Sven
* Heroes that can prevent Sven from farming are very strong against him. Such as 
Riki and 
Bounty Hunter with their respective invisibility.
Void Spirit
* One hit with 
Jinada should be sufficient in removing Void Spirit's shield most of the time.
* 
Track negates much of Void Spirit's escape abilities by revealing his position and prevents him from rotating effectively.
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.
Void Spirit
* 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.
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.
Void Spirit
* Heroes with burst damage of their own won't be afraid to go toe to toe with Void Spirit, like Ursa, Lifestealer, or 
Axe.
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.
Void Spirit
* Side lanes with disables will greatly reduce the likeliness Void Spirit will be willing to rotate: Sven, 
Tiny, 
Wraith King, 
Ogre Magi.
Sven
* Sven is very vulnerable to chain stun such as 
Lion, 
Shadow Shaman or 
Magnus.
Void Spirit
* Lion's instant cast point shuts down his initiation and buys time for his allies to catch up.
* 
Void Spirit has to be cautious when fighting, as he has no protection against 
Finger of Death. If caught out in a stun, the high magic damage could end him quickly.
Sven
* Melee heroes with low mobility can be kited and killed by Viper: 
Treant Protector, 
Kunkka, Alchemist, 
Troll Warlord, Wraith King, Tiny, Sven.
Void Spirit
* 
Poison Attack makes it hard for Void Spirit to lane against him.
* 
Corrosive Skin reduces the magical damage from Void Spirit's spells.
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.
Void Spirit
* Heroes that can purge his slow and disables are very difficult to go on and their team: 
Abaddon, 
Oracle.
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.
Void Spirit
* Nukers who have set amounts of damage will really struggle against Lone Druid especially in True Form: 
Puck, Void Spirit, 
Mars.
Sven
* Heroes that rely on physical damage are ineffective against Dragon Knight due to his high armor: Phantom Assassin,
Bloodseeker, Lifestealer, Troll Warlord, Sven
Void Spirit
* Heroes who can match Void Spirit's mobility (like the aforementioned 
Ember Spirit or 
Queen of Pain) or tank his spells (
Dragon Knight or 
Centaur Warrunner) are very problematic for him.
Sven
* Heroes who thrive on teamfights can be a problem, such as 
Venomancer, 
Necrophos, Centaur Warrunner...
Void Spirit
* Heroes who can match Void Spirit's mobility (like the aforementioned Ember Spirit or Queen of Pain) or tank his spells (Dragon Knight or Centaur Warrunner) are very problematic for him.
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
* 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.
Void Spirit
* 
Fiend's Grip and 
Nightmare are very useful to lock down Void Spirit.
* 
Brain Sap can be difficult for Void Spirit to deal with in the laning stage.
Void Spirit
* The brutal physical damage of 
Slithereen Crush and 
Bash of the Deep can quickly remove Void Spirit's shield and stun him for a while.
* 
Corrosive Haze provides vision of Void Spirit while he is running away and 
Guardian Sprint allows Slardar to quickly close the gap
Void Spirit
* 
Rupture will fully damage Void Spirit during his ultimate, removing his main escape mechanic during fights and his way to disrupt them heavily.
* 
Blood Rite will force Void Spirit to use Dissimilate or Astral Step or be silenced. In the latter's case, it can be dangerous when combined with Rupture.
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
* 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
* 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
* 
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.
Void Spirit
* Ember Spirit has much higher mobility in 
Fire Remnant than Void Spirit.
* Ember's 
Flame Guard is effective against Void Spirit's spells, as most of them deal magical damage.
* The root from 
Searing Chains prevents Void Spirit from using Dissimilate or Astral Step.
Void Spirit
* Queen of Pain can 
Blink to both escape and initiate onto Void Spirit.
* She is also a very common 
Orchid Malevolence carrier, which can prevent Void Spirit from contributing much in fights.
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
* Primal Roar takes Sven out of the fight completely, even with Black King Bar.
Sven
* Against her Untouchable, Sven is barely able to hit Enchantress even with his Black King Bar.
Void Spirit
* Side lanes with disables will greatly reduce the likeliness Void Spirit will be willing to rotate: Sven, Tiny, Wraith King, Ogre Magi.
Sven
* Heroes that deal few, powerful instances of damage, like Oracle, Lion, or Sven, have a hard time breaking through Gravekeeper's Cloak.
Void Spirit
* Heroes with burst damage of their own won't be afraid to go toe to toe with Void Spirit, like Ursa, Lifestealer, or Axe.
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
* Sven is very vulnerable to chain stun such as Lion, Shadow Shaman or Magnus.
Sven
* Heroes who can stun Sven even with an activated Black King Bar can be an issue: 
Clockwerk, 
Beastmaster.
Void Spirit
* Heroes that can purge his slow and disables are very difficult to go on and their team: Abaddon, Oracle.
Void Spirit
* Heroes with burst damage of their own won't be afraid to go toe to toe with Void Spirit, like Ursa, Lifestealer, or Axe.
Sven
* Heroes who thrive on teamfights can be a problem, such as Venomancer, Necrophos, Centaur Warrunner...
Sven
* Melee carries during the laning phase: Sven, 
Slark
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
* 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
* 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.
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.
Void Spirit
* Heroes who take a long time to become strong are in for a rough mid game, such as 
Outworld Destroyer, Magnus, 
Medusa, and 
Anti-Mage.
Void Spirit
* Wins on the central line, thanks to its strong nukes 
Shadowraze, because of which Void Spirit cannot approach the creeps to farm gold and overtake Shadow Fiend by level
Additional:
* Wins on the central line, thanks to its strong nukes Shadowraze, because of which Void Spirit cannot approach the creeps to farm gold and overtake Shadow Fiend by level
Sven
* Late game heroes are Sven's favourite kind of opponent, such as Anti-Mage, Spectre and 
Shadow Fiend.
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.
Void Spirit
* Heroes with abilities that can close the gap can easily kill Muerta: 
Storm Spirit, 
Earth Spirit, Ember Spirit, Void Spirit, 
Lycan, 
Chaos Knight, 
Tusk.
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.
Void Spirit
* Astral Step and Dissimilate makes a quick work of Phantom Lancer's illusions.
* 
Resonant Pulse helps clear illusions and protects Void Spirit from Phantom Lancer's physical damage and with the Aghanim's Scepter upgrade, it prevents Phantom Lancer from casting his abilities.
* Void's Spirit mobility makes it hard for him to chase down with Phantom Rush.
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.
Void Spirit
* Heroes that can easily bypass Chen's creeps to get to Chen: Riki, Tusk, 
Clinkz, 
Sniper, Slark, Phantom Assassin, Void Spirit, Storm Spirit, Ember Spirit, Earth Spirit, 
Spirit Breaker.
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.
Void Spirit
* Heroes with abilities that can lock down Terrorblade and prevent him from using Sunder: 
Bane, 
Batrider, 
Earthshaker, 
Elder Titan, 
Faceless Void, 
Invoker, 
Legion Commander, Mars, 
Primal Beast, Riki, Shadow Shaman, 
Silencer, 
Vengeful Spirit, Void Spirit.
Additional:
* Void Spirit's high mobility becomes a nuisance to Terrorblade.
* Void Spirit's arsenal of magic damage is effective against Terrorblade's low strength.
* Terrorblade has no disables to prevent Void Spirit from escaping.
Sven
* Great Cleave will kill Lycan's summons very rapidly.
* Warcry will allow Sven and his allies to tank Lycan's damage, which is mainly physical.
* Storm Hammer will damage and stun Lycan's as well as his summons.
Void Spirit
* Heroes that can summon units will have their summons destroyed very quickly if badly micro-managed, like 
Chen, Lycan, and Phantom Lancer.
Sven
* Other heroes that rely on physical attacks to deal damage and not their abilities: Troll Warlord, Sniper, 
Monkey King, Sven.
Sven
* Sven with Aghanim's Scepter-upgraded Storm Hammer can easily chase down Windranger and dispel her Windrun at the same time.
Void Spirit
* Void Spirit deals entirely magical damage in the early game, ignoring her evasion from 
Windrun.
* A Void Spirit with fast reaction time can use Dissimilate or Astral Step to dodge 
Powershot.
Additional:
* Void Spirit deals entirely magical damage in the early game, ignoring her evasion from Windrun.
* A Void Spirit with fast reaction time can use Dissimilate or Astral Step to dodge Powershot.
Void Spirit
* With Aghanim's Scepter, Broodmother will gain access to 
Spinner's Snare, which will allow her to create invisible lines on her webs from 
Spin Web that will root, deal damage over time, and reveal enemy heroes if they unwittingly step on them. This allows Broodmother to keep her allies alerted on heroes who rely on invisibility-themed and movement-themed abilities and items to surprise enemy heroes and disrupt ganking attempts of enemy heroes: Phantom Assassin, 
Nyx Assassin, 
Mirana, Bounty Hunter, Templar Assassin, Riki, Spirit Breaker, Anti-Mage, Tusk, Ursa, 
Nature's Prophet, 
Enigma, Void Spirit, Magnus etc.
Sven
* Great Cleave cleans up Spiderlings quicker than most spells, as it ignores their magic resistance.
* Sven is a natural Black King Bar carrier, protecting him from Silken Bola, Spawn Spiderlings and Orchid Malevolence.
* Warcry and God's Strength allow Sven to easily out-damage Broodmother.
Additional:
* Great Cleave can clear Spiderlings very quickly, and give Sven lot of gold.
* Warcry shields Sven and his allies against Broodmother and her Spiderlings.
Void Spirit
* Void Spirit's AoE damage can make short work of Broodmother's spiderlings
* Even if she is within the range of her spiderwebs from Spin Web Broodmother cannot escape Void Spirit's mobility.
* However, Spinner's Snare from Aghanim's Scepter can be very hazardous for Void Spirit, as it allows Broodmother to create invisible lines on her webs from Spin Web that will root Void Spirit, deal damage over time to him and reveal him if he unwittingly steps on them, disrupting Void Spirit's ganking or escaping attempts with Dissimilate and Astral Step while also alerting Broodmother on his attempts to ambush her and her allies.
Additional:
* Void Spirit's AoE damage can make short work of Broodmother's spiderlings

Sven
* Late game heroes are Sven's favourite kind of opponent, such as Anti-Mage, Spectre and Shadow Fiend.
Void Spirit
* Void Spirit is strong against heroes who cannot deal with his rotations due to his mobility. Such heroes include Spectre, 
Gyrocopter, Morphling, and Chen.
Sven
* Sven's Great Cleave can clear Anti-Mage's illusions from Manta Style and his high health pool and low mana, making Mana Void very ineffective, although keep in mind that Storm Hammer is extremely easy to reflect with a well-timed Counterspell.
Additional:
* Anti-Mage is fairly fragile, and cannot stand against Sven in a prolonged fight.
* Sven's Black King Bar and low base mana can protect Sven from the effects of 
Mana Break and 
Mana Void.
* Great Cleave destroys the illusions from Anti-Mage's 
Manta Style.
* Although Sven should be careful as a well-timed 
Counterspell can block and reflect Storm Hammer back at Sven.
Void Spirit
* Heroes who take a long time to become strong are in for a rough mid game, such as Outworld Destroyer, Magnus, Medusa, and Anti-Mage.
Sven
* Sven has a high health pool and is a natural Black King Bar holder and is very hard to kill for Lina.
* Sven also has high physical damage, making it easy for him to burst her down.
Sven
* Heroes who rely on burst physical damage are affected by Lucky Shot's disarm: 
Terrorblade, Sven, Clinkz, 
Windranger, Alchemist, Dragon Knight, Legion Commander
Sven
* Warcry can protect Sven and his teammates from 
Swashbuckle.
* With Black King Bar, Sven will be able to protect himself from most of Pangolier's skills.
Void Spirit
* Heroes with considerable mobility can easily escape from a rolling Pangolier: Anti-Mage, Queen of Pain, Void Spirit, Storm Spirit, Ember Spirit, Earth Spirit, moreover, if a player is familiar with how Rolling Thunder works, they can adjust their movement to avoid it entirely and of course outplay the Pangolier player.
Void Spirit
* Keeping Void Spirit inside 
Wukong's Command is a very tricky task, especially in the early and mid game. In addition, if Monkey King is in a bad position, a well placed Aether Remnant can easily pull him out of the ring.
* Getting stacks of 
Jingu Mastery can be difficult when attacking Void Spirit.
Sven
* Storm Hammer stunned can stops Snapfire's 
Mortimer Kisses.
Sven
* Storm Hammer's faster projectile speed and cast time allows Sven to stun Chaos Knight and his illusions before he can cast Chaos Bolt.
* Warcry's armor bonus counteracts Reality Rift's debuff and reduces Chaos Knight's damage output.
* Great Cleave and God's Strength devastates Phantasm illusions.
Additional:
* Great Cleave is very effective against Chaos Knight's illusions.
* Storm Hammer's radius can catch all of Chaos Knight's illusions at once, especially after 
Reality Rift.
* Warcry shields Sven and his teammates against Chaos Knight's physical damage output.
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.
* Storm Hammer disrupts Upheaval.
Sven
* Warcry makes it difficult to burst Sven down with both the passive (with Aghanim's Shard) and active component.
* Sven under the effect of God's Strength and his massive physical damage make Sven very dangerous to engage in the mid game.
Void Spirit
* Dissimilate and Astral Step allow Void Spirit to quickly escape from Cold Feet.
* Void Spirit deals both magical and physical damage, which makes Ancient Apparition an easy target to ambush.
* If Void Spirit purchases Aghanim's Scepter, the silence provided by Resonant Pulse can disrupt Ancient Apparition during fights, as he is entirely reliant upon spells to contribute.
Sven
* Storm Hammer interrupts Echo Stomp.
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.
Sven
* Heroes whose attacks can affect multiple enemies at once will clear Naga Siren's illusions. Such heroes include Sven, Magnus, Dragon Knight, 
Luna, Medusa, Templar Assassin, Gyrocopter, 
Muerta.
Void Spirit
* Heroes that can reliably kite out Dispose, Unleash and dodge Rebound, like Ember Spirit, Void Spirit, Storm Spirit, Anti-Mage, Faceless Void, Puck or always build items like Blink Dagger and 
Force Staff.
Sven
* A couple of nukers and disablers on the same lane can finish a squishy Luna efficiently despite a teammate's assistance: Sven + Shadow Shaman.
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.
Sven
* Sven is very vulnerable to chain stun such as Lion, Shadow Shaman or Magnus.
Sven
* Any hero who can counter-initiate in anticipation without getting caught in Reverse Polarity: Sven, 
Omniknight, Enigma, Luna, 
Naga Siren, Mars, 
Jakiro, Venomancer, Elder Titan, Faceless Void, 
Rubick, 
Keeper of the Light, 
Pugna, Invoker, Spectre, Alchemist, Treant Protector, 
Lina, Oracle, 
Zeus, Shadow Shaman, 
Phoenix, 
Razor, Huskar, Batrider, Kunkka, 
Tidehunter, Wraith King, 
Sand King, Medusa, 
Dawnbreaker.
Void Spirit
* Heroes who take a long time to become strong are in for a rough mid game, such as Outworld Destroyer, Magnus, Medusa, and Anti-Mage.
Sven
* Fragile supports who die in a few hits against Sven's high physical damage: 
Crystal Maiden, Vengeful Spirit, 
Dark Willow.
Sven
* Melee carries who usually buy an early Black King Bar, and have gap closing abilities can be good against the Arc Warden, such as Slark, Riki, Earthshaker with Aghanim's Scepter, Sven with Aghanim's Scepter etc.
Sven
* Generally heroes who don't rely on magical damage, such as Sven, Phantom Assassin, and Outworld Destroyer, as they can practically ignore Flesh Heap's damage block.
Sven
* Heroes with high burst damage and Black King Bar can take down Dark Willow quickly: Phantom Assassin, Sven, Wraith King
Sven
* Heroes who cannot prevent Sven from killing supports will always be at a disadvantage in fights such as Lina, Slark and Zeus.
Sven
* Heroes who cannot prevent Sven from killing supports will always be at a disadvantage in fights such as Lina, Slark and Zeus.
Sven
* Heroes who struggle to fight back against Sven at any point in the game are at a severe disadvantage: Alchemist, Anti-Mage, Crystal Maiden.
Sven
* Strong laners are usually at a disadvantage because of how well Sven can jungle. Heroes such as 
Dark Seer. 
Underlord and Legion Commander may find that later Sven takes care of them very quickly after some jungle farming.
Void Spirit
* Heroes with either magical, physical or pure damage burst: Bane, Ember Spirit, 
Leshrac, Lina, Luna, Nyx Assassin, Phantom Assassin, 
Skywrath Mage, 
Tinker, Ursa, Void Spirit.
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.
* However 
Blade Fury provides spell immunity which blocks the stun from Storm Hammer.
Void Spirit
* Meepo's 
Earthbind can easily lockdown Void Spirit.
* Meepo and his clones can easily burst Void Spirit's Resonant Pulse.
Sven
* Great Cleave and God's Strength can take down Meepo and his clones very quickly.
* The lack of spell immunity for Meepo's clones makes them vulnerable to Storm Hammer.
Additional:
* Great Cleave will devastate Meepo's clones. Against a closely packed group, Sven does not even need to target the clone with the lowest health.
Void Spirit
* Void Spirit can dodge Earthbind with Dissimilate and Astral Step, giving him a good chance to escape. If he gets caught anyways, Resonant Pulse allows him to retaliate.
Void Spirit
* Side lanes with disables will greatly reduce the likeliness Void Spirit will be willing to rotate: Sven, Tiny, Wraith King, Ogre Magi.
Sven
* 
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
* 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.
* Sniper is very squishy, and will not stand a chance against Sven head on.
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.
Void Spirit
* Void Spirit can easily dodge Gyrocopter's {Ability ID:Homing Missile|gyrocopter} with the help of Dissimilate.
* Void Spirit can partly dodge 
Call Down via Dissimilate or move out of its range with Astral Step.
* Gyrocopter has no escape abilities, which benefits Void Spirit's high mobility.
Void Spirit
* Special mention to Legion Commander, as she can lock down Void Spirit for a long amount of time without worrying too much about being killed by him during the 
Duel.
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.
Sven
* Heroes with naturally low mana can be easily shut down by E.M.P.: Sven, Tiny, Wraith King, Omniknight
Void Spirit
* A good choice against Invoker, as it has some advantage with the help of abilities.
* With the Dissimilate, Voidspirit can evade Invoker's skills, going to another world where he does not receive damage. The same ability to run away or attack quickly.
* Astral Step moves quickly from point to point, which also reduces the Invoker's probability that he will hit him with skills and cause at least some damage.
Additional:
* A good choice against Invoker, as it has some advantage with the help of abilities.
* With the Dissimilate, Voidspirit can evade Invoker's skills, like 
Chaos Meteor or 
E.M.P., going to another world where he does not receive damage. The same ability to run away or attack quickly.
* Astral Step moves quickly from point to point, which also reduces the Invoker's probability that he will hit him with skills and cause at least some damage.
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.
Void Spirit
* Void Spirit can greatly pressure Morphling's farm, which is very bad for a hero who needs a large amount of space.
* 
Waveform does not provide better mobility than Astral Step.
* If Morphling shifted all of his strength to agility, he can be bursted down by Void Spirit before he can react.
* Doing an Ethereal Blade combo on Void Spirit is incredibly difficult, as Dissimilate and Astral Step can allow him to escape or dodge the projectile.
Void Spirit
* 
Doom is effective against every hero, and Void Spirit is no exception. Being unable to cast spells or items during fights for 16 seconds nullifies his impact entirely.
* Doom has a very versatile build and can consume creeps which has abilities that can stun or provide additional magic resistance.
* Doom's high strength gain and versatility in items can be effective against Void Spirit's magical damage.
Sven
* Doom generally does not impede Sven in almost any way, provided he has activated God's Strength beforehand.
Sven
* Sprout is good for trapping melee carries with no escape abilities: Sven, Alchemist, Lifestealer etc.
Sven
* Heroes with cleave damage: Sven, Magnus, Kunkka.
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, Chaos Knight, Sven, Wraith King, Bounty Hunter, Alchemist, Templar Assassin, Nyx Assassin, Bane.
Sven
* Strong laners are usually at a disadvantage because of how well Sven can jungle. Heroes such as Dark Seer. Underlord and Legion Commander may find that later Sven takes care of them very quickly after some jungle farming.
Void Spirit
* 
Spirit Siphon and 
Exorcism can damage through his Resonant Pulse shields.
* 
Silence can prevent Void Spirit escape or contributing much in fights.
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.
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
* 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.
Void Spirit
* Heroes who take a long time to become strong are in for a rough mid game, such as Outworld Destroyer, Magnus, Medusa, and Anti-Mage.
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
* Sven has no easy way to burn
Refraction charges and needs help from teammates to kill TA successfully.
Void Spirit
*
Refraction negates all of Void Spirit's burst damage.
Meld quickly burns through 
Resonant Pulse.
