Tidehunter
* No matter how Tidehunter builds tanky items such as (
Guardian Greaves, 
Crimson Guard or 
Pipe of Insight), all it needs is for him to fall below a certain percentage of health for him to fall to Reaper's Scythe.
Lone Druid
* 
Ghost Shroud can be use both offensively to slow Lone Druid or Defensively to prevent Lone Druid and The Spirit Bear from attacking him.
* 
Heartstopper aura burns the Spirit bear High HP over time. Additionally, it can deal decent damage to Lone Druid during his True Form.
Tidehunter
* Heroes with large physical resistance do not counter Muerta's 
Pierce the Veil such as 
Omniknight or 
Tidehunter.
Lone Druid
* Heroes that have doubles or clones such as 
Arc Warden, 
Meepo or 
Lone Druid are vulnerable to Muerta's 
Gunslinger.
Lone Druid
* 
Cold Embrace can protect allies from Lone Druid and the Spirit bear, who mainly deal physical damage
* 
Winter's Curse can turn Lone Druid and the Spirit Bear against his teammates.
Lone Druid
* Huskar jumps on the hero without any problems, throwing the 
Summon Spirit Bear away from him and forbidding him to beat, which knocks down the regeneration of Lone Druid from the 
Spirit Link ability, in addition, Huskar instantly deals fatal damage to Lone Druid, in some cases he does not even have time to squeeze the 
True Form

Lone Druid
* 
Laser blinds Lone Druid, making his attacks miss.
Tidehunter
* In the mid-game, Tidehunter relies on 
Kraken Shell to stay alive and get his 
Ravage off. Apart from Thunder Strike, none of Disruptor's abilities can be dispelled, so it's rather easy to trap him inside Kinetic Field and Static Storm.
* Be mindful, however, that Kraken Shell still makes Tidehunter very tanky, so be sure that you can kill him with your combo or your partners while he is silenced and trapped.
Tidehunter
* Both 
Gush and Ravage do little damage against Counterspell.
* Blink helps Anti-Mage escape through 
Anchor Smash.
* Tidehunter's small mana pool can be eated by Mana Break, preventing to spam his abilities and ignores the protection from Kraken Shell.
Additional:
* 
Mana Break quickly burns Tidehunter's mana pool, preventing him from spamming his abilities, and Kraken Shell does not mitigate the bonus damage component.
* 
Blink allows Anti-Mage to enter combat quickly and safely after Ravage.
* A well-timed 
Counterspell can reflect Gush back at Tidehunter.
Lone Druid
* Lone druid's bear attacks on Phoenix's 
Supernova Egg don't increase the hit count. Given that Lone Druid's main hero often doesn't have much farm, the Supernova Egg is less likely to get killed.
Tidehunter
* Ravage's travel time allows Nyx Assassin to easily stun Tidehunter with 
Spiked Carapace.
* 
Vendetta can instantly deplete Tidehunter's low mana pool, especially in the early game, potentially preventing Tidehunter from casting Ravage.
Lone Druid
* Dazzle easily breaks the position of Lone Druid and his Summon Spirit Bear with his 
Poison Touch, As it always hits from afar and prolongs the slowdown on the Summon Spirit Bear, which is why he cannot catch up with Dazzle and treat his master with Spirit Link
* Dazzle helps his team survive the physical attacks of the Summon Spirit Bear thanks to the treatment from 
Shadow Wave and armor from 
Bad Juju, which can enable his team to kill Lone Druid
* The Lone Druid Summon Spirit Bear has a small amount of armor at the start of the game, because of Mid Dazzle, it can very much break through it and prevent Lone Druid from gaining an advantage at the very beginning of the game, giving his team the opportunity to overtake Lone Druid on items for killing him, by type: 
Spirit Vessel

Tidehunter
* 
Fury Swipes will keep stacking on Tidehunter since it cannot be dispelled by Kraken Shell and its bonus damage cannot be reduced by Anchor Smash.
* 
Enrage dispels the slow from Gush, and if upgraded with 
Aghanim's Scepter, can even dispel Ravage's stun.
Lone Druid
* Lone Druid and The Spirit Bear cannot burst down Bristleback due to 
Bristleback
* Bristleback can easily run to Lone Druid without any hesitation, with 
Viscous Nasal Goo to reduce armor and slow the Spirit Bear or Lone Druid and 
Quill Spray can deal damage to both Lone Druid and the Spirit Bear at the same time
Lone Druid
* Chain Frost can deliver high amounts of damage to Lone Druid itself and his bear if they do not separate fast from each other.
Additional:
* 
Chain Frost will bounce between Lone Druid and his bear, forcing them to separate or suffer high amounts of damage.
Tidehunter
* 
Dark Pact dispels debuffs from Gush, Anchor Smash and even Ravage if timed correctly.
* Kraken Shell cannot restore attributes stolen by 
Essence Shift or dispel the leash if he gets 
Pounced.
Tidehunter
* Kraken Shell neither dispels nor provides damage reduction against 
Spirit Siphon. This ability also drains health based on percentage damage, making Tidehunter's large healthpool a very appealing target. Furthermore, the health gained from the Siphon is independent from the amount of damage dealt, so Death Prophet will always heal a large amount of from Tidehunter's pool even if Tidehunter has magic reduction items or abilities on him, which makes her an untargetable enemy for you as this easily outweights any damage output you can provide.
* 
Exorcism is yet another ability from which Kraken Shell provides no useful protection, as the spirits completely ignore the damage block and are unaffected by the dispel. This ability also creates an unfriendly area where your blink will be constantly cancelled, reducing your ability to land a good Ravage.
* Ravage does not stop neither Spirit Siphon nor Exorcism, making the ability mostly ineffective against her. Additionally, Death Prophet usually builds 
Eul's Scepter of Divinity, which can be used to dodge the stun entirely.
Lone Druid
* 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.
Lone Druid
* Grimstroke's 
Soulbind will always reliably connect onto both of them if they are close together.
Lone Druid
* 
Firestorm's percentage damage can quickly demolish the Spirit Bear's high HP
* 
Pit of Malice will allow allies to easily kite Lone Druid due to his low mobility
Tidehunter
* 
Viper STrike cancels out Kraken Shell and stops the hard dispel from passively activating, preventing Tidehunter from functioning as a frontline tank.
* Anchor Smash is mostly irrelevant against a ranged hero like Viper.
* Tidehunter relies on the threat of Ravage, which has an obscenely long cooldown. Viper can exploit the downtime with his short cooldowns.
Lone Druid
* Tiny can be a serious problem for the distance between Lone Druid and his Summon Spirit Bear with his 
Toss ability, since he will throw one away from the other, giving his team the opportunity to deal with either the Summon Spirit Bear or Lone Druid himself
* Lone Druid will not always be in his True Form, since she has her own recharge, which is why Tiny can find him with a 
Shadow Blade or 
Blink Dagger and kill him in a second with a combination of 
Avalanche and Toss, due to the fact that Lone Druid has a very small health reserve without True Form
Additional:

Lone Druid
* Unless Lone Druid purchases a 
Black King Bar for his Spirit Bear, Ensnare will easily kite the Spirit Bear.
* Song of the Siren allows Naga Siren and her team to completely bypass the Spirit Bear and hunt for the Lone Druid himself when starting a fight.
* Lone Druid's lack of innate AoE capabilities mean that Naga Siren's illusions have no problem against him.
Tidehunter
* Positioning-reliant heroes (
Windranger, Tidehunter, 
Ursa...), since Earth Spirit can disrupt positioning with his Boulder Smash.
Lone Druid
* 
Pugna: 
Decrepify prevent the Spirit bear from attacking or protect allies from it.
Lone Druid
* 
Clinkz, 
Sniper, Lone Druid, 
Troll Warlord, 
Legion Commander and 
Wraith King are some of the Heroes that base themselves on attacks with little or no spell power, so they suffer in the grassy hands of Overgrowth.
Tidehunter
* Melee heroes who may struggle to get close to Sniper: Wraith King, 
Kunkka, 
Doom, Tidehunter, 
Underlord, Troll Warlord, and etc.
Tidehunter
* Heroes with strong team-fight abilities (especially ultimates) like Tidehunter, 
Brewmaster, 
Death Prophet, etc.
Additional:
* 
Fade Bolt reduces damage output of Anchor Smash.
* Ravage is an easy target to 
Spell Steal, so always be sure to use Anchor Smash immediately after Ravage when playing against a Rubick.
* Spells stolen by Rubick are potentially stronger due to the lack of cast animations, his talents, and his passive, 
Arcane Supremacy.
Tidehunter
* Heroes who relies on high armor such as 
Dragon Knight, Tidehunter, and 
Pudge can be melted by Eye of the Storm.
Additional:
* Kraken Shell's dispel does not restore damage stolen by 
Static Link, and the stolen damage easily offsets Anchor Smash's damage reduction. Razor can keep attacking Tidehunter from afar, denying his chance to use Anchor Smash.
* 
Eye of the Storm melts Tidehunter's armor and makes him much less tanky.
* Razor can chase Tidehunter by himself without relying on actual crowd control ability, so the strong dispel from Kraken Shell is less useful.
Lone Druid
* 
Timbersaw: Lone Druid will have a hard time dealing with Timbersaw due to his tankiness and high Armor from 
Reactive Armor
Tidehunter
* Infernal Blade deals scaling damage and is useful against high HP targets such as Tidehunter.
* 
Doom prevents Tidehunter from casting his Gush, Anchor Smash and Ravage, making him useless in team fights.
* If Doom chooses the Level 25 talent {ValueColor:1|Doom applies Break|25tal} {Symbol:Talent}, he can also disable Kraken Shell, reducing his survivability.
Lone Druid
* Besides Lone Druid and Meepo, Doom is potentially good versus every hero since Doom will render any hero helpless for up to 16 seconds. This is particularly true for fragile heroes that heavily rely on mobility to stay alive.
Lone Druid
* Lone Druid is essentially two heroes. Dooming one over the other still leaves Lone Druid or his bear able to do their job during a fight. Additionally, Lone Druid is not hindered as much as other heroes by the silence and mute of Doom since the hero relies more on attacks than abilities.
Additional:
* Doom will be very hestitant to use Doom on the Spirit Bear, and using it on Lone Druid himself will not stop the bear from attacking him especially if True Form has already been used.
* 
Devour does not work on the Spirit Bear and pushes the lane so Lone Druid can safely farm under tower.
Lone Druid
* Morphling can ignore Spirit Bear and shorten the distance to Lone Druid with Waveform.
* Morphling can use his nukes to burst Lone Druid down, provided he is not rooted/disabled by Spirit Bear beforehand.
Lone Druid
* Heroes who just want to farm and avoid Lone Druid early will find it very hard to do so when he starts knocking on towers: 
Templar Assassin, 
Phantom Assassin, 
Ember Spirit, 
Morphling.
Lone Druid
* 
Mystic Flare can be used to effectively ignore the Spirit Bear entirely and burst Lone Druid during the early mid game.
* 
Concussive Shot and 
Arcane Bolt will provide vision of Lone Druid allowing for better chase in teamfights before the Spirit Bear can do too much damage.
* 
Ancient Seal denies the ability to transform into True Form and receive bonus HP from the skill.
Lone Druid
* Skywrath Mage also has a terrible time fighting against anything that isn't a hero. His skills are mostly target-based and he has terrible strength and agility, he can easily be kited or harassed by illusion-based heroes like 
Chaos Knight and 
Phantom Lancer, or by Heroes that summon other units like Lone Druid, 
Lycan and 
Beastmaster.
Tidehunter
* Luna often builds Black King Bar, and none of Tidehunter's spells can bypass spell immunity.
* Though Anchor Smash can weaken Luna's physical damage, it does not weaken her magical damage, which means that 
Lucent Beam and 
Eclipse deal a lot of magic damage in the early and mid-game, which can bypass Tidehunter's Kraken Shell.
Additional:
* Luna often builds Black King Bar, and none of Tidehunter's spells can bypass spell immunity.
* Though Anchor Smash can weaken Luna's physical damage, it does not weaken her magical damage, which means that Lucent Beam and Eclipse deal a lot of magic damage in the early and mid-game, which can bypass Tidehunter's Kraken Shell.
Lone Druid
* Illusions and summons are double-edge sword type of matchup for Luna. On one hand, they can tank damage from Eclipse, but on the other hand, she can easily clear them before Eclipse with Moon Glaives. Examples include 
Spectre, 
Shadow Demon, Phantom Lancer, 
Naga Siren, Chaos Knight, 
Terrorblade) or bring other units into the fight (such as 
Nature's Prophet, Lone Druid, 
Chen, 
Enchantress, Meepo and Arc Warden).
Tidehunter
* Heroes that rely on base damage: 
Luna, Phantom Lancer are easily countered with Anchor Smash.
Lone Druid
* Heroes that create illusions: Spectre, Shadow Demon, Phantom Lancer, Naga Siren, Chaos Knight, Terrorblade) or bring other units into the fight (such as Nature's Prophet, Lone Druid, Chen, Enchantress, Meepo and Arc Warden) can cause Eclipse to strike the illusions/summons unintentionally. However, in many cases Moon Glaives can resolve this issue and eliminate them before activating Eclipse, but that will require lots of farming for right-click items.
Tidehunter
* Most summons and illusions can barely hurt Tidehunter at all, after their attacks get reduced by Anchor Smash and blocked by Kraken Shell: Nature's Prophet, 
Enigma
* Also Ravage's large area of effect and damage can easily damage all those units at once, or just straight up clear them.
Lone Druid
* Once caught in Bear's Entangle, Nature's Prophet cannot escape with 
Teleportation.
Tidehunter
* Gush can make Crystal Maiden's already weak armor even weaker.
* Kraken Shell can dispel Frostbite, preventing him from getting stuck inside Freezing Field.
* Ravage is very useful for interrupting Freezing Field, even while Crystal Maiden is under the effects of 
Glimmer Cape. Crystal Maiden must purchase a Black King Bar, which is far more costly.
Lone Druid
* Lone Druid's early game is good against slow, squishy supports since his bear is very strong early game and an Entangling Claws proc almost always guarantees a kill: 
Ancient Apparition, 
Crystal Maiden, 
Shadow Shaman, etc.
Tidehunter
* Heroes such as Lone Druid, Tidehunter and 
Viper can be very problematic for Phantom Assassin because they give her very little time to farm and become scary.
Lone Druid
* Heroes who just want to farm and avoid Lone Druid early will find it very hard to do so when he starts knocking on towers: Templar Assassin, Phantom Assassin, Ember Spirit, Morphling.
Tidehunter
* Kraken Shell can dispel Flaming Lasso.
* If Batrider drags Tidehunter back towards his team, it can be setup for a well placed Ravage.
Additional:
* Kraken Shell is very useful against 
Sticky Napalm and 
Flamebreak, easily dispelling them regularly.
* Tidehunter is probably the worst hero to target with 
Flaming Lasso, as Kraken Shell will remove it and Tidehunter often survives long enough to cast Ravage in the middle of Batrider's team. At the same time, if Batrider initiates on his teammate, Tidehunter will have the perfect opportunity to counter-initiate.
Tidehunter
* Kraken Shell easily dispels the lengthy stun from 
Shackleshot.
* Kraken Shell (and possibly Anchor Smash) blocks huge amount of damage from 
Focus Fire.
* Anchor Smash is one of the few sources of True Strike, which means Tidehunter can deal significant damage through 
Windrun, while also reducing Windranger's damage output.
Additional:
* Kraken Shell can easily dispel Shackleshot after he has taken a certain threshold of damage.
* Ravage provides excellent lockdown against Windranger, allowing his teammates to kite her throughout the game.
* When Tidehunter has 
Aghanim's Shard, he will gain access to 
Dead in the Water, allowing him to lock down Windranger at any time. When Windranger tries to move away from the anchor with Windrun, she will be effectively slowed, preventing her from escaping.
Lone Druid
* True Form gives Lone Druid a huge amount of health that no amount of 
Ball Lightning will chip through.
* 
Entangling Claws can mean a very quick end to the Storm Spirit as it prevents him from using Ball Lightning all together.
* Storm Spirit is a single target nuker, with the Shard Lone Druid can always fear him away from himself or the bear, defending the target he does not go on. This is assuming he cannot try and proc his entangle or a potential 
Skull Basher.
Tidehunter
* Kraken Shell dispels both Shadowraze's damage amplification stacks and Requiem of Soul's damage reduction (provided Tidehunter has taken enough damage).
* Ravage cancels Requiem of Souls if Shadow Fiend isn't protected by Black King Bar.
Additional:
* Kraken Shell dispels the damage amplification stacks of 
Shadowraze as well as the damage reduction from 
Requiem of Souls (provided he has taken enough damage).
* Anchor Smash reduces Shadow Fiend's large attack damage, Kraken Shell makes Tidehunter the last target Shadow Fiend wants to attack.
* Ravage can easily cancel Requiem of Souls if Shadow Fiend isn't protected by Black King Bar.
Tidehunter
* Ravage, being an AoE disable, cancels Epicenter's channeling from a long range, limiting his potential to counter-initiate.
* This can be remedied, however, by first using a Black King Bar, then channel Epicenter, then finally initiate with Blink Dagger.
Lone Druid
* Lone Druid becomes unkillable and impenetrable for Ember Spirit on the central line, as it has a huge reserve of health from the Summon Spirit Bear and a large regeneration from Spirit Link, which is why 
Sleight of Fist practically does not break through either one or the other on the line, and Lone Druid at this time can easily expel Ember Spirit from the line, push and gain gold and level
* Entangling Claws and 
Savage Roar abilities completely disable Ember Spirit's ability to dodge abilities or get out of an unpleasant fight for him on 
Fire Remnant, which can give the Lone Druid team the opportunity to kill him

* Entangling Claws and Savage Roar abilities completely disable Ember Spirit's ability to dodge abilities or get out of an unpleasant fight for him on Fire Remnant, which can give the Lone Druid team the opportunity to kill him
Tidehunter
* Kraken Shell dispels 
Dual Breath, 
Ice Path, 
Liquid Frost, 
Liquid Fire and even 
Macropyre's Burn.
* It also completely negates the damage from Liquid Fire and Ice path, while heavily reducing the damage from all of his other abilities
* Jakiro is a naturally slow hero, Gush will allow you to easily catch him, while also reducing his Armor
Tidehunter
* Kraken Shell can dispel Dismember after reaching a certain threshold of damage.
* Tidehunter's naturally high health, strength gain, and common itemization for survivability through magic resistance makes Tidehunter a poor target.
Lone Druid
* Because of his weak laning phase, Lone Druid absolutely overpowers him in the early to mid game. Lone Druid also directly counters most of his abilities.
* 
Flux is nullified when the Spirit Bear is nearby.
* 
Spark Wraith can get soaked by the bear.
* Lone Druid can easily go inside 
Magnetic Field and punish Zet.
Tidehunter
* Tidehunter is a core builder of Pipe of Insight. Along with natural high health pool, it's tough to burst the Leviathan down.
* Kraken Shell thwarts long disables attempts if Tidehunter receives enough damage.
* Gush and Ravage long cast and reach ranges will effortlessly hit 
Lion, either bursting him down or making him extremely vulnerable and worn in matter of seconds.
Lone Druid
* Alchemist likes to farm fast and be ahead, unfortunately Lone Druid likes to do the same by taking towers.
* 
Acid Spray will never prove a threat to Lone Druid or his Spirit Bear.
* 
Chemical Rage may not prove so useful once Lone Druid procs entangled keeping him in place.
* 
Monkey King Bar is a very good choice on Lone Druid's Spirit Bear and it directly counters any potential Radiance from Alchemist.
* 
Assault Cuirass is another very good Spirit Bear item that further makes Alchemist vulnerable to physical damage, which is all Lone Druid does.
* Alchemist is not the kind of hero who wants to go on single target summon units, by the time he has killed the Spirit Bear his teammates might had already been slayed by his teammates. Not to mention Lone Druid can just resummon it, even if he is successful.
Lone Druid
* 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
Additional:
* 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 Puck's magical abilities almost 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 him to catch Puck when it releases the Illusory Orb, since Puck will not be able to apply Ethereal Jaunt during the root.
Tidehunter
* Tidehunter's Anchor Smash will cripple all of Enigma's Eidolons, and at a higher level, Tidehunter will be capable to instantly kill the whole group of them for a boost of gold.
* Kraken Shell negates Eidolons's damage and Enigma's auto attacks, making laning against Tidehunter nearly impossible for Enigma.
* Ravage has an insane radius, and considering that Enigma is prone to waiting around for a Blink Dagger and Black King Bar combo, Ravage's stun may catch Enigma off guard and put Blink Dagger on cooldown, limiting him a crucial teamfight time.
Lone Druid
* Lone Druid has a very large reserve of health against Invoker abilities, this allows him to survive a large number of attacks from Invoker and kill him, also Entangling Claws reveal invisibility from 
Ghost Walk, which allows the Lone Druid team to catch the popular QW-Invoker
Additional:
* Lone Druid has a very large reserve of health against Invoker abilities, this allows him to survive a large number of attacks from Invoker and kill him, also Entangling Claws reveal invisibility from Ghost Walk, which allows the Lone Druid team to catch the popular QW-Invoker
Tidehunter
* Kraken Shell dispels Fiend's Grip, wasting it easily. Additionally, in late game, it secures premature dispell of a level 4 Nightmare, in case of continuous Bane's rightclicks.
* Enfeeble only reduces distance of Gush, but not of Anchor Smash or Ravage, and thanks again to Kraken Shell, is easily dispellable for him in team fights.
* Ravage affects large area, effectively reaching Bane's spot for applying Fiend's Grip, even with Glimmer Cape, Aether Lens and/or Aghanim's Scepter.
Additional:
* Kraken Shell dispels 
Fiend's Grip, wasting it easily.
Tidehunter
* Kraken Shell grants him massive physical attack protection
* Anchor Smash will wipe the area, clearing Lycan's wolves.
Tidehunter
* Kraken Shell makes Tidehunter take nearly no damage from Spiderlings.
* Anchor Smash kills Spiderlings in one or two casts, should Broodmother try to swarm Tidehunter with them.
Lone Druid
* Savage Roar interrupts 
Starbreaker.
* Dawnbreaker is a slow moving hero. Although tanky, Lone Druid can eventually wear her down with his better movement speed.
Tidehunter
* Tidehunter takes close to no damage from Undying's zombies once he maxes out his Kraken Shell, especially if he gets the level 20 Kraken Shell upgrading talent. This might allow him to blink away to safety.
Tidehunter
* Vengeful Spirit should carefully consider whether to use her Nether Swap on Tidehunter, as it can easily position him for a Ravage on Vengeful Spirit and her allies.
* Due to Magic Missile's high damage, Kraken Shell will often proc and clear Tidehunter's debuffs.
Tidehunter
* Visage's Familiars cannot penetrate Kraken Shell and will do almost no damage to Tidehunter even with 
Medallion of Courage or 
Solar Crest.
* Anchor Smash's bonus damage has the potential to kill Familiars.
Tidehunter
* 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.
Lone Druid
* Nukers who have set amounts of damage will really struggle against Lone Druid especially in True Form: 
Puck, 
Void Spirit, Mars.
Lone Druid
* Heroes who can fight back easily are not ideal matchups for Sven, such as Troll Warlord as mentioned above, Lone Druid and Templar Assassin.
Lone Druid
* Chaos Knight, Lone Druid, Meepo and Arc Warden can be hard targets since Shadow Demon's spells are ill-suited to fight many enemies at once.
Lone Druid
* Nukers who have set amounts of damage will really struggle against Lone Druid especially in True Form: Puck, Void Spirit, Mars.
Tidehunter
* Durable heroes: 
Axe, Dawnbreaker, 
Bristleback, Mars, Omniknight, Tidehunter, Wraith King, 
Primal Beast, Underlord.
Tidehunter
* 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.
Tidehunter
* Tidehunter's Kraken Shell dispels Corrosive Haze and Bash of the Deep's stun if enough damage is taken. Anchor Smash and Kraken Shell's damage block also reduces Slardar's damage.
Tidehunter
* Tidehunter with Kraken Shell when damage received reaches the threshold.
* Heroes that can remove the Track debuff with their skills:
* 
Abaddon with 
Aphotic Shield and 
Borrowed Time
* Huskar with 
Life Break
* 
Juggernaut with 
Blade Fury
* Legion Commander with 
Press the Attack
* 
Lifestealer with 
Rage and 
Infest
* Naga Siren with 
Mirror Image
* Omniknight with 
Heavenly Grace
* Oracle with 
Fortune's End and 
False Promise
* Phantom Lancer with 
Doppelganger
* 
Slark with Dark Pact
* Ursa with Enrage
* 
Weaver with 
Time Lapse
* Tidehunter with Kraken Shell when damage received reaches the threshold.
Tidehunter
* Other heroes who has armor and slow debuffs won't allow Medusa to disengage from combat: Tidehunter, Bristleback, 
Slardar.
Lone Druid
* Heroes who just want to farm and avoid Lone Druid early will find it very hard to do so when he starts knocking on towers: Templar Assassin, Phantom Assassin, Ember Spirit, Morphling.
Lone Druid
* Lone Druid's early game is good against slow, squishy supports since his bear is very strong early game and an Entangling Claws proc almost always guarantees a kill: Ancient Apparition, Crystal Maiden, Shadow Shaman, etc.
Lone Druid
* Lone Druid's early game is good against slow, squishy supports since his bear is very strong early game and an Entangling Claws proc almost always guarantees a kill: Ancient Apparition, Crystal Maiden, Shadow Shaman, etc.
Tidehunter
* Heroes who can stun multiple units at once: 
Dark Willow, 
Spirit Breaker, Slardar, Invoker, and Tidehunter.
Tidehunter
* Heroes with low mana pools (eg.Doom andTidehunter) will feel the effects of Silencer's Intelligence Steal far more than others.
Lone Druid
* Silencer's disables are useless on Lone Druid since he is more reliant on physical attacks rather than spells.
* Silencer has poor mobility so Lone Druid can run him down.
* Lone Druid's Shard will remove most of Silencer's spells once used.
Lone Druid
* Lone Druid and his Spirit Bear lack mobility, and are easy overwhelmed after being slowed by 
Diffusal Blade.
* Savage Roar is useless since Phantom Lancer can return to fight him again with his 
Phantom Rush.
Tidehunter
* Kraken Shell and Anchor Smash makes it very difficult for Phantom Lancer's illusions to deal damage to Tidehunter.
* Ravage will stun the real Phantom Lancer while clearing most of his illusions.
* Anchor Smash reduces base damage, which is the majority of Phantom Lancer's auto-attack damage.
* An Aghanim's Scepter upgraded Gush slows down and reduces all of Phantom Lancer's illusions.
Additional:
* A dozen of Phantom Lancer's illusions with all their might can barely hurt Tidehunter at all thanks to Kraken Shell and Anchor Smash. The only way Phantom Lancer can hurt Tidehunter is through the mana burn provided by Diffusal Blade.
* Even with high chasing power from 
Spirit Lance and Phantom Rush (and even Diffusal Blade), Tide Hunter can shrug it all off with Kraken Shell and escape by using a 
Town Portal Scroll or just moving away.
* The AoE nukes from Ravage, Anchor Smash, and an Aghanim's Scepter-upgraded Gush can clear Phantom Lancer's illusions easily.
Lone Druid
* Reality Rift lets Chaos Knight bypass the Spirit Bear and jump onto Lone Druid.
* The Spirit Bear's lack of scaling means it dies quickly to Chaos Knight during the late-game.
Tidehunter
* Ravage damages and disables Chaos Knight and his illusions.
* Anchor Smash deals respectable area damage, especially to Phantasms and lowers Chaos Knight's damage output.
* Kraken Shell dispels Chaos Bolt and Reality Rift while providing protection from damage.
Lone Druid
* 
Riki: 
Smoke Screen can prevent Lone Druid from using True Form and Savage Roar, additionally it cause the spirit bear to miss on attacks which reduce the chances of getting rooted from it, with diffusal Blade, he can keep Lone Druid or the Spirit Bear inside the Smoke.
Tidehunter
* Riki doesn't deal burst damage.Durable heroes (Axe, Tidehunter etc.) will usually survive a jump from him,move out of Smoke Screen and potentially retaliate.
Lone Druid
* Paralyzing Cask is likely to bounce between him and his bear every single time.
* Lone Druid's lack of mobility makes him vulnerable to Death Ward and Maledict.
Tidehunter
* Kraken Shell dispels the stun from Paralyzing Cask. However, it does not dispel the damage from Maledict.
* Once Witch Doctor first uses his Death Ward in team fights, Tidehunter can simply cancel it with Ravage, turning the tables against him, especially if Witch Doctor does not have a Black King Bar.
* As a precaution, Witch Doctor should let Tidehunter use Ravage first before channeling Death Ward to turn a team fight in his favor.
Tidehunter
* Kraken Shell provides no protection against 
Omnislash or 
Swiftslash.
* If timed correctly, Omnislash, Swiftslash and Blade Fury are all capable of dodging Ravage, giving Juggernaut several tools to render your strongest ability moot.
* Blade Fury is an effective way to harass Tidehunter in the laning stage as Tidehunter has no means of getting Juggernaut away from him. 
Healing Ward also greatly minimizes Tidehunter's ability to harass Juggernaut.
* 
Blade Dance minimizes the effectiveness of Anchor Smash's damage reduction.
Lone Druid
* Omnislash spreads on both the bear and the druid, allowing them to survive.With enough levels,the bear can soak the ability alone and possibly dragging him to a dangerous location.
* Juggernaut cannot manfight the duo in the early game,because of their tankiness. If opposed in lane,Lone Druid can shut him down.
Tidehunter
* Kraken Shell's dispel does not restore mana lost through
Astral Imprisonment, and the stolen mana can really hurt Tidehunter's ability to initiate
Arcane Orb high pure damage ignores Tidehunter's Armor, and is barely affected by his Kraken Shell's damage block
Sanity's Eclipse is effective on Tidehunter's poor mana pool, While it is reduced by Kraken Shell, the damage reduction is negligible.
*
* It is also completely unaffected by Anchor Smash, due to it relying on Outworlds Mana pool
*
Lone Druid
*
Arcane Orb deals heavy damage to both Lone Druid and the Spirit Bear.
Astral Imprisonment can prevent the Spirit Bear from attacking, which is Lone Druid's main damage output.
Sanity's Eclipse deals heavy damage to Lone Druid.
