Puck
* Phase Shift is not an advantage against Arc Warden at all because 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.
Spirit Breaker
* Heroes that can slow Charge of Darkness by a huge amount: 
Venomancer, 
Viper, 
Dazzle, 
Arc Warden, 
Lion.
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.
Spirit Breaker
* Heroes with summons and illusions as Spirit Breaker has no strong AoE capabilities to deal with them: 
Chaos Knight, 
Phantom Lancer, 
Terrorblade, 
Naga Siren, 
Broodmother, 
Warlock, 
Visage, 
Nature's Prophet, 
Shadow Shaman, 
Lycan.
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.
* Even if Puck succeeds to burst down Wraith King, 
Reincarnation will ensure that Wraith King can fight back against him while leaving Puck exhausted and nearly unable to defend himself against Wraith King. And to make things worse, Puck is not a common 
Diffusal Blade nor 
Disperser wielder to counter this problem at all.
Spirit Breaker
* Durable heroes: 
Axe, 
Dawnbreaker, 
Bristleback, 
Tidehunter, 
Wraith King, 
Primal Beast, 
Underlord.
Puck
* Unless Puck is facing the direction he wants to blink while in Phase Shift, the 
Venomous Gale and 
Noxious Plague 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.
* Venomancer can use 
Plague Wards to reveal Puck's position before he even gets a chance to initiate.
Spirit Breaker
* Heroes that can slow Charge of Darkness by a huge amount: Venomancer, Viper, Dazzle, Arc Warden, Lion.
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.
Spirit Breaker
* Heroes that have a weak laning stage: 
Spectre, 
Nyx Assassin, 
Clockwerk, 
Spirit Breaker, 
Omniknight, 
Pudge.
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.
Spirit Breaker
* In the early game, Omniknight can look like an easy target for Spirit Breaker, but with 
Purification and 
Hammer of Purity, what could be an opportunity could quickly turn into disaster.
* 
Repel can be used to counter Charge of Darkness by minimizing the damage and lowering the stun duration with status resistance.
* Spirit Breaker's Greater Bash from all sources (Charge of Darkness or normal attacks) will deal no damage at all if Omniknight and his allies are protected with presence.
* Due to this, Spirit Breaker's damage will always be lower when targeting Omniknight.
Puck
* Viper wins on the central line of Puck, because he has a huge damage from the 
Poison Attack ability, which Puck is not able to constantly avoid using 
Phase Shift, which will give Viper an advantage in the possible damage inflicted on each other
* Puck takes more damage than it does due to the passive 
Corrosive Skin ability of the Viper, which makes it unprofitable for the Puck to fight against the Viper at an early stage of the game, when the Puck has a very small pool of health.

Spirit Breaker
* Heroes that can slow Charge of Darkness by a huge amount: Venomancer, Viper, Dazzle, Arc Warden, Lion.
Puck
* Heroes who are strong against mobile heroes: 
Disruptor, 
Bloodseeker, 
Kunkka, 
Keeper of the Light.
Spirit Breaker
* Heroes that punish mobile heroes: Bloodseeker, Keeper of the Light, Kunkka, Disruptor.
Puck
* Axe, Bristleback, 
Centaur Warrunner, Spirit Breaker, Pudge, Huskar, Wraith King: 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.
Spirit Breaker
* Heroes who can continue dealing damage even while being stunned: 
Luna, 
Razor, Axe, Bristleback, 
Leshrac, 
Death Prophet.
Puck
* Lone Druid has a huge reserve of health on the 
Summon Spirit Bear and a quick regeneration of his health with the help of 
Spirit Link, which makes the Puck's magical abilities useless, since they cannot break through such a large pool of health
* The ability of the Summon Spirit Bear and in the 
True Form of the Lone Druid 
Entangling Claws allows you to catch Puck when he released the 
Illusory Orb, since Puck will not be able to apply 
Ethereal Jaunt during the root action

Spirit Breaker
* 
Nature's Grasp severely slows down Spirit Breaker, reducing effects of Charge of Darkness and Greater Bash.
* 
Living Armor can mitigate a large portion of Spirit Breaker's damage since his attacks are slow.
* Treant Protector can also counter-initiate against Spirit Breaker with 
Leech Seed, 
Overgrowth and with his root from {I|Aghanim's Shard
* 
Aghanim's Scepter gives Treant Protector access to 
Eyes In The Forest ability, which allows him to turn trees into wards that provide vision, allowing him to keep his allies warned about Spirit Breaker's attempts to gank them. Eyes In The Forest will also trigger Overgrowth if Spirit Breaker is in range of the tree affected by it.
Additional:
* Spirit Breaker's slow attacks cannot harm a hero shielded by Living Armor.
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.
Additional:

Liquid Frost from 
Aghanim's Shard from 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.
Spirit Breaker
* 
Astral Imprisonment can be used to protect allies by imprisoning either them or Spirit Breaker.
* 
Arcane Orb will heavily drain Spirit Breaker's maximum mana, rendering him almost useless and unable to cast spells. Spirit Breakeranity's Eclipse|Outworld Destroyer
* Even if Spirit Breaker survives 
Sanity's Eclipse, mana allergy applied by the Sanity's Eclipse will discourage Spirit Breaker from using his abilities as it will cause him to lose health and heal Outworld Destroyer.
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.
Spirit Breaker
* If Luna chooses to use 
Eclipse in anticipation right before Spirit Breaker gets to her with Charge of Darkness, she will be able to kill Spirit Breaker before he will be able to kill her as Spirit Breaker's attack speed is rather low.
* Meanwhile, when Spirit Breaker is focusing on any of Luna's allies with Charge of Darkness, Aghanim's Scepter upgraded Eclipse can be used to counter-initate against Spirit Breaker.
* Aghanim's Shard upgraded 
Moon Glaives allows Luna to reduce damage from Greater Bash and Nether Strike inflicts on her, and damage Spirit Breaker whenever he is close to her, even while he is invisible.
* 
Lucent Beam can be used to cancel Spirit Breaker's Charge of Darkness under the condition that Luna is able to cast it on time. Lucent Beam can also be used to cancel Nether Strike. But bear in mind, however, that Spirit Breaker can counter this with 
Planar Pocket from Aghanim's Shard which can be used to reflect Lucent Beam back at Luna.
* If Luna buys 
Linken's Sphere, it will become nearly impossible for Spirit Breaker to reach Luna unless some of Spirit Breaker's allies can pop it and put it on a cooldown.
* Even though Spirit Breaker can evade all of Luna's abilities with 
Shadow Blade, smart Luna will always buy 
Dust of Appearance to provide vision on Spirit Breaker to her and her team. Luna can also buy 
Gleipnir to counter Spirit Breaker's Charge of Darkness and Shadow Blade combo.
Additional:
* If Luna chooses to use Eclipse in anticipation right before Spirit Breaker gets to her with Charge of Darkness, she will be able to kill Spirit Breaker before he will be able to kill her as Spirit Breaker's attack speed is rather low.

Spirit Breaker
* Due to Spirit Breaker's low attack speed, 
Tombstone is problematic for Spirit Breaker as the zombies summoned from Tombstone apply a stacking movement speed slow, which can significantly reduce Greater Bash's damage.
* 
Soul Rip and 
Decay allows Undying and his allies to survive and recover from any incoming ganks by Spirit Breaker.
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 be used to quickly take down Puck. Whenever Puck is disabled for longer than 3 seconds, he will usually end 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, Faceless Void can use 
Time Walk can easily undo the damage dealt by Illusory Orb, Dream Coil and Dagon.
Puck
* Generally strong against lots of spellcaster-themed heroes, Puck fully relies on his skill set and cannot do almost anything 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.
Spirit Breaker
* Solar Guardian can save an ally getting targeted and focused by Spirit Breaker.
Spirit Breaker
* Clockwerk can use Power Cogs to repel Spirit Breaker when he charges in with 
Charge of Darkness.
* Spirit Breaker's slow 0.6 second attack animation attacks do little damage against Clockwerk. It can also constantly be interrupted by Battery Assault.
* 
Nether Strike's 1.2 second charge time gives Clockwerk plenty of time to activate 
Blade Mail and for Battery Assault to cancel it.
Additional:
* 
Battery Assault will continuously prevent Spirit Breaker from using Nether Strike, Charge of Darkness and even right clicking because of his slow base attack speed.
Spirit Breaker
* 
Pit of Malice can be cast in the path of Spirit Breaker's Charge of Darkness to cancel it.
* 
Fiend's Gate provides a way to escape from a gank for Underlord and his teammates. Likewise, Fiend's Gate can be used to ambush Spirit Breaker who has little to no ways of intercepting Underlod and his teammates when they use it to move around the map.
Spirit Breaker
* If Medusa activates 
Stone Gaze before Spirit Breaker reaches her with Charge of Darkness, the charge will inevitably fail.
* Medusa has three ways to counter Spirit Breaker's Charge of Darkness: Stone Gaze can disable Spirit Breaker's Charge of Darkness if he faces Medusa directly. Aghanim's Scepter upgraded 
Mystic Snake can disable Spirit Breaker and cancel his Charge of Darkness if it hits him. And 
Cold Blooded provided by Aghanim's Shard that can cast a single-targeted Mystic Snake at Spirit Breaker if he uses Charge of Darkness on her.
* 
Mana Shield and overall tankiness allows Medusa to easily survive Spirit Breaker's initiation. And to make things worse, Spirit Breaker is not a common Diffusal Blade nor Disperser wielder to counter this problem at all.
* Overall, any attempt for Spirit Breaker to gank and kill Medusa will hurt him more than the other way around.
Spirit Breaker
* Nether Strike can't remove Static Link and reduces Spirit Breaker's physical damage output.
* Eye of the Storm melts Spirit Breaker's armor, and makes him much less tanky.
Additional:
* 
Plasma Field can slow Spirit Breaker and reduce damage from Greater Bash.
* 
Static Link drains damage bonus from Greater Bash, and it cannot be removed by Nether Strike.
* 
Storm Surge will proc on Spirit Breaker every time he attacks Razor or if he uses Charge of Darkness on Razor, damaging him and alerting Razor to Spirit Breaker's incoming ganks, no matter how far Spirit Breaker is from Razor.
* 
Eye of the Storm can rapidly reduce Spirit Breaker's armor, making him much less durable, especially in teamfights.
Spirit Breaker
* Spirit Breaker's slow attack speed and moderate damage do very little to harm Dragon Knight, even if ganked with Charge of Darkness.
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
* 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,

Phantom Assassin, 
Anti-Mage, Faceless Void, 
Riki, 
Slark, Spirit Breaker.
Puck
* Any Hero with high mobility will be neutralized by dream coil: Queen of Pain, 
Storm Spirit, 
Ember Spirit, Lycan, Bloodseeker, Anti-Mage, 
Timbersaw.

Puck
* Enigma can be a perfect counter-initiator with his ultimate. A perfectly timed Black Hole will turn the tide of any initiation, especially from heroes like; Spirit Breaker, 
Legion Commander, Axe, Puck, and 
Slardar.

* Enigma can be a perfect counter-initiator with his ultimate. A perfectly timed Black Hole will turn the tide of any initiation, especially from heroes like; Spirit Breaker, Legion Commander, Axe, Puck, and Slardar.
Additional:
* 
Malefice prevents Spirit Breaker from using his spells for the duration.
* Eidolons from 
Demonic Summoning have high magic resistance, receiving little damage from Charge of Darkness and Greater Bash.
* 
Midnight Pulse can deal big damage to Spirit Breaker, as it deals damage based on enemy hero's max health.
* 
Black Hole makes it very dangerous for Spirit Breaker to reach Enigma with Charge of Darkness unless if he has Nether Strike available to use.
Puck
* 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.
Spirit Breaker
* Durable heroes: Axe, Dawnbreaker, Bristleback, Tidehunter, Wraith King, Primal Beast, Underlord.
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.
Spirit Breaker
* Can easily interrupt and disable Spirit Breaker with hex if being charged.
Spirit Breaker
* Heroes that are squishy by nature are an easy target for Spirit Breaker: 
Sniper, 
Drow Ranger, Shadow Shaman
Spirit Breaker
* 
Morph allows Morphling to copy abilities of Spirit Breaker and combine them with 
Waveform to turn things around. Aghanim's Scepter upgraded Morph also allows Morphling to create a strong illusion of Spirit Breaker that can cast all of his basic abilities. This allows Morphling to give Spirit Breaker a taste of his own medicine.
* Spirit Breaker's low attack speed and lack of burst damage makes it unlikely for him to win against Morphling when he has 
Attribute Shift (Strength Gain) toggled on.
Puck
* Heroes with silencing abilities that are not blocked by Linken's Sphere, like Puck's 
Waning Rift, Death Prophet's 
Silence or 
Silencer's Global Silence.
Spirit Breaker
* 
Searing Chains can stop Charge of Darkness if timed correctly.
* Activate Fire Remnant can be used to escape an approaching Spirit Breaker, or lead Spirit Breaker into a bad situation.
* 
Fire Remnant and Sleight of Fist allows Ember Spirit to dodge Charge of Darkness if timed correctly.
Puck
* Any Hero with high mobility will be neutralized by dream coil: Queen of Pain, Storm Spirit, Ember Spirit, Lycan, Bloodseeker, Anti-Mage, Timbersaw.
Spirit Breaker
* Spirit Breaker won’t do much harm to Enchantress because of Untouchable and Nature's Attendants. Unless Enchantress is low on HP, Spirit Breaker won’t be able to catch her with mere spells.
Spirit Breaker
* Heroes with nukes that can jump her: Clockwerk, 
Snapfire, Spirit Breaker, 
Techies
Puck
* Heroes with blink or movement abilities, which are disabled by Pounce's leash: Anti-Mage, 
Earth Spirit, Faceless Void, Magnus, 
Mirana, 
Monkey King, 
Morphling, 
Pangolier, Phantom Assassin, Phoenix, Puck, Queen of Pain, Riki, 
Sand King, Spirit Breaker, Timbersaw, Tusk.

Puck
* Illusory Orb and Phase Shift allows Puck to avoid most ganking attempts.
* Waning Rift and 
Dream Coil makes it very hard for Slark to escape bad situations.
* Puck's abilities used together also deals significant magical nuke damage, none of which are targeted and thus cannot be avoided by Shadow Dance.
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.

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.
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
* Backline supports (Lion,
Crystal Maiden) can keep Puck pinned long enough for a kill.
Spirit Breaker
* 
Mana Drain has an fair long range and low cooldown. It can easily deplete most heroes of their entire mana pools, especially those with smaller mana pools such as 
Tiny or Spirit Breaker.
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
* 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.
Spirit Breaker
* Charge of Darkness can be used to chase down Pangolier if he escapes with Swashbuckle or Rolling Thunder.
* Nether Strike ignores Rolling Thunder's spell immunity, and will still hit Pangolier if he rolls or dashes away.
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.
Spirit Breaker
* Spirit Breaker can charge towards Sniper from anywhere on the map with Charge of Darkness.
* 
Greater Bash deals magical damage, which can prove dangerous to Sniper and his low health.
* Both previous abilities combined with Nether Strike ensures that Spirit Breaker can easily solo kill Sniper.
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.
Spirit Breaker
* Anti-Mage usually relies on 
Blink to escape, but with vision from Charge of Darkness it is easier to catch him.
* Spirit Breaker could single-handedly lock Anti-Mage down for 4 seconds (or even more with lucky bashes), allowing his teammates to follow up.
* As Anti-Mage is an elusive hero who likes to farm alone, Spirit Breaker could choose to charge whenever Anti-Mage is in sight.
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.
Spirit Breaker
* Heroes that rely on escapes to stay alive can be caught and locked down for a long time: Queen of Pain, Phantom Assassin
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.
Spirit Breaker
* Heroes that rely on invisibility can be tracked with Charge of Darkness opening them to team attacks: 
Bounty Hunter, Mirana, Riki
Puck
* Dream Coil leash can stop and stunned moving from 
Windrun.
* Combinated Wanning Rift and build Blink Dagger can easily avoid from 
Focus Fire
Spirit Breaker
* Windranger's has bad against Hero heavily strong escape out of reach with windrun: Spirit Breaker, Lycan, Storm Spirit, Earth Spirit
Puck
* Heroes that are hard to kill without lockdown: Puck, 
Weaver.
Spirit Breaker
* Charge of Darkness allows Spirit Breaker to gank Shadow Fiend in the early game, preventing him from getting Necromastery stacks.
* Nether Strike and Charge of Darkness can be used to prevent Shadow Fiend from casting Requiem of Souls.
Puck
* 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.
Spirit Breaker
* Tinker relies on his high mobility from 
Boots of Travel and Blink Dagger to survive. Those items don't help him if Spirit Breaker manages to cast Charge of Darkness on him.
* Spirit Breaker can easily cancel 
Rearm and Boots of Travel.
Puck
* Heroes with long range abilities are also able to touch Zeus, such as Clockwerk, Kunkka, Puck, 
Skywrath Mage, Spirit Breaker, Tusk and others.
Spirit Breaker
* Heroes with long range abilities are also able to touch Zeus, such as Clockwerk, Kunkka, Puck, Skywrath Mage, Spirit Breaker, Tusk and others.
Spirit Breaker
* Heroes with summons and illusions as Spirit Breaker has no strong AoE capabilities to deal with them: Chaos Knight, Phantom Lancer, Terrorblade, Naga Siren, Broodmother, Warlock, Visage, Nature's Prophet, Shadow Shaman, Lycan.
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.
Spirit Breaker
* Unlike with other heroes who can summon illusions of themselves, Terrorblade's illusions from 
Conjure Image have different colors than other illusions which can be seen even by enemy team, which can also make Terrorblade weak even against heroes he naturally counters: 
Bane, Lifestealer, Spectre, Chaos Knight, Spirit Breaker, Sniper. Terrorblade's only solution to counter this problem is to get 
Manta Style as quickly as possible.

Nether Blast and the Pugna 
Life Drain with his Phase Shift, which is why he can easily avoid his strong magic damage
* The Puck's silence from the Waning Rift ability allows her team to easily cope with the Pugna, which cannot be said about the Pugna, because with the Puck it will be easy to avoid such an attack from the 
Decrepify
* The Puck's combo: Waning Rift + Illusory Orb + Dream Coil doesn't have a huge amount of damage to feel the damage of the Pugna from 
Nether Ward, however, it may be quite enough to kill the Pugna solo at an early stage of the game with 
Witch Blade

* When Spirit Breaker charges onto Clinkz, he can easily use Dust of Appearance to guarantee a reveal on him while stunned.
* All three of Spirit Breaker's spells help him and his team quickly close the gap to Clinkz even at the edge of his attack range or when running away with Skeleton Walk.
* Spirit Breaker's high strength and above average armor makes him able to endure Clinkz's onslaught, meanwhile Clinkz will be heavily threatened if Spirit Breaker procs a Greater Bash.
Additional:
* Once caught with dust, Clinkz could be locked down for a long time by Spirit Breaker and has nowhere to escape.
* Charge of Darkness provides shared vision over its target, showing Clinkz even when he is in 
Skeleton Walk.
Spirit Breaker
* Charge of Darkness can be used to escape or counter-initiate against a Relocate gank.

Spirit Breaker
* Warlock is a very strong hero when positioned correctly, and his long cast range helps him with this. However, some Heroes might disrupt or sneakily pass through his allies and deal with him, preventing him from doing his job. Such heroes include Chaos Knight, Spirit Breaker, Riki, and more.

Shadow Demon, Outworld Destroyer, Omniknight, Dawnbreaker.
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.
Spirit Breaker
* Heroes that usually build Linken's Sphere as a core or situational item: Weaver, Medusa, Morphling, Queen of Pain, Storm Spirit, Luna.

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.
Spirit Breaker
* Because Templar Assassin does not have escape potential in lane, any support hero with roaming potential and a Dust of Appearance can be great at shutting her down early game: Earth Spirit, Spirit Breaker, Tusk, Bounty Hunter, Riki, Warlock.
Spirit Breaker
* 
Earthbind's root prevents/interrupts Charge of Darkness.
* As a single-target focused hero without much damage output, Spirit Breaker is ineffective in general against Meepo.

* Shadow Realm and Bedlam can be activated when Dark Willow sees Charge of Darkness coming, preventing Spirit Breaker from using Nether Strike after the initial stun.
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.
Spirit Breaker
* Heroes who can continue dealing damage even while being stunned: Luna, Razor, Axe, Bristleback, Leshrac, Death Prophet.
Puck

Geomagnetic Grip with its AOE-silence, which is why it can help the team kill him
* Puck can't throw off the effect of 
Magnetize any of his abilities, which is why he will constantly receive damage if Earth Spirit extends this ability with his 
Stone Remnant
Additional:

Puck
* Once you farm up an Orchid Malevolence or a Scythe of Vyse, you're suddenly a lot more fearsome to elusive heroes like Storm Spirit or even that pesky Puck.
Spirit Breaker
* Heroes that usually build Linken's Sphere as a core or situational item: Weaver, Medusa, Morphling, Queen of Pain, Storm Spirit, Luna.
Puck
* Any Hero with high mobility will be neutralized by dream coil: Queen of Pain, Storm Spirit, Ember Spirit, Lycan, Bloodseeker, Anti-Mage, Timbersaw.
Additional:
* Puck will make a game of dodging as many Shadow Strikes as he can with Phase Shift. If he's a good player, he will also dodge Sonic Wave. If he's a great player, he will also dodge Scream of Pain. All through a single spell.
* Puck also has a silence to stop her blink with Waning Rift.

Spirit Breaker
* Ice Wall can slow down Charge of Darkness in its tracks at max level, allowing counterplays such as Cold Snap to end the charge, bursting down with Tornado, Meteor, and right clicks, or even teleporting back to spawn to drag Spirit Breaker into the fountain.
* Cold Snap (if timed right) and Invoker's other disables like Tornado can interrupt Charge of Darkness, especially since Charge is telegraphed by the symbol appearing over head.
Additional:
* 
Cold Snap allows Invoker to interrupt Charge of Darkness and Nether Strike.
* 
Tornado's long range can be used to cancel Charge of Darkness.
* 
Deafening Blast prevents Spirit Breaker from right clicking and thus proccing his Greater Bash.

* Puck dodges Invoker's magic attacks with his abilities: Illusory Orb, Phase Shift in a fight, preventing Invoker from doing damage
Spirit Breaker
* Due to Spirit Breaker's low attack speed, Supernova is problematic for Spirit Breaker to take down, and even more so with 
Fire Spirits debuff applied.
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.
Spirit Breaker
* Heroes that can cancel Charge of Darkness: 
Ogre Magi, 
Earthshaker, Lion, 
Rubick, Luna.

* Fissure interrupts Spirit Breaker during Charge of Darkness.
Puck
* Phase Shift allows Puck to dodge all of Earthshaker's abilites.
* Waning Rift disables Earthshaker's stuns, leaving him and his team vulnerable.

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
* 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.
Spirit Breaker
* Heroes with summons and illusions as Spirit Breaker has no strong AoE capabilities to deal with them: Chaos Knight, Phantom Lancer, Terrorblade, Naga Siren, Broodmother, Warlock, Visage, Nature's Prophet, Shadow Shaman, Lycan.
Spirit Breaker
* Heroes with long-lasting, undispellable debuffs will pinpoint the true Naga Siren: Spirit Breaker, Bloodseeker, Witch Doctor.
Puck
* A Lycan with 
Shapeshift can always run down Puck for a very quick kill due to its low armor. It is important to abuse as many cliffs and trees as possible to escape from a Lycan.
Spirit Breaker
* Heroes with summons and illusions as Spirit Breaker has no strong AoE capabilities to deal with them: Chaos Knight, Phantom Lancer, Terrorblade, Naga Siren, Broodmother, Warlock, Visage, Nature's Prophet, Shadow Shaman, Lycan.

* 
Howl can dispell with Bulldoze.
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.
Spirit Breaker
* Charge of Darkness provides shared vision over its target, keeping track of heroes who rely on invisibility, mobility, or illusions: Riki, Broodmother, Phantom Lancer
Puck
* Axe, Bristleback, Centaur Warrunner, Spirit Breaker, Pudge, Huskar, Wraith King: 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.
Spirit Breaker
* Spirit Breaker's stuns pierce spell immunity, making him a good choice against heroes that heavily rely on 
Black King Bar; Huskar
Puck
* All abilities from Puck potentialy can easily stealing with
Spell Steal. Rubick's can build 
Blink Dagger inisiate escaping from Puck.
Aghanim's Scepter, Rubick's can easily two stolens abilities from Puck's.
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. 
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.
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.
Puck relatively fast as 
Telekinesis only has a 0.15 second cast animation.
* With
Additional:
*
*
*
* As an elusive hero who requires constant repositioning,
* Although
* Rubick can initiate on
Spirit Breaker
* Rubick can cancel Spirit Breaker's Charge of Darkness with
Telekinesis under the condition that Rubick is able to cast it on time. And considering Rubick commonly buys 
Eul's Scepter of Divinity that can also cancel Charge of Darkness, Spirit Breaker will have a hard time charging Rubick or his allies until Spirit Breaker buys 
Shadow Blade. 
Telekinesis can also be used to cancel Nether Strike and 
Aghanim's Shard upgraded 
Telekinesis also allows Rubick to save his allies from Spirit Breaker.
Fade Bolt weakens Spirit Breaker's damage output, reducing damage of Greater Bash.
*
* If Rubick succeeds to steal Charge of Darkness, he will be able to reduce much of Spirit Breaker's global presence. Rubick can also steal Nether Strike to further disable Spirit Breaker once he disables him with stolen Charge of Darkness. But bear in mind, however, that a skilled Spirit Breaker can use Bulldoze to prevent all that.
