Undying
* Due to Fervor and Battle Trance, Troll Warlord has a significant attack speed, enabling him to crush 
Tombstone quickly.
* Undying usually stays at the front line with no disables, making him an easy target for Troll Warlord.
Undying
* Zombies summoned from Tombstone will amplify the damage of 
Echo Slam due to them increasing the echo damage.
Undying
* Flak Cannon rips through Tombstone's zombies.
Additional:
* 
Flak Cannon enables Gyrocopter to clear the zombies easily.
Undying
* Necrophos is a dangerous opponent to go against with. Regardless of how much strength Undying has gained from Decay, Necrophos can finish off Undying with 
Reaper's Scythe once Undying's HP falls below a certain threshold.
* 
Heartstopper Aura will do more damage to Undying if he gained strength from Decay, as it does damage based on a hero's maximum health.
Undying
* 
Arcane Curse can effectively discourage Undying from casting his spammable abilities in a team fight, as Undying will have to suffer more damage and the slow due to the penalty duration of Arcane Curse.
* 
Last Word and 
Global Silence are able to silence Undying for up to 6 seconds, preventing Undying from gaining strength and healing his ally or himself.
Undying

Undying
* Lifestealer is able to endure Undying, especially in the laning phase, where Undying is strongest. Feast can offset 
Decay's strength steal for its percentage lifesteal. Rage delays Undying from stealing strength and can help Lifestealer destroy Undying's Tombstone uninterrupted. As well, none of Undying's abilities pierce magic immunity.
Undying
* Sniper can easily destroy Tombstone from long range.
Undying
* Tombstone's zombies rarely inhibit Anti-Mage, as he can either Blink away or onto the Tombstone and destroy it.
Undying

Kraken Shell, especially if he gets the level 20 Kraken Shell upgrading talent. This might allow him to blink away to safety.
Undying
* Luna's 
Moon Glaives and 
Lunar Blessing can help her destroy Tombstone easily, and this becomes more effective if Luna is equipped with 
Manta Style.
* Spell Immunity of Zombies from Tombstone is a total disadvantage against Luna because 
Eclipse will strike only Undying, which can turn Undying's own ability against him.
* Though Undying often builds 
Blade Mail which can turn Luna's burst damage against her, Luna often builds 
Black King Bar which will allow her to attack Undying freely because Blade Mail cannot pierce spell immunity.

* Spell Immunity of Zombies from Tombstone is a total disadvantage against Luna because Eclipse will strike only Undying, which can turn Undying's own ability against him.

Undying
* All abilities from Undying easy to steal to Rubick with 
Spell Steal.
Additional:
* Tombstone can be stolen to counter-initiate the enemy team in skirmishes.
* Tombstone provides vision over the enemy around, use this to Rubick's advantage for more spells.
* Since 
Undying is melee and has low attack speed, the tombstone can be hard to taken down by Undying himself.
* 
Flesh Golem provides Rubick with increased Health pool and a powerful attack modifier.
* 
Rubick can apply the Flesh Golem debuff much more easily as a ranged hero.
* Decay is a decent damaging ability, making Rubick somewhat tankier in teamfights.
* 
Soul Rip can be used for extra heal or burst damage.
Undying
* 
Invoker's multiple spells can lock down Undying and disable him from doing much.
Undying
* Familiars will easily be able to kite heroes with a short range or with low attack speed. For example, 
Tiny and Undying have a very hard time killing Familiars.
Undying
* 
Chaos Knight's multiple illusions from 
Phantasm can destroy Undying, as Soul Rip can't offset the damage from the high amount of damage from his illusions.
Undying
* 
Huskar's huge damage output and attack speed can get rid of Undying and Tombstone quickly.
Undying
* 
Meepo can quickly destroy Tombstone thanks to 
Divided We Stand.
Undying

Death Prophet is able to 
Silence Undying up to 6 seconds. Besides, due to Undying's high strength during a team fight, 
Spirit Siphon is a powerful ability against Undying thanks to the percentage health drain.
Undying

Sven, Tiny, 
Wraith King, 
Dragon Knight, Meepo, 
Doom, 
Bounty Hunter, 
Dark Seer, Undying, 
Alchemist, 
Legion Commander.
Undying

Homing Missile, and 
Zeus's 
Nimbus.
Undying
* 
Reactive Armor makes Timbersaw very effective against heroes that control a lot of units, such as 
Broodmother, 
Lycan and Undying.
Undying
* Decay, Soul Rip and Flesh Golem all deal magical damage which ignores Bulwark.
* Decay reduces Mars' natural strength and therefore his health pool, which is what he relies on to trade effectively in lane.
Undying
* Undying's Decay is a dangerous ability against Bristleback, as it makes him more vulnerable and reduces his tankiness.
* Undying's Tombstone together with Flesh Golem can slow Bristleback down significantly.
Undying
* Winter Wyvern cannot handle the Zombies created by Undying's Tombstone very well. In most situations, Zombies will have more movement speed than her.
* Undying can gain one or two easy Decay stacks on an ally in Cold Embrace. The ally will still take the damage as well.
Additional:
* Winter Wyvern cannot handle the Zombies created by Tombstone very well. In most situations, Zombies will have more movement speed than her.
* Undying can gain one or two easy Decay stacks on an ally in Cold Embrace. The ally will still take the damage as well, since it is magical.
Undying
* Undying saps strength from heroes with Decay, and Ogre Magi's high strength gain will allow Undying to steal more and more strength, becoming stronger with each use.
* Due to the Strength steal from Decay, Undying is normally very tanky, and has high health, making it harder for Ogre Magi to kill him.
Undying
* Due to Spirit Breaker's low attack speed, Tombstone is problematic for Spirit Breaker.
* The zombies summoned from Tombstone apply a stacking movement speed slow, which can significantly reduce Greater Bash's damage.
* Soul Rip and Decay allows Undying and his allies to survive from incoming ganks of Spirit Breaker.
Undying
* Decay can be good against Centaur Warrunner, as reducing the health of Centaur can make 
Double Edge risky.
* His zombies do not proc 
Retaliate, as it only procs for regular attacks.
Undying
* Spectre must chase for kills and relies on movement speed for mobility in fights, and has no way to counter the Tombstone zombies.
* The potency of Soul Rip can be increased from nearby illusions from Haunt.
* Decay will shut down Spectre during the laning phase by effectively cutting down her initial health pool.
Additional:
* Spectre must chase for kills and relies on movement speed for mobility in fights, and has no way to counter the Tombstone zombies.
* The potency of Soul Rip can be increased from nearby illusions, so Undying can use 
Haunt against Spectre.
* Early game Decay will make Spectre easy to shut down in lane.
Undying
* 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.
Undying
* Undying's Tombstone will cheerfully chew through treants, incidentally netting you some extra income during fights.
* The above interaction tends to ensure that skirmishes are heavily populated with units, thereby buffing Soul Rip
Undying

Crystal Maiden and 
Witch Doctor.

Undying

Razor, 
Necrophos, Undying.

Undying
* Phantom Lancer's many illusions will easily destroy
Tombstone, provided he has sufficient farm.
* He also has no ways of dealing with the illusions, since Decay doesn't steal strength from illusions.
