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.
Centaur Warrunner
* With high health and rarely buying 
Linken's Sphere or 
Black King Bar, Centaur Warrunner is a good target for Reaper's Scythe. However, Centaur Warrunner can resolve this problem by buying 
Hood of Defiance and it's upgrade 
Pipe of Insight to diminish its damage.
* Heartstopper Aura will do well against high health heroes such as Centaur Warrunner.
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.

Centaur Warrunner
* Luna's Moon Glaives will not trigger 
Retaliate if they hit some other target first. Also Luna commonly buys items that provide lifesteal such as 
Satanic, which lets her heal from the damage of Retaliate, meaning that Retaliate has little effect against her.
* Eclipse can be used to counter-initiate against Centaur Warrunner after he jumps in with 
Blink Dagger, and initiates with 
Hoof Stomp. But remember that Centaur Warrunner can resolve this problem by buying Hood of Defiance and it's upgrade Pipe of Insight to diminish its damage. Or Blade Mail to reflect the damage of the Eclipse back at Luna.
* Luna also commonly buys Black King Bar, which will allow her to protect herself from both, Centaur Warrunner's abilities (except for the Retaliate), and damage reflect from Blade Mail.

Centaur Warrunner
* 
Kinetic Field and 
Glimpse can completely negate Stampede.
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
* 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.
Centaur Warrunner
* 
Battery Assault easily interrupts Centaur Warrunner due to his poor cast animation.
* 
Power Cogs can negate Stampede.
Centaur Warrunner
* Centaur has nothing to deal with 
Refraction that will negate all of his burst damage.
* 
Psionic Traps provide good vision, making for him harder to initiate.
Undying
* Zombies summoned from Tombstone will amplify the damage of 
Echo Slam due to them increasing the echo damage.
Undying
* Split Shot can destroy Tombstone Zombies and Tombstone itself while still damaging heroes.
Undying
* Chemical Rage will take down 
Tombstone in no time.
Additional:
* With 
Greevil's Greed, Alchemist can farm Tombstone zombies and gain a significant gold advantage.
Centaur Warrunner
* 
X Marks the Spot negates Stampede.
Undying
* Geminate Attack works on Tombstone, allowing Weaver to kill it quickly.
* Zombies attacking Weaver disappear once he goes invisible with Shukuchi.
* Undying has no way to catch a mobile Weaver.
Undying
* Flak Cannon rips through Tombstone's zombies.
Additional:
* 
Flak Cannon enables Gyrocopter to clear the zombies easily.
Undying
* 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.
Additional:
* All abilities from Undying easy to steal to Rubick with 
Spell Steal.
Undying
* 
Meepo can quickly destroy Tombstone thanks to 
Divided We Stand.
Undying
* 
Huskar's huge damage output and attack speed can get rid of Undying and Tombstone quickly.
Undying
* 
Invoker's multiple spells can lock down Undying and disable him from doing much.
Undying
* 
Mirana can destroy Tombstone, and evade zombies using Leap and Moonlight Shadow's invisibility.
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
* Heroes with summons that are destroyed by a fixed number of attacks: Undying's Tombstone, 
Gyrocopter's 
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
* Heroes without blink mechanisms or spell immunity will have a hard time positioning against 
Pit of Malice: 
Sven, 
Tiny, 
Wraith King, 
Dragon Knight, Meepo, 
Doom, 
Bounty Hunter, 
Dark Seer, Undying, 
Alchemist, 
Legion Commander.
Undying
* Tombstone's zombies rarely inhibit Anti-Mage, as he can either Blink away or onto the Tombstone and destroy it.
Centaur Warrunner
* 
Anti-Mage's 
Mana Void won't do a lot of damage because Centaur has a low mana pool. 
Mana Break is also relatively ineffective against him.
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.
Centaur Warrunner
* 
Troll Warlord's high speed attack makes Retaliate deal a lot of damage to him.
Undying
* Heroes with a slow attack rate will find themselves struggling to take out Tombstone, like Doom.
Centaur Warrunner
* Whenever Doom casts his ultimate, Centaur Warrunner can cast Stampede and allow the 
Doomed hero to run away, wasting Doom's ultimate.
Additional:
* 
Stampede can be used to free an ally from the grasp of Doom. Without any means of effective lockdown, kills can be difficult to secure when against an enemy Centaur Warrunner. Also, Centaur's tendency to have lots of health and HP regen tend to help counter Doom.
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.
Centaur Warrunner
* Heroes who thrive on teamfights can be a problem, such as 
Venomancer, 
Necrophos, 
Centaur Warrunner...
Centaur Warrunner
* Hoof Stomp and 
Double Edge can often burst down Phantom Assassin from early to mid game.
* Retaliate makes it very unlikely for Phantom Assassin to win the lane against Warrunner. Double Edge can also be used to wear her down, as she has a much smaller health pool than that of Centaur Warrunner until purchasing a 
Ring of Health. 
Stifling Dagger will also trigger Retaliate and 
Blur cannot evade Retaliate.
* Centaur Warrunner's tankiness in combination with armour items that Axe often purchases like Blade Mail, 
Crimson Guard, 
Assault Cuirass and 
Shiva's Guard can make Phantom Assassin's attacks only tickle Centaur Warrunner.
* Centaur Warrunner just has to be careful about 
Fan of Knives from 
Aghanim's Shard and 
Coup De Grace, as Fan of Knives can disable Retaliate even if Centaur Warrunner is spell immune.
Additional:
* Hoof Stomp and Double Edge can often burst down Phantom Assassin from early to mid game.

Double Edge can also be used to wear her down, as she has a much smaller health pool than that of Centaur Warrunner until purchasing a Ring of Health.

* Centaur Warrunner just has to be careful about Fan of Knives from Aghanim's Shard and Coup De Grace, as Fan of Knives can disable Retaliate even if Centaur Warrunner is spell immune.
Centaur Warrunner
* 
Focus Fire grants Windranger a massive attack speed bonus, while her attack damage is generally quite low. This, combined with Windranger's low health pool and armor, makes Retaliate do absolutely massive damage over a short time, making Centaur a hero she can never expect to kill or harass.
* 
Windrun grants evasion, but Centaur Warrunner does not rely on successful attacks in order to do damage. Hoof Stomp, Double Edge, and Stampede all do large amounts of magical damage and can completely demolish Windranger in a moment.
Additional:
* Stampede can help his teammates escape from Windrun and Focus Fire.
* Retaliate will shred through Windranger's health if she chooses to attack him during Focus Fire.
Centaur Warrunner
* Pangolier will proc Retaliate several times if he attempts to use 
Swashbuckle on Centaur Warrunner.
* Centaur can cast Stampede to allow all of his allies to easily avoid 
Rolling Thunder.
* Centaur's tankiness makes it hard for Pangolier to burst him down in the late game.
Additional:
* When Swashbuckle hits Centaur Warrunner, Retaliate will deal significant damage, as it procs off every strike made.
* Stampede helps allies avoid or disengage from Pangolier during Rolling Thunder, as well as neutralizing the slow debuff from Lucky Shot.
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 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
Centaur Warrunner
* Centaur can use Stampede to break Static Link. It also prevents Razor from chasing Centaur Warruner or his teammates with Eye of the Storm, and Plasma Field's slow will do nothing to slow them down.
Centaur Warrunner
* Stampede can allow Soulbinded heroes to just ran away.
Centaur Warrunner
* A good Centaur can catch Queen of Pain with a Blink Dagger and Hoof Stomp.
* Retaliate with Blade Mail reflects all of Queen of Pain's damage, especially Sonic Wave.
* Stampede grants a movement speed bonus, which can prevent Queen of Pain from initiating.
* Double Edge can shred her low health pool if she's not careful.
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.
Centaur Warrunner
* Arc Warden cannot take Centaur Warrunner very easily, and his nukes are not strong enough to deal with Centaur Warrunner.
* Centaur Warrunner deals huge AoE damage and applies an AoE disable through Hoof Stomp, affecting the double as well the main Arc Warden.
* 
Magnetic Field is not very effective against melee heroes. And to make things worse, Magnetic Field also increases Arc Warden and his allies's attack speed, meaning Retaliate will deal more damage.
* Stampede catches Arc Warden easily due to his lack of escape mechanisms. However, Arc Warden can counter this problem with 
Gleipnir, which is a common item on Arc Warden.
Undying
* Due to Spirit Breaker's low attack speed, Tombstone is problematic for Spirit Breaker as 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 and recover from any incoming ganks by Spirit Breaker.
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
* 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.
Centaur Warrunner
* Centaur's low Intelligence makes 
Mind Flare do low damage.
* With some creative skill builds, Centaur's Hoof Stomp stun duration should always last longer than 
Spiked Carapace stun, so escaping unscathed is hard for Nyx.
* With Blink Dagger and detection, Centaur can devastate Nyx in the open.
* However, bear in mind that Nyx can also easily initiate on Centaur Warrunner as well if he uses Spiked Carapace in anticipation, and with 
Vendetta. The damage from Retaliate will be reflected back to Centaur Warrunner, stunning him with no chance to react after he's revealed himself, and should guarantee a successful 
Impale.
Centaur Warrunner
* Heroes with haste can negate Enchant's slow: 
Weaver, Dark Seer, Lycan, Centaur Warrunner.
Centaur Warrunner
* Heroes who are reliant on illusions: 
Chaos Knight, 
Phantom Lancer, 
Naga Siren.
Additional:
* Centaur's Retaliate will harm all attacking enemies, which will allow Centaur Warrunner to see which is the real Naga Siren.
* A well timed Hoof Stomp followed by Double Edge will clear all Naga's illusions and prevent Naga Siren from escaping with 
Song of the Siren.
Centaur Warrunner
* Heroes that can keep Monkey King stunned for a long time can pose a threat: 
Axe, Centaur Warrunner.
Centaur Warrunner
* Durable heroes can stand against Tusk during 1v1: Axe, Dragon Knight, 
Night Stalker, Centaur Warrunner, Wraith King and more.
Undying
* Generally, any fragile heroes will have a hard time dealing with Undying's tankiness, and even more so if Decay is used on them. Some examples are 
Crystal Maiden and 
Witch Doctor.
Centaur Warrunner
* Heroes that can stop Faceless Void from leaping around the fight and controlling its outcome are very strong against him. Heroes such as: Axe, Centaur Warrunner, Doom...
Undying
* Anti-Tank heroes like: 
Razor, Necrophos, Undying.
Undying
* Generally, any fragile heroes will have a hard time dealing with Undying's tankiness, and even more so if Decay is used on them. Some examples are Crystal Maiden and Witch Doctor.
Centaur Warrunner
* 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.
Centaur Warrunner
* Night Stalker is all about right-clicks. His nuke, 
Void is also not that threatning once you have Hood of Defiance, your core item.
Centaur Warrunner
* Axe, 
Bristleback, Centaur Warrunner, 
Spirit Breaker, 
Pudge, Huskar, Wraith King, Doom: These heroes are too tanky for Puck to burst down. Also, all of them have spells which can deal with and shut Puck down reliably.
Centaur Warrunner
* Heroes who have low or high armor but very high health will be difficult for drow to burst down quickly: 
Primal Beast, Axe, Centaur Warrunner.
Centaur Warrunner
* Heroes that are hard to gank: Axe, Death Prophet, Phantom Lancer, 
Slark, Centaur Warrunner, Bristleback, 
Medusa, 
Mars.
Centaur Warrunner
* 
Winter Wyvern's 
Arctic Burn can also be a useful tool against Centaur, who generally has very high health. 
Winter's Curse on Centaur can cause Retaliate to damage allies who are forced to attack him.
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
* 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.
Centaur Warrunner
* Centaur Warrunner's passive Retaliate makes it so that the familiars cannot attack him without damaging themselves over time, in turn causing them to be destroyed.
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.
Centaur Warrunner
* His illusions will kill themselves in a few hits because of Retaliate. The nukes from Hoof Stomp and Double-Edge should be enough to clear them for a large portion of the game
* Centaur Warrunner's small mana pool makes 
Diffusal Blade's damage much lower once Centaur doesn't have any more mana left to burn. Keep in mind that Double Edge does not cost mana.
* Be wary when chasing down Phantom Lancer. Hoof Stomp's terrible cast time makes it quite easy to dodge with 
Doppelganger.
Additional:
* Hoof Stomp and Double Edge makes short work of Phantom Lancer's illusions.
* Retaliate together with Blade Mail reflects Phanton Lancer's damage and quickly destroys his illusions.
Undying
* Sniper can easily destroy Tombstone from long range.
Centaur Warrunner
* 
Headshot and 
Shrapnel slow is ineffective against a team with haste (which Stampede gives).
* Commonly picked up mobility items and hasted movement during his Stampede (as well as his high health pool) make him extremely hard to kill from a distance, damaging 
Sniper with Retaliate and Blade Mail if he has one.
* A low health pool and no escape mechanism makes him an easy target for Centaur Warrunner's burst damage and initiation (even making his team possible initiators with Stampede).
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.
Centaur Warrunner
* Heroes who are reliant on illusions: Chaos Knight, Phantom Lancer, Naga Siren.
Undying
* 
Terrorblade can destroy Tombstone with his 
Conjure Image and 
Metamorphosis.
Centaur Warrunner
* As Terrorblade's damage output comes mainly from direct attacks, he will struggle greatly against heroes who have abilities that give evasion, trigger on attack or which can disarm an enemy hero: Centaur Warrunner, 
Hoodwink, Huskar, Invoker, 
Leshrac with 
Nihilism from 
Aghanim's Scepter, 
Lifestealer with Aghanim's Scepter upgraded 
Infest, 
Pangolier, 
Phantom Assassin, 
Pugna, 
Techies, 
Windranger etc.
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.
Centaur Warrunner
*
Feast is an effective tool against Centaur Warrunner, who generally has high health and low armor, and compensates the reflected damage of Retaliate.
Rage can protect Lifestealer from Hoof Stomp, Double Edge, and Stampede.
Hoof Stomp's slow wind up can also be anticipated and negated with Rage.
Retaliate's damage return simply with Feast. Centaur's high strength gain and therefore big health pool makes him an ideal target to Feast on, especially in the late-game.
* If activated,
Additional:
* Centaur Warrunner's active abilities cannot pierce magic immunity.
* Lifestealer can offset
