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.

Visage
* Moon Glaives is very effective against Visage because not only it can easily destroy Visage's Familiars, but can also remove one instance of Gravekeeper's Cloak upon each hit to Visage, leaving him susceptible to damage.
* Once Visage's Familiars are picked off and all instances of Gravekeeper's Cloak are removed, Luna will be able to easily kill Visage with Eclipse.

* Once Visage's Familiars are picked off and all instances of Gravekeeper's Cloak are removed, Luna will be able to easily kill Visage with Eclipse.
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.
Visage

Phantom Rush.
Undying
* Flak Cannon rips through Tombstone's zombies.

* Heroes with long ranged attacks or abilities can harass Visage from afar like 
Phoenix and 
Sniper.
Undying
* 
Reactive Armor makes Timbersaw very effective against heroes that control a lot of units, such as 
Broodmother, 
Lycan and 
Undying.
Visage
* Reactive Armor will quickly stack up from Familiar attacks, making Timbersaw hard to kill.
* Visage's low mobility makes it easy for 
Timbersaw to line up his abilities.
Undying
* 
Meepo can quickly destroy Tombstone thanks to 
Divided We Stand.
Visage
* Heroes that can overwhelm Visage by sheer number like 
Chaos Knight, Meepo, 
Terrorblade and 
Phantom Lancer.
Undying
* 
Huskar's huge damage output and attack speed can get rid of Undying and Tombstone quickly.
Visage
* Heroes with damage over time abilities can quickly eat through Gravekeeper's Cloak charges like Huskar, 
Jakiro and 
Queen of Pain.
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.
Visage
* Heroes that can overwhelm Visage by sheer number like Chaos Knight, Meepo, Terrorblade and Phantom Lancer.
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.
Visage
* Heroes with magic immune abilities can negate most of Visage's attacks like 
Pangolier and 
Lifestealer.
Visage
* Heroes with summons: Lycan, Broodmother, 
Visage, 
Nature's Prophet, 
Warlock.
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
* 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
* Zombies summoned from Tombstone will amplify the damage of 
Echo Slam due to them increasing the echo damage.
Visage
* Phoenix's 
Supernova cannot be damaged by Familiars.
* In the early and mid game, 
Sun Ray won't deal enough damage to be reduced by Gravekeeper's Cloak.
* Once Sun Ray deals enough damage to protect Visage, a layer of Gravekeeper's Cloak is burnt every 0.2 seconds.
Undying
* Tombstone's zombies rarely inhibit Anti-Mage, as he can either Blink away or onto the Tombstone and destroy it.
Visage
* Diabolic Edict and Pulse Nova hit all units around Leshrac, making it very easy for him to kill the 
Summon Familiars.
* Diabolic Edict and Pulse Nova also deal many instances of damage, nullifying Gravekeeper's Cloak.
* Split Earth and Lightning Storm makes it difficult for Visage to kite Leshrac, even while under the effects of 
Grave Chill.
Visage
* 
Axe can 
Berserker's Call into a flock of Familiars, proccing 
Counter Helix and killing them off.
* Familiars' very fast attacks will proc Counter Helix, receiving full damage due to their low attack range.
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
* 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
* 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.
Visage
* 
Venomous Gale, 
Poison Sting and 
Poison Nova deal damage over time and will chip away at Gravekeeper's Cloak in addition to slowing an already sluggish hero.
* 
Venomancer's normal attacks deal Poison Sting and will chip away at Gravekeeper's Cloak.
Visage
* 
Viper Strike can disable Gravekeeper's Cloak, Visage's primary defense mechanism.
* Viper can ignore Grave Chill's attack speed slow with his magic damage output.
Additional:
* Since Visage is a slow hero, 
Viper can easily kite him with 
Poison Attack and Viper Strike while successfully chipping away at Gravekeeper's Cloak.
* 
Nethertoxin removes all layers of Gravekeeper's Cloak, leaving Visage exposed.
* 
Corrosive Skin makes Viper highly resistant to Soul Assumption.
Visage
* Pangolier's high mobility allows Pangolier to escape from Visage's ganking attempt. Keep in mind that his familiars can easily interfere with your ultimate during casting time if they are able to scout your position.
* Swashbuckle quickly burn away Gravekeeper's Cloak charges.
Visage
* 
Sand King's 
Sand Storm damages familiars quickly whittling them down in health, rendering them vulnerable.

Epicenter quickly damages and destroys familiars.
Visage
* Heroes with armor reducing abilities greatly hinder Visage's defense like 
Slardar and 
Dazzle.
Visage
* Heroes with very little to no area-of-effect abilities will struggle greatly against Broodmother: Sniper, 
Phantom Assassin, 
Nyx Assassin, 
Bane, Visage, 
Bounty Hunter.
Visage
* Heroes that rely on summons will suffer against Ion Shell, which kills them very quickly: 
Beastmaster, Broodmother, 
Enigma, Nature's Prophet, Visage, Warlock, 
Wraith King.
Undying
* 
Mirana can destroy Tombstone, and evade zombies using Leap and Moonlight Shadow's invisibility.
Undying
* 
Invoker's multiple spells can lock down Undying and disable him from doing much.
Visage
* Heroes with armor reducing abilities greatly hinder Visage's defense like Slardar and Dazzle.
Visage
* Heroes with cleave or multi-target attacks can quickly take on Familiars and reduce Visage's firepower like Gyrocopter, Kunkka, Magnus and Medusa.
Visage
* Jakiro's area-of-effect abilities make him strong against heroes who rely on illusions and summons: Terrorblade, 
Naga Siren Chaos Knight, Phantom Lancer, Broodmother, Nature's Prophet, Lycan, Wraith King, Visage.
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.
Visage
* Heroes with damage over time abilities can quickly eat through Gravekeeper's Cloak charges like Huskar, Jakiro and Queen of Pain.
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
* Terrorblade can destroy Tombstone with his 
Conjure Image and 
Metamorphosis.
Visage
* Heroes that can overwhelm Visage by sheer number like Chaos Knight, Meepo, Terrorblade and Phantom Lancer.
Visage
* Heroes who can summon illusions and summons because Terrorblade has no abilities to deal with multiple enemies at once outside Reflection: 
Shadow Shaman, Naga Siren, Broodmother, Lycan, Enigma, Chaos Knight, Phantom Lancer, 
Shadow Demon, Dark Seer, Nature's Prophet, Invoker, 
Morphling, Visage, 
Grimstroke with 
Aghanim's Scepter.
Visage
* Heroes with cleave or multi-target attacks can quickly take on Familiars and reduce Visage's firepower like Gyrocopter, Kunkka, Magnus and Medusa.
Visage
* Heroes with summons and illusions can find themselves easily bested by Lina, like Broodmother, Nature's Prophet, 
Chen, Terrorblade, Naga Siren, Visage, Wraith King, Lycan, Phantom Lancer, Shadow Shaman.
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.
Visage
* Visage can quickly kill heroes with low to medium base armor and no innate escape mechanism. Examples include Alchemist, 
Crystal Maiden and Zeus.
Visage
* 
Scorched Earth can be used to engage Visage while removing Gravekeeper's Cloak charges.
* 
Infernal Blade will deal tremendous amounts of damage over time due to Visage's high health pool.
* 
Doom completely nullifies Gravekeeper's Cloak and prevents Visage from casting spells.
Undying
* Heroes with a slow attack rate will find themselves struggling to take out Tombstone, like Doom.
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.
Visage
* Familiars will be able to chase Spectre through the trees when she uses 
Spectral Dagger, while Visage can keep blasting her with Soul Assumption.
* 
Desolate will almost never proc because Visage will always have nearby Familiars.
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
Visage
* Nature's Prophet has no innate way to deal with Gravekeeper's Cloak or kill {U:Familiar}s effectively.
* Familiars can fly over the trees created by Sprout. They can also use 
Stone Form when Nature's Prophet is trying to use Teleportation.
* 
Aghanim's Shard upgraded Stone Form alow allows Visage himself to stun Nature's Prophet whenever he is trying to use Teleportation.
* Aghanim's Scepter gives Visage 
Silent as the Grave ability, which allows him and his {U:Familiar}s to either escape from Nature's Prophet or give him a surprise attack.
Additional:
* Nature's Prophet has no natural method of dealing with Gravekeeper's Cloak and Familiars.
* Familiar's low base attack time can chip away Nature Prophet's health.
* Familiar's Stone Form destroys trees created by 
Sprout.
* Familiars can scout woods and foggy areas where Nature's Prophet is trying to use 
Teleportation.
Undying
* Anti-Tank heroes like: 
Razor, 
Necrophos, Undying.
Visage
* Pudge has a very hard time killing Familiars due to his melee range and low attack speed.
* Stone Form can quickly interrupt 
Dismember.
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.
Visage
* Grave Chill will make Crystal Maiden's bad movement speed even worse.
* 
Soul Assumption charges can easily be stacked up from Freezing Field, allowing Visage to nuke enemies multiple times throughout the fight.
* {U:Familiar}'s Stone Form can also be used to interrupt 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.
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.
Visage
* Heroes that deal few, powerful instances of damage, like 
Oracle, 
Lion, or Sven, have a hard time breaking through Gravekeeper's Cloak.
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.
Visage
* Heroes with summons and illusions as Spirit Breaker has no strong AoE capabilities to deal with them: Chaos Knight, Phantom Lancer, Terrorblade, Naga Siren, Broodmother, Warlock, Visage, Nature's Prophet, Shadow Shaman, Lycan, Wraith King.
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.
Visage
* Stone Form can easily interrupt heroes with long channeling spells, like Crystal Maiden, Bane, Witch Doctor, or Enigma.
Visage
* Grave Chill can heavily slow down Chen and boost Visage and his familiars's attack speed and movement speed.
* Chen's 
Holy Persuasion cannot convert Visage's familiars from Summon Familiars at all, not even when upgraded with Aghanim's Shard that allows Chen to use it on ancient creeps as Visage's familiars are treated as creep-heroes, which could put Chen in disadvantage against Visage if his creeps die.
* Skilled Visage can buy 
Bloodthorn to prevent Chen from any chance of retaliating or saving himself with 
Hand of God and 
Gleipnir to clear waves of Chen's creeps and prevent them from escaping. This can get even better if Visage has access to Silent as the Grave ability from Aghanim's Scepter that will allow Visage and his familiars to be invisible, which they can use either to escape from Chen or to prepare a deadly surprise to him.
Visage
* Familiars can fly over the mines, rendering them safe from damage of Techies's mines. Visage can also use Familiars to check for mines on the map.
* Techies's low attack speed and damage will give them a hard time in destroying Visage's Familiars, and that can become even worse if they are affected by Grave Chill.
* Gravekeeper's Cloak allows Visage to survive Damage from Techies's mines.
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
* 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.
Visage
* Stone Form's long stun duration may prevent Puck from using escape abilities.
* Visage frequently builds 
Rod of Atos for the root that will make Puck unable to move and use his escape abilities. Alternatively, Visage can also build Bloodthorn to prevent Puck from using his escape abilities and make him more vulnerable to damage.
Visage
* Even though Visage's Familiars from Summon Familiars are fragile and can be killed quickly with Nyx Assassin's high burst damage, they can deal many instances of damage quickly, minimizing the effectiveness of Spiked Carapace.
* Gravekeeper's Cloak and tanky item builds make Visage hard for Nyx to kill with his burst damage. Aghanim's Shard upgraded Gravekeeper's Cloak also allows Visage to use 
Stone Form to both recover himself and stun Nyx Assassin if he is close enough to Visage.
* Visage's long range on Soul Assumption and Grave Chill make him hard to escape from, and Soul Assumption's low cooldown outmatches Spiked Carapace.
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.
Visage
* Gravekeeper's Cloak protects Visage from Legion Commander's attacks for most of Duel's duration.
* Chain stuns from Visage's familiars prevents Legion Commander from winning Duels.
Visage
* {U:Familiar}s can spot Clockwerk, allowing Visage's allies to dodge or block Hookshot attempts.
* Familiars will not be damaged by Blade Mail or Clockwerk's abilities, dealing dangerous amounts of damage to him.
Additional:
* Familiars can scout for Clockwerk's location allowing Visage to dodge or block 
Hookshot attempts.
* Gravekeeper's Cloak greatly absorbs damage from Hookshot.
Visage
* Due to their high attack speed, Summon Familiars will destroy Mass Serpent Wards quickly, granting Visage a massive amount of gold.
* Visage can use Stone Form of the Familiars to cancel Shackles. Aghanim's Shard upgraded Stone Form also allows Visage to use Stone Form himself to cancel Shackles while restoring his health.
* Grave Chill can make Shadow Shaman's bad movement speed and attack speed even worse.
* Visage is also a natural Bloodthorn wielder, which allows him to silence Shadow Shaman and make him more vulnerable to damage.
Additional:
* Due to their high attack speed, Visage's Summon Familiars will destroy 
Mass Serpent Ward quickly, granting Visage massive amount of gold.
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.
Visage
* Heroes with illusions and summons can be hard for Phantom Assassin to deal with, as she lacks any AoE abilities to deal with them without items: Broodmother, Phantom Lancer, Chaos Knight, Lycan, Naga Siren, Shadow Shaman, Visage, Nature's Prophet, Terrorblade, Warlock, Wraith King.
Visage
* Heroes that deal few, powerful instances of damage, like Oracle, Lion, or Sven, have a hard time breaking through Gravekeeper's Cloak.
Visage
* Visage can quickly kill heroes with low to medium base armor and no innate escape mechanism. Examples include Alchemist, Crystal Maiden and Zeus.
Visage
* Stone Form can easily interrupt heroes with long channeling spells, like Crystal Maiden, Bane, Witch Doctor, or Enigma.
Visage
* Heroes with both illusions and summons, for Io has nothing to deal with multiple enemies at once outside from Spirits's weak area-of-effect: Beastmaster, Broodmother, Chaos Knight, Lycan, Naga Siren, Nature's Prophet, Phantom Lancer, Shadow Shaman, Terrorblade, Visage, Warlock, Wraith King.
Visage
* Heroes with illusions and summons can swarm and overwhelm Bane, who has no area abilities to deal with them outside from Aghanim's Shard upgraded 
Brain Sap: Broodmother, Chaos Knight, Naga Siren, Nature's Prophet, Phantom Lancer, Terrorblade, Visage, Warlock, Wraith King.
Visage
* Because Oracle uses few, powerful instances of damage to kill enemies, 
Templar Assassin's 
Refraction and Visage's Gravekeeper's Cloak can absorb his burst damage.
Visage
* 
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
* 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.
Visage
* Tiny can deal with Visage's Gravekeeper's Cloak quickly, as Avalanche deals damage in enough instances to completely remove all 4 layers of the passive. With Visage's lower than average Armor, a well positioned stun can allow Tiny to kill Visage easily.
Additional:
* Tiny's 
Avalanche removes a significant number of layers from Gravekeeper's Cloak. When combined with 
Toss burns through all of Gravekeeper's Cloak while doing triple times Toss damage to Visage in midair.
* Tiny's already high damage coupled with 
Tree Grab's attack modifier will make short work of Visage's Familiars.
Visage
* 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
* 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.
Visage
* 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.
*
