puck can easily avoid the slow moving 
Sacred Arrow, and also can avoid 
Starstorm with Phase Shift, since the meteors have a delay.
* If Puck casts either Waning Rift or Dream Coil in the area, Mirana cannot 
Leap away.
Puck
* Void Spirit can easily be bursted down by Puck's high magic damage spells in early game.
* Wanning Rift and Dream Coil prevent him from using two of his important mobility abilities: 
Dissimilate and 
Astral Step.
Additional:
* Dream Coil prevents the usage of Void Spirit's escape abilities and limits his damage output in fights almost entirely.
* Killing Puck in the late game becomes difficult when they obtain a Eul's Scepter of Divinity, Blink Dagger, and Phase Shift.
Puck
* Waning Rift silences Anti-Mage, preventing him from blinking away.
* However, Waning Rift can be dispelled by Manta Style.
* Dream Coil stops Anti-Mage from blinking, with Aghanim's Scepter also locks down Anti-Mage for long duration.
Puck
* Sniper has no spells to disable Puck. He lacks a silence to prevent spell casting and a stun to disable, allowing Puck to act instantly against Sniper.
* Sniper's main strategy is to attack his enemies from safe distance. Illusory Orb, combined with Blink Dagger makes it easy for Puck to get to Sniper. Due to his low health, he is also easily nuked down by Puck.
* The status debuff placed by 
Assassinate on its target makes it very easy to avoid it. Puck has 2 (3 when having Blink Dagger, 4 when having Eul's Scepter of Divinity, 5 when having Linken's Sphere) methods to disjoint or dodge the projectile, making it a bad spell for finishing off Puck.
Puck
* All of Puck's abilities are active making Demonic Purge break from Aghanim's Scepter useless.
* Shadow Demon will find a hard time catching a Puck, as he can get away with Illusory Orb or even Waning Rift;
* Puck can dodge Shadow Poison waves and potentially avoid the damage from Demonic Purge with Phase Shift. Furthermore, after Disruption ended, Puck can use Phase Shift to avoid any further danger and can blink away with Blink Dagger.
* Waning Rift can be used to initiate Shadow Demon, prevent him from using any spells.
Puck
* Illusory Orb and Waning Rift provides great mobility, allowing Puck to catch up Pangolier when he is attempting to disengage with his own skills.
* Dream Coil's leash act almost as a literal silence to Pangolier, disabling half of his arsenal and also piercing his spell immunity during Rolling Thunder. Also Dream Coil's very long duration will make Pangolier wasting his entire ultimate rolling in place.
Additional:
* Dream Coil and Wanning Rift prevent Pangolier from using 
Swashbuckle and 
Rolling Thunder. If Puck has Aghanim's Scepter, Dream coil will stop Rolling Thunder from moving entirely.
Puck
* All of Puck's abilities are area-targeted, and will hit Dark Willow when she uses Shadow Realm.
* Illusory Orb allows Puck to bypass Bramble Maze, close the gap and silence Dark Willow with Waning Rift.
* Phase Shift helps Puck dodge attacks charged by Shadow Realm, and is easily timed against Terrorize's long cast time.
Puck
* Phase Shift can easily disjoint Phantom Embrace and waste half of the Soulbind's duration.
* Puck is very mobile hero who can jump backsides and burst Grimstroke before he can cast anything.
Puck
* Although Phoenix has many ways to disable a Blink Dagger, the high cooldown of all of its spells makes them not as reliable for this. Also, its spells cost a lot of health to use, making it easy to get nuked down.
* Waning Rift prevents Phoenix from using Supernova to refresh itself, giving Puck's team time to finish it off, or allow Puck to burst Phoenix down.
* Dream Coil prevents Phoenix from using 
Icarus Dive without consequences. Waning Rift and Dream Coil are also able to cancel 
Sun Ray, which is its main source of damage in the late game.
Dawnbreaker
* Solar Guardian can save allies who are being dueled and will interrupt her 
Duel initiation.
Dawnbreaker
* Spectre has no innate disables or silence to stop any of Dawnbreaker's abilities
* Solar Guardian allows Dawnbreaker to quickly stand next to one of her allies, denying Spectre any of 
Desolate's bonus.
* Luminosity outheals the damage dealt by 
Dispersion.

* Solar Guardian allows Dawnbreaker to quickly stand next to one of her allies, denying Spectre any of Desolate's bonus
* Luminosity outheals the damage dealt by Dispersion
Puck
* Phase Shift allows Puck to dodge all of Earthshaker's abilites.
* Waning Rift disables Earthshaker's stuns, leaving him and his team vulnerable.
* Dream Coil takes a stun from Earthshaker if he tries to escape from Blink Dagger or Enchant Totem upgraded from Aghanim's Scepter.
Dawnbreaker
* Dawnbreaker can easily clear waves of Naga Siren's illusions from Mirror Image with Starbreaker, Celestial Hammer and Solar Guardian.
* 
Aghanim's Shard upgraded Starbreaker will allow Dawnbreaker to dispel 
Ensnare and freely attack Naga Siren during 
Song of the Siren when combined with Black King Bar, a common item on Dawnbreaker.
* Solar Guardian allows Dawnbreaker to counter any attempts of Naga Siren and rejoin her team with Solar Guardian when they require it. Aghanim's Scepter upgraded Solar Guardian can also give Dawnbreaker's allies evasion while Dawnbreaker is airborne for it's duration, as Naga Siren mainly relies on direct attacks in order to deal damage.
Additional:
* Dawnbreaker can easily clear waves of Naga Siren's illusions from Mirror Image with Starbreaker, Celestial Hammer and Solar Guardian.

Aghanim's Scepter upgraded Solar Guardian can also give Dawnbreaker's allies evasion while Dawnbreaker is airborne for it's duration, as Naga Siren mainly relies on direct attacks in order to deal damage.
Puck
* Puck relies mainly on magical burst damage, which Phantom Assassin is most vulnerable against.
* Phase Shift and Illusory Orb disjoint Stifling Dagger, also allowing to kite Phantom Assassin.
* Dream Coil will stun Phantom Assassin if she uses 
Phantom Strike to blink away.
Puck
* Puck's area of effect nukes in the form of Illusory Orb and Waning Rift clears Phantasm illusions from the early game to mid game.
* Phase Shift can be used to disjoint Chaos Bolt.
Dawnbreaker
* Starbreaker can deal huge damage to Chen and clear waves of his creeps.
* Celestial Hammer can deal damage over time to both, Chen and his creeps, which may force Chen to use 
Hand of God prematurely.
* Solar Guardian allows Dawnbreaker to counter Chen's pushing attempts and to rejoin her team with Solar Guardian when they require it. Aghanim's Scepter upgraded Solar Guardian can also give Dawnbreaker's allies evasion while Dawnbreaker is airborne for it's duration, wasting much of 
Penitence's power.
