Counters these heroes:

Shadow Fiend

* Luna Lucent Beam Lucent Beam and Luna Eclipse Eclipse with ministun talent can be used to cancel Requiem of Souls if Shadow Fiend does not have Black King Bar.

* Luna Moon Glaives Moon Glaives and Luna Lunar Blessing Lunar Blessing allow Luna to outfarm Shadow Fiend in lane and the high physical damage output they provide her can also help her deal with Shadow Fiend even when he buys Black King Bar in late game.
* A well timed Luna Eclipse Eclipse will burst and kill Shadow Fiend before he even either initiates or gets a chance to retaliate, especially when equipped with Aghanim Aghanim's Scepter and Ethereal Blade, this could become even worse for Shadow Fiend if he does not have Black King Bar. But bear in mind however, that smart and skilled Shadow Fiend can buy Wind Waker to counter this issue.
* Even though Shadow Fiend 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.
