Vengeful Spirit
* Past the mid game, an isolated Vengeful Spirit makes for an easy kill for Anti-Mage.
* Magic Missile is the only disable Vengeful Spirit has against Anti-Mage, but he can either 
Blink away to disjoint the stun or reflect it back against Vengeful Spirit with 
Counterspell.
* Nether Swap isn't very effective against Anti-Mage - if used offensively, Anti-Mage can simply blink away to safety, and if used defensively, Blink's low cooldown allows him to persistently chase as well.
Undying
* 
Tombstone's zombies rarely inhibit Anti-Mage, as he can either Blink away or onto the Tombstone and destroy it.
Vengeful Spirit
* 
Magic Missile is a solid damage source and lockdown that fits nicely with Rubick's kit.
* Rubick also acquires the secondary Magic Missile with 
Aghanim's Shard.
* 
Wave of Terror can be used to scout an area to prevent juking or initiate with 
Telekinesis, as well as reducing the armor of enemy team during a teamfight.
* 
Nether Swap does what it does - saving an ally from danger, initiating on an enemy, or helping with caughting a fleeing hero.
* With Aghanim's Shard, Rubick can lift himself up and drop quickly to a place of safety after the swap. Note that Rubick can only choose to either disable the enemy or save himself at one time with Telekinesis.
Additional:
* All of Vengeful Spirit abilities are very good for Rubick to 
Spell Steal:
* Magic Missile provides an additional nuke/disable to pair with 
Fade Bolt and Telekinesis, respectively.
* Wave of Terror serves as a good scouting/armor reduction skill that Rubick and his team can benefit from.
* Nether Swap complements Rubick's mobility and pairs well with other mobility items he usually builds. He can also use it to save an ally from danger.
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.
Vengeful Spirit
* Vengeful Spirit has no strong AoE nuke or disable against Phantom Lancer's Illusions.
* Phantom Lancer is a natural 
Diffusal Blade carrier, which reduces Vengeful Spirit's low mana pool very quickly, leaving her defenseless.
* 
Doppelganger can dodge Vengeful Spirit's abilites.
* 
Phantom Rush with his illusions can chase Vengeful Spirit efficiently.
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.
Vengeful Spirit
* Heroes who relies on illusions and summons (
Beastmaster, 
Chaos Knight, etc.).
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
* Split Shot can destroy Tombstone Zombies and Tombstone itself while still damaging heroes.
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.
Additional:
* 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.
Vengeful Spirit
* Nether Swap triggers extra damage from Rupture.
* Blood Rite sets up while Vengeful Spirit using her Nether Swap within a timed correctly.
Vengeful Spirit
* 
Vendetta disables Vengeance Aura and allows him to attack Vengeful Spirit with 
Impale and 
Mind Flare.
* 
Spiked Carapace is easy to use against a Wave of Terror or Magic Missile.
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
* 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.
Vengeful Spirit
* 
Nethertoxin disables Vengeance Aura.
* Vengeful Spirit has no mobility spells aside from Nether Swap, which Viper can take advantage of with his slows.
* Viper can easily bully Vengeful Spirit out of a lane with 
Poison Attack.
Additional:
* 
Viper Strike can disable the attack damage bonus from 
Vengeance Aura and the components of Nether Swap.
* Both Magic Missile and Wave of Terror are counteracted by 
Corrosive Skin, making Vengeful Spirit's fighting harder against Viper.
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.
Vengeful Spirit
* 
Ball Lightning disjoints an incoming Magic Missile, avoids Wave Of Terror, and allows Storm Spirit to easily escape if he ever gets Nether Swapped.
Vengeful Spirit
* Skywrath Mage should have the upper hand against Vengeful Spirit with Ancient Seal.
* Vengeful is highly dependant on her abilities and has no natural means to deal against silences.
* Her low attack range allows Skywrath Mage to easily bully her out of the lane.
Undying
* Zombies summoned from Tombstone will amplify the damage of 
Echo Slam due to them increasing the echo damage.
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
* 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
* Flak Cannon rips through Tombstone's zombies.
Additional:
* 
Flak Cannon enables Gyrocopter to clear the zombies easily.
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
* 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.
Vengeful Spirit
* Frail heroes who lacks mobility: 
Crystal Maiden, 
Enigma, 
Dark Willow, 
Vengeful Spirit.
Vengeful Spirit
* Heroes who have a high mobility (
Queen of Pain, 
Storm Spirit, 
Slark, etc.).
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
* 
Invoker's multiple spells can lock down Undying and disable him from doing much.
Undying
* 
Reactive Armor makes Timbersaw very effective against heroes that control a lot of units, such as 
Broodmother, 
Lycan and Undying.
Vengeful Spirit
* Heroes who have a high mobility (Queen of Pain, Storm Spirit, Slark, etc.).
Vengeful Spirit
* Heroes who relies on illusions and summons (Beastmaster, Chaos Knight, etc.).
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
* 
Mirana can destroy Tombstone, and evade zombies using Leap and Moonlight Shadow's invisibility.
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.
Vengeful Spirit
* 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.
Undying
* Sniper can easily destroy Tombstone from long range.
Vengeful Spirit
* Heroes with catch to disrupt Sniper's positioning and deliver him into the enemies: 
Batrider, 
Disruptor, 
Pudge, Vengeful Spirit.
Vengeful Spirit
* Lina can burst Vengeful Spirit down, provided she can land 
Light Strike Array before Vengeful Spirit lands her Magic Missile.
* 
Laguna Blade deals massive damage, often being enough to kill a squishy Vengeful Spirit.
Vengeful Spirit
* Heroes with abilities that can pull Lina out of position can easily bring her to their team mates, like Batrider with 
Flaming Lasso, Pudge with 
Meat Hook and Vengeful Spirit with Nether Swap.
Vengeful Spirit
* Vengeful Spirit has two abilities to interrupt Death Ward, even through Black King Bar.
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.
Vengeful Spirit
* Heroes with strong channeling spells like Crystal Maiden's 
Freezing Field, 
Bane's 
Fiend's Grip, and Enigma's 
Black Hole can easily be interrupted from a long range by Nether Swap, assuming they don't have a 
Linken's Sphere.
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.
Vengeful Spirit
* Nether Swap breaks Flaming Lasso when used on ally and can break if used on Batrider.
* Vengeful Spirit can disable Batrider's 
Blink Dagger before a fight with Wave of Terror.
Additional:
* With her Nether Swap, Vengeful Spirit can save the life of an ally who gets caught with Flaming Lasso. Nether Swap also makes it highly dangerous for Batrider to attempt a lasso, as it can lead to his own demise far behind enemy lines.
* Wave of Terror's flying vision allows Vengeful Spirit to spot Batrider trying to close in on his target with 
Firefly.
Vengeful Spirit
* Magic Missile can stun Chen and deal heavy damage to him.
* Wave of Terror weakens durability of Chen and his creeps.
* Nether Swap can be used to separate Chen away from his creeps, often to certain death from Vengeful Spirit's allies.
Vengeful Spirit
* Wave of Terror grants flying vision over trees, and its wide effect can hit Monkey King and end Mischief.
* Nether Swap can easily cancel Wukong's Command by swapping him out of the circle.
Additional:
* She can easily cancel 
Wukong's Command with Nether Swap.
* Wave of Terror can also detect him while he's on the trees.
Vengeful Spirit
* Nether Swap can forcibly reposition 
Sharpshooter.
Vengeful Spirit
* Fragile supports who die in a few hits against Sven's high physical damage: Crystal Maiden, Vengeful Spirit, Dark Willow.
Vengeful Spirit
* 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.
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.
Vengeful Spirit
* Nether Swap can save an ally from the Chronosphere.
Additional:
* With her Nether Swap, a well positioned Vengeful Spirit can save the life of a more important ally who gets caught in 
Chronosphere.
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
* 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.
Vengeful Spirit
* Nether Swap breaks one ally out of Soulbind, and can be used to redistribute the shared damage to Vengeful Spirit herself.
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.
Vengeful Spirit
* Vengeful Spirit can interrupt Black Hole's channeling through Black King Bar by using Nether Swap from a safe distance.
* Vengeful Spirit's Level 25 Talent can make her Magic Missile pierce spell immunity, giving her another option to use in conjunction with Nether Swap to cancel Enigma's Black Hole channeling even through both, Black King Bar and Linken's Sphere.
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
* 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
* 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.
Vengeful Spirit
* Wave of Terror can reveal a Tinker attempting to hide in the trees and then Nether Swap and Magic Missile will both serve to interrupt/lock him down, should he attempt to town portal or reload.
Undying
* Heroes with a slow attack rate will find themselves struggling to take out Tombstone, like Doom.
Vengeful Spirit
* Heroes with high physical and magical damage alike are a huge hazard for Muerta, as they can deal serious damage to her even if she has 
Pierce the Veil active: 
Luna, 
Lina, 
Tusk, Broodmother, 
Shadow Fiend, 
Ember Spirit, Gyrocopter, Vengeful Spirit, 
Arc Warden, 
Medusa, 
Shadow Shaman.
Vengeful Spirit
* Certain heroes can mess up with Pangolier's positioning and timing (especially if he intends to use Rolling Thunder during combat): Vengeful Spirit, 
Keeper of the Light, 
Huskar, Dark Seer
Undying
* Anti-Tank heroes like: 
Razor, 
Necrophos, Undying.
Vengeful Spirit
* Heroes with disables that ignore spell immunity will render Phantom Assassin completely useless in teamfights throughout the game: 
Axe, Enigma, Vengeful Spirit, Doom, Bane, Beastmaster, Pudge, Medusa, 
Warlock.
Vengeful Spirit
* Heroes with strong channeling spells like Crystal Maiden's Freezing Field, Bane's Fiend's Grip, and Enigma's Black Hole can easily be interrupted from a long range by Nether Swap, assuming they don't have a Linken's Sphere.
Vengeful Spirit
* 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.
Vengeful Spirit
* Vengeful Spirit can Nether Swap enemies out of Power Cogs.
Additional:
* Nether Swap gives Vengeful Spirit a way to save an ally from Clockwerk's Power Cogs.
* Magic Missile will interrupt Clockwerk trying to run down Vengeful Spirit's allies with Battery Assault.
Undying
* Meepo can quickly destroy Tombstone thanks to 
Divided We Stand.
Vengeful Spirit
* With Nether Swap, Vengeful Spirit can isolate one of the Meepos, making him an easier kill for the team.
* Her Magic Missile gives her an easy way to cancel Meepo's 
Poof, preventing isolated Meepos from fleeing.
Undying
* 
Terrorblade can destroy Tombstone with his 
Conjure Image and 
Metamorphosis.
Vengeful 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.
Vengeful Spirit
* Magic Missile has a considerably long cast time, making it difficult to stop 
Charge of Darkness with it.
* Other than Magic Missile, Vengeful Spirit has no way of canceling 
Nether Strike.
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
* Huskar's huge damage output and attack speed can get rid of Undying and Tombstone quickly.
Vengeful Spirit
* Heroes with abilities that reduce armor will make Huskar very vulnerable: 
Weaver, 
Dazzle, 
Bristleback, Vengeful Spirit.
Additional:
* Huskar struggles against heroes that output high physical damage due to his low armor. Vengeful Spirit's Wave of Terror and Vengeance Aura help increase the physical damage of her team.
Vengeful Spirit
* 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.
Kraken Shell will often proc and clear Tidehunter's debuffs.
* Due to Magic Missile's high damage,
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.
