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.
Brewmaster
* 
Hex's instant cast time will force Brewmaster into the awkward situation of needing some form of spell immunity or block to prevent being immediately hex upon blinking in, or wait until Lion has used all his crowd control before entering a fight. His direct magic burst also makes Brewmaster's Drunken Brawler worthless versus Lion.
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 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 furtherdisable 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.

Tidehunter, 
Brewmaster, 
Death Prophet, etc.

Spirit Breaker
* Heroes that are squishy by nature are an easy target for Spirit Breaker: 
Sniper, 
Drow Ranger, 
Shadow Shaman
Spirit Breaker
* 
Living Armor can mitigate a large portion of Spirit Breaker's damage since his attacks are slow.
* Treant Protector can also counter initiate Spirit Breaker with 
Leech Seed and his bash from 
Nature's Guise before he manages to escape.
Additional:
* Spirit Breaker's slow attacks cannot harm a hero shielded by Living Armor.
Spirit Breaker
* 
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.
Additional:
* 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.

Brewmaster
* 
Ancient Seal's instant cast time will often silence Brewmaster before he can do anything.
* Brewmaster also has no defense against Skywrath Mage's massive magical damage.
Brewmaster
* 
Exorcism kills Primal Split's units very quickly.
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.
* 
Icarus Dive grants Phoenix capability to quickly escape to safety.
Spirit Breaker
* Bramble Maze stops Charge of Darkness in its tracks. Its very long duration means it can be used as an obstacle to block off an incoming Spirit Break during teamfights.
* 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.
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

* 
Eye of the Storm melts Spirit Breaker's armor, and makes him much less tanky.
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 long attack animation.
* Charge of Darkness can be cancelled by a correctly timed 
Hookshot.
* Should Clockwerk or his allies be targeted by Charge of Darkness, he can stop it by casting 
Power Cogs in Spirit Breaker's path or around the target.
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 her allies with Charge of Darkness, 
Aghanim's Scepter upgraded Eclipse can be used to counter-initate against Spirit Breaker.
* 
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.
* 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.
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.

* 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.
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.
Spirit Breaker

Stone Gaze, the charge will inevitably fail.
* 
Mana Shield and overall tankiness allows Medusa to easily survive Spirit Breaker's initiation.
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.

* Apart from the slow moving 
Hurl Boulder, which can be disjointed, he has no control to catch Weaver.
Spirit Breaker

Bulldoze can easily catch Shukuchi from Weaver. Since Spirit Breaker build Aghanim's Scepter, Charge of Darkness is very fast able to reach catch Weaver trying it.

* 
Shukuchi vision can easily target Charge of Darkness before Weaver purchase Linken's Sphere.

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. Consider upgrading Nether Strike with Aghanim's Scepter to spam AoE stuns against Meepo clones.

Dark Willow, Spirit Breaker, 
Slardar, 
Invoker, and Tidehunter.
Spirit Breaker

Snapfire, Spirit Breaker, 
Techies
Spirit Breaker
* Vision from Charge of Darkness will easier to catch Lycan

* Lycan's team often tries to push towers as a group, and Brewmaster excels at winning teamfights while trying to defend a tower.

Bounty Hunter, Riki, 
Warlock.
Brewmaster
* The three Primal Split brewlings all attacking Templar Assassin at once will remove her 
Refraction quickly, especially with Fire's Permanent Immolation.

Windranger, Bounty Hunter, Spirit Breaker,

* Brewmaster can easily run Ancient Apparition down with the slow from 
Thunder Clap and 
Cinder Brew.
Spirit Breaker
* Possibly Clinkz's worst enemy. He has many tools to utterly destroy Clinkz.
* Charge of Darkness can be used on Clinkz if Spirit Breaker's team spots him anywhere. This charge will track his location through Skeleton Walk's invisibility and movement speed bonuses.
* 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:

* Charge of Darkness provides shared vision over its target, showing Clinkz even when he is in 
Skeleton Walk.
Brewmaster
* Heroes that excel at grouping up with their team very early will be able to take advantage of a Clinkz that tries to pick off heroes that are alone: Brewmaster, Dazzle, Tidehunter.
Spirit Breaker
* Spirit Breaker's stuns pierce spell immunity, making him a good choice against heroes that heavily rely on 
Black King Bar; 
Huskar
Brewmaster
* Brewmaster can use Cyclone to disable Huskar's healer for much longer than most other heroes can, to make Huskar vulnerable.
* Huskar has no way to stop Brewmaster from using Primal Split by himself, but can cut a good amount of his high health away if Huskar's team wants to burst Brewmaster down during a different disable.
Spirit Breaker
* Spirit Breaker can chase Nature's Prophet from anywhere on the map with Charge of Darkness, making it hard for Nature's Prophet to split-push.
* Charge of Darkness and Nether Strike gives vision of Nature's Prophet when he tries to Sprout himself and teleport away.
Additional:
* Charge of Darkness allows Spirit Breaker to catch Nature's Prophet out when he tries to split push.
* Nature's Prophet can't hide in his 
Sprout against Spirit Breaker, as his Charge of Darkness provides vision on its target.

* Nether Strike ignores Rolling Thunder's spell immunity, and will still hit Pangolier if he rolls or dashes away.
Brewmaster
* Thunder Clap and Drunken Brawler prevent Faceless Void from maximising his damage potential in fights.
* Cyclone disables Faceless Void during Chronosphere or in general.
Spirit Breaker
* Spirit Breaker's Charge of Darkness semi-reveals Bounty Hunter, taking away his element of surprise for the duration of the charge. Also, as Charge of Darkness shows Bounty Hunter's position, Spirit Breaker's allies can proceed to gank Bounty Hunter while he is roaming alone.
Brewmaster
* Dispel Magic can remove Abaddon's 
Aphotic Shield or 
Curse of Avernus on an allied hero.
* Cyclone's lengthy duration wastes much of 
Borrowed Time's duration.

* {U:Storm}'s Cyclone can cancel the channeling of Echo Stomp and take Elder Titan out of the fight for {show:A|Storm|Cyclone|value2} seconds.
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.
Brewmaster
* Storm's Dispel Magic combined with Thunder Clap deals high damage against Chaos Knight's illusions even in the late game.
* Chaos Knight's reliance on physical damage is easily hindered by Drunken Brawler.
* Chaos Knight's lack of area effect and mobility makes him easily overwhelmed by Primal Split.
Additional:
* Dispel Magic from {U:Storm} can instantly kill Phantasms early on, and can still deal a lot of damage to them late game, revealing the real Chaos Knight.

* Other than Magic Missile, Vengeful Spirit has no way of canceling Nether Strike.
Brewmaster
* Brewmaster can make the Spirit Bear a much smaller threat with Cinder Brew.
* Cyclone removes the bear from a fight so that his team can easily focus on the hero.
* While most heroes would be worn down by a Spirit Bear 
Radiance in the time it takes to kill Lone Druid, Brewmaster is protected in Primal Split.
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.

Brewmaster
* Heroes with evasions: Phantom Assassin, Brewmaster,

Blink to escape, but with vision from Charge of Darkness it is easier to catch him.

* As Anti-Mage is an elusive hero who likes to farm alone, Spirit Breaker could choose to charge whenever Anti-Mage is in sight.
Spirit Breaker
* 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.

Purification and 
Degen Aura, what could be an opportunity could quickly turn into disaster.
* 
Heavenly Grace 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) deals lesser damage if he is within the radius of Degen Aura.
* Due to this, Spirit Breaker's damage will always be lower when targeting Omniknight.
Brewmaster
* Dispel Magic from {U:Storm} instantly removes Heavenly Grace and Guardian Angel from Omniknight's allies in its radius of effect.
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 intelligence, rendering him almost useless and unable to cast spells. Spirit Breaker's low intelligence also means 
Sanity's Eclipse will deal a lot of damage to him.
*
Brewmaster
* Outworld Destroyer's pure damage will mop up Primal Split's units very quickly.
