Sven
* Melee heroes with low mobility can be kited and killed by Viper: 
Treant Protector, 
Kunkka, 
Alchemist, 
Troll Warlord, 
Wraith King, 
Tiny, 
Sven.
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.
Sven
* Sven is very vulnerable to chain stun such as 
Lion, 
Shadow Shaman or 
Magnus.
Dawnbreaker
* Due to her slow movement speed,heroes with crowd control and slows can shut down Dawnbreaker:Lion, 
Crystal Maiden ,
Venomancer etc.
Sven
* Heroes who thrive on teamfights can be a problem, such as Venomancer, 
Necrophos, 
Centaur Warrunner...
Dawnbreaker
* Due to her slow movement speed,heroes with crowd control and slows can shut down Dawnbreaker:Lion, Crystal Maiden ,Venomancer etc.
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.
Sven
* 
Cold Embrace saves any ally Sven initiates on and wastes the duration of God's Strength in team fights.
* 
Winter's Curse can be devastating to Sven's team, as his massive damage can take out a teammate before there is much time to react.
Sven
* 
Berserker's Call prevents Sven from bursting his targets before Axe can interfere. The worst kind of opponent for Sven is one who can stop him from attacking who he wants to, which is exactly what Axe does.
* 
Culling Blade may finish off Sven before he has the chance to lifesteal or run with Warcry.
* Axe is a very common 
Blade Mail carrier which will make very short work of a Sven with God's Strength activated.
Sven
* Stone Gaze allows Medusa to easily kite and kill Sven.
* Mana Shield negates much of Sven's burst damage.
Additional:
* 
Mana Shield makes it very hard for Sven to burst her within Storm Hammer's stun duration.
* 
Stone Gaze makes it very difficult for Sven to fight Medusa at any stage of the game.
* 
Mystic Snake can slow Sven down enough for allies to capitalize on his commitment in a fight.
Sven
* Undying can use Decay not only to reduce Sven's maximum health, but also to reduce the damage he can deal with his ultimate.
* Zombies spawned by Tombstone together with Flesh Golem slow Sven down significantly. Landing Sven's powerful but somewhat slow right-click on Tombstone would be a waste.
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.
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.
Sven
* Multicast Fireblasts over the course of fights are a decent nuisance to stall Sven's massive damage output.
* Bloodlust and Ignite gives Ogre Magi's team the movement speed difference needed to chase and/or disengage against a Sven and his 
Warcry.
* Ignite provides strong damage over time to pressure Sven early on in the laning phase and keep his health low, delaying his transition into the jungle. Ignite is also an easy way to disrupt 
Blink Dagger, Sven's most popular way of initiation.
* Ogre Magi's presence in the laning phase both in terms of damage and durability keeps high pressure on Sven in lane.
* Purchasing an 
Aghanim's Shard allows Ogre Magi to greatly reduce the burst damage of Sven, who tends to build items focused on damage per hit instead of attack speed.
Sven
* His Heartstopper Aura deals the same gradual damage over time no matter how high Sven builds his strength or health pool up, and should he fall down to a certain percentage, his high health will no longer matter if Necrophos manages to land his Reaper's Scythe, killing him instantly. But it is best if Necrophos can either catch him off guard before he can possibly use his 
Black King Bar (which is an item Sven players commonly purchase), or bait him out of it.
* Ghost Shroud prevents Sven from hitting Necrophos, and if he doesn't have his 
Storm Hammer available, it could make him completely immune to Sven and allow Necrophos to easily kite him around.
Sven
* 
Cloak and Dagger makes Sven unable to detect where Riki is until he shows or his team provides detection.
* 
Smoke Screen will make Sven miss attacks before he has his Black King Bar.
Sven
* Pugna can save allies with both healing or by making them ethereal but needs to be careful of Sven's 
Aghanim's Scepter purge.
Sven
* Sven can be easily kited since Weaver is a natural 
Linken's Sphere carrier and Sven relies on Storm Hammer to disable and kill a hero.
Sven
* 
Whirling Axes (Melee)'s blind makes Sven nearly useless in the early game and allows Troll Warlord to take him on comfortably.
* 
Battle Trance will mean Sven will never take Troll out in a 1vs1 with equal farm.
Additional:
* Berserker's Rage together with Troll Warlord's high attack speed gives Troll a high chance of rooting enemies, which allows Troll Warlord to man-fight Sven.
* Whirling Axes (Melee) provides a 60% miss chance, and the passive armor provided by Berserker's Rage makes Troll resilient to physical damage in early game. Sven's 
God's Strength is much less effective as a result.
* Beware that Sven can farm much faster than Troll Warlord by stacking ancients and clearing them with 
Great Cleave.
Sven
* Sven has no easy way to burn 
Refraction charges and needs help from teammates to kill TA successfully.
Sven
* Against her Untouchable, Sven is barely able to hit Enchantress even with his Black King Bar.
Sven
* Heroes that deal few, powerful instances of damage, like 
Oracle, Lion, or Sven, have a hard time breaking through Gravekeeper's Cloak.
Sven
* Fate's Edict cripples many heroes who rely on attacks, such as 
Phantom Assassin, Sven, or 
Enchantress, without a dispel or a Black King Bar.
Sven
* Heroes who can stun Sven even with an activated Black King Bar can be an issue: 
Clockwerk, 
Beastmaster.
Sven
* Heroes that can prevent Sven from farming are very strong against him. Such as 
Riki and 
Bounty Hunter with their respective invisibility.
Sven
* Sven is very vulnerable to chain stun such as Lion, Shadow Shaman or Magnus.
Sven
* Tanky melee heroes that can easily be kited, which allows Outworld Destroyer to deal heavy damage with Arcane Orb from a distance: Sven, 
Underlord, 
Bristleback.
Sven
* Heroes who thrive on teamfights can be a problem, such as Venomancer, Necrophos, Centaur Warrunner...
Sven
* Heroes who can take advantage of God's Strength being on cooldown are also not great matchups, such as 
Templar Assassin, 
Morphling and 
Huskar.
Sven
* Melee carries during the laning phase: Sven, 
Slark
Sven
* Heroes that rely on right-clicks will find themselves unable to damage opponents seriously after being affected by Static Link, like Sven, 
Bloodseeker, and 
Juggernaut.
Additional:
* 
Static Link saps Sven's insane attack damage, and goes through Black King Bar.
Sven
* Heroes with naturally low mana can be easily shut down by E.M.P.: Sven, Tiny, Wraith King, 
Omniknight
Sven
* Heroes that lose a great amount of damage output and become less threatening: Phantom Assassin, Sven, Slark, 
Phantom Lancer.
* Once you have an Aghanim's Scepter, Shadow Demon instantly reaches a new power spike and becomes a counter for a variety of heroes that have strong passives.
* Heroes that lose a great amount of their tankiness and become easier to finish off: Bristleback, 
Spectre, Phantom Assassin, Enchantress, 
Dragon Knight.
* Heroes that lose a great amount of damage output and become less threatening: Phantom Assassin, Sven, Slark, Phantom Lancer.
* You can always stack camps and farm the scepter with Shadow Poison.
Sven
* 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.
Sven
* Heroes who can take advantage of God's Strength being on cooldown are also not great matchups, such as Templar Assassin, Morphling and Huskar.
Dawnbreaker
* Heroes with channeling spells are very easy targets for Jakiro's abilities: Crystal Maiden, 
Dawnbreaker, 
Enigma, 
Pudge, 
Shadow Fiend, Shadow Shaman, 
Warlock.
Sven
* Heroes that rely on physical damage are ineffective against Dragon Knight due to his high armor: Phantom Assassin,Bloodseeker, Lifestealer, Troll Warlord, Sven
Sven
* Heroes that relies on armor or other type of physical damage negation are easy for Gyrocopter to take down during the early game with his magical damage: 
Axe, Dragon Knight, Sven.
Sven
* Batrider often hides in the trees to initiate on a target. As such, he has a slight edge against heroes that have no scouting tools and cannot see him coming, such as Lion or Sven.
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: 
Jakiro, 
Viper, Venomancer, Huskar, 
Ember Spirit, 
Dark Seer, 
Sand King, 
Doom, Dawnbreaker. However, this also means they are easily stunned.
Sven
* Primal Roar takes Sven out of the fight completely, even with Black King Bar.
Dawnbreaker
* Heroes with summoned units don't fare well against Dawnbreaker. (Phantom Lancer ,Beastmaster ,
Lycan).
Sven
* Storm Hammer locks down Chen and his converted creeps.
* Great Cleave and God's Strength can destroy Chen and his creeps quickly.
* Warcry minimizes damage taken from creeps's attacks.
Additional:
* Great Cleave can quickly destroy Chen's creeps in team fights, before they have a chance to do much.
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.
Additional:
* 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.
Sven
* God's Strength makes Sven one of the worst heroes to Duel.
* Storm Hammer can be used to interrupt Duels.
* Warcry gives a big boost in passive defensive ability with the active component to nearby allies.
* With the Aghanim Shard Warcry also gives nearby allies passive increases.
Dawnbreaker
* Solar Guardian can save allies who are being dueled and will interrupt her 
Duel initiation.
Sven
* Great Cleave and God's Strength destroys illusions in just a few hits.
* Storm Hammer's AoE stun will hit Phantom Lancer when he's grouped up with illusions.
* Sven's low mana causes him to take less damage from 
Diffusal Blade. This is further reduced by the armor bonus from Warcry.
Additional:
* Great Cleave and God's Strength cuts through Phantom Lancer's illusions in no time.
* Storm Hammer's AoE stun will hit Phantom Lancer and his illusions.
Dawnbreaker
* Heroes with summoned units don't fare well against Dawnbreaker. (Phantom Lancer ,Beastmaster ,Lycan).

Luna, 
Medusa, Templar Assassin, 
Gyrocopter, 
Muerta.
Dawnbreaker

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.

* Solar Guardian allows Dawnbreaker to counter any pushing 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. Solar Guardian can also be used after Naga Siren uses Song of the Siren near her allies to either escape from or counter-initiate against them.
Sven
* Great Cleave with God's Strength clears Terrorblade's illusions quickly.
* Storm Hammer's AoE stuns Terrorblade and his illusions.
* Warcry gives Sven and his allies armor to withstand Terrorblade's only-physical damage output.
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,

* Storm Hammer will damage and stun Lycan's as well as his summons.
Dawnbreaker
* Heroes with summoned units don't fare well against Dawnbreaker. (Phantom Lancer ,Beastmaster ,Lycan).
Sven
* Late game heroes are Sven's favourite kind of opponent, such as 
Anti-Mage, Spectre and Shadow Fiend.
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.
Additional:
* 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
Sven
* Late game heroes are Sven's favourite kind of opponent, such as Anti-Mage, Spectre and Shadow Fiend.
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.
Sven
* Heroes who cannot prevent Sven from killing towers will often struggle from a small map very early, such as Phantom Assassin, 
Storm Spirit and Phantom Lancer.
Dawnbreaker
* Heroes capable of perofrming interceptions who can anticipate and counter-initiate after Phantom Assassin blinks on them with Phantom Strike will often kill her than the other way around: Axe, Bane, Dawnbreaker, Centaur Warrunner, Luna, Medusa, Omniknight, Pudge, 
Razor, 
Terrorblade, Underlord.
Sven
* Sprout is good for trapping melee carries with no escape abilities: Sven, Alchemist, Lifestealer etc.
Sven
* Heroes with cleave damage: Sven, Magnus, Kunkka.
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.

* 
Avalanche and 
Toss will never be enough damage to take out Sven in a clean way.
* Tiny is very slow with low armour growth and does not buy items to sustain Sven's damage output.
Sven
* God's Strength allows Sven to take down Death Prophet quickly, reducing the damage dealt over time from 
Exorcism.
* Warcry's bonus armor and movement speed is very useful for Sven and his teammates against Exorcism, which deals physical damage.
Dawnbreaker
* Solar Guardian can save an ally getting targeted and focused by Spirit Breaker.
Sven
* With God's Strength, Warlock's Golem from 
Chaotic Offering will go down in a matter of seconds. The two weaker golems granted by Aghanim's Scepter will fare worse due to Great Cleave hitting both.
* Aghanim's Scepter upgraded Storm Hammer Aghanim's Scepter can dispel 
Shadow Word.
Additional:
* God's Strength combined with Great Cleave destroys Chaotic Offering golems within seconds.
* Warcry gives Sven and his allies armor to help against Warlock's Golem's heavy physical damage and movement speed to help escape Upheaval.

Sven
* Great Cleave and God's Strength can take down Meepo and his clones very quickly.

* Sven's Black King Bar and low base mana can protect Sven from the effects of 
Mana Break and 
Mana Void.

Sven
* Heroes with high burst damage and Black King Bar can take down Dark Willow quickly: Phantom Assassin, Sven, Wraith King
Sven
* Heroes who are entirely reliant on dealing physical damage and/or have very little to no area-of-effect abilities will make Underlord tickle and will have no effect against him thanks to his 
Atrophy Aura, and will also be unable to ambush Underlord and his team if Underlord chooses to use 
Fiend's Gate to get to a designated point of the map: Phantom Assassin, Terrorblade, Troll Warlord, 
Drow Ranger, Phantom Lancer,

* Side lanes with disables will greatly reduce the likeliness Void Spirit will be willing to rotate: Sven, Tiny, Wraith King, 
Ogre Magi.
Sven
* Heroes with high armor and/or durability can handle Juggernaut's ultimate, such as Sven and Dragon Knight.
Additional:
* Warcry allows Sven to tank the damage from 
Omnislash due to its high armor gain.

Dawnbreaker
* Heroes whose abilities can affect multiple enemies at once: Dawnbreaker, Ember Spirit, Lina, Luna, Jakiro, Leshrac, Invoker, Muerta, 
Dazzle.

Sven
* Sven with Aghanim's Scepter-upgraded Storm Hammer can easily chase down Windranger and dispel her Windrun at the same time.
Sven
* Special mention to Sven as he may not be able to get close, but if he does, God's Strength will make very short work of Sniper.
Sven
* Past the early game, Sniper is an easy target for Sven to jump on with Aghanim's Scepter upgraded Storm Hammer, Blink Dagger, 
Silver Edge or 
Harpoon, common items on Sven.
* Sven's high armor and health pool makes it difficult for Sniper to focus, as his main source of damage is his right click, especially if Sven uses Warcry.

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.

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.

Dawnbreaker
* Solar Guardian can heal allies that trapped inside Chronosphere.
Sven
* Muerta's attacks during 
Pierce the Veil ignore Sven's Warcry.
* Sven using God's Strength can be completely ignored by using Pierce the Veil.
* Sven with Aghanim's Scepter will still not be able to dispel Muerta's Ethereal form during Pierce the Veil.
* However, Sven is a natural purchaser of Black King Bar that can protect him from Pierce the Veil and the rest of Muerta's kit.
Dawnbreaker
* Dawnbreaker can use Solar Guardian to help her team against Muerta whenever they are in distress against her, especially when trapped in the radius of the The Calling. Aghanim's Scepter upgraded Solar Guardian can also give Dawnbreaker's allies evasion against Muerta's attacks from 
Gunslinger while Dawnbreaker is airborne for it's duration.
* Solar Guardian and Starbreaker can disable Muerta even through both, Pierce the Veil and Black King Bar, though Starbreaker will not deal any damage to Muerta as it's damage output is physical instead of magical.
* Celestial Hammer and Solar Guardian deal magical damage which allows Dawnbreaker to fightback against Muerta whenever she has Pierce the Veil. Dawnbreaker can also buy 
Revenant's Brooch to attack Muerta through Pierce the Veil with Starbreaker.
* Dawnbreaker is also common Black King Bar wielder which allows her to protect herself against Muerta's abilities. Aghanim's Shard upgraded Starbreaker can also give Dawnbreaker debuff immunity against Muerta's abilities.
Dawnbreaker
* Due to her slow movement speed,heroes with crowd control and slows can shut down Dawnbreaker:Lion, Crystal Maiden ,Venomancer etc.
Sven
* Fragile supports who die in a few hits against Sven's high physical damage: Crystal Maiden, 
Vengeful Spirit, Dark Willow.
Sven
* 
Purification can heal allies while dealing pure damage to Sven.
* 
Heavenly Grace can remove Storm Hammer's debuff immediately or make it a very mediocre stun.
* 
Guardian Angel negates Sven's massive damage during God's Strength.
* It should also be noted Sven can remove Omniknight's active spells with Aghanim's Scepter.
Sven
* Although Sven relies often on physical damage, an Aghanim's Scepter upgraded Storm Hammer can dispel Guardian Angel with its wide radius.
Sven
* With the exception of Magic Missile (unless the player takes the Level 25 Talent "Magic Missile Pierces Spell Immunity"), all of Vengeful Spirit's spells ignore Spell Immunity. This also makes her good against heroes with built-in Spell Immunity like Lifestealer or Juggernaut or heroes that tend to pick up Black King Bar, like Sven.
Sven
* Fragile supports who die in a few hits against Sven's high physical damage: Crystal Maiden, Vengeful Spirit, Dark Willow.
Sven
* Heroes who can fight back easily are not ideal matchups for Sven, such as
Troll Warlord as mentioned above, 
Lone Druid and 
Templar Assassin.
Dawnbreaker
* Savage Roar interrupts
Starbreaker.
* Dawnbreaker is a slow moving hero. Although tanky, Lone Druid can eventually wear her down with his better movement speed.
