Lotus Orb can dispel them and also provides armor that protects from Clinkz`s attacks. These items prove useless if Clinkz goes for a full damage build however.
- All of Clinkz`s damage comes from his attacks. If an enemy can build high amounts of armor, such as Vladmir`s Offering or Assault Cuirass, Clinkz becomes much less of a threat to them. Special mention goes to Shiva`s Guard which also slows Clinkz`s attack speed.
- After emerging from invisibility, items such as Force Staff and Hurricane Pike can be used to create distance between Clinkz and his target, preventing Clinkz from dealing damage.

Good against...
Huskar- Huskar`s Berserker`s Blood provides no protection against Clinkz`s physical damage output.
- Huskar has no way to disrupt Clinkz`s attacks and no way to kill Clinkz alone, as Clinkz can easily go invisible, teleport away, or even fight back.
- Clinkz will often build the items that counter Huskar and the items he usually builds. These include Black King Bar Item Changelogs Black King BarB A powerful staff imbued with the strength of giants.

- Clinkz can easily rush an Orchid Malevolence Item Changelogs Orchid MalevolenceB A garnet rod constructed from the essence of a fire demon. Cost4075 (775) Bought FromCaster Active Soul Burn Bonus +25 Intelligence+30 Attack speed+150% Mana regeneration+30 Attack damage . If he does he can use his invisibility to infiltrate the enemy`s Jungle and gank Anti-Mage for as long as he has not farmed a Manta Style.
- Clinkz does heavy damage to towers, and can take map control away from Anti-Mage to limit the space he has to farm early game. If Clinkz is ahead he is capable of ending the game before Anti-Mage becomes a threat. He can also match Anti-Mage`s ability to split push.
- Rubick`s Null Field provides him and his team no protection against Clinkz`s physical damage output.
- Rubick`s low armor and health make him extremely weak to Clinkz`s damage output; he can easily die in just a few attacks.
- Death Pact gives Clinkz so much health and damage that Fade Bolt`s reduction and burst becomes negligible after the laning phase.
- Clinkz`s spells are quite bad to Spell Steal, especially Strafe, the only one he usually casts near enemy heroes.
- Nature`s Prophet is often by himself. Clinkz can use invisibility to hunt him down and kill him, although a Quelling Blade may be needed to cut through his Sprout. Orchid Malevolence may also be needed if 3-4 seconds are not enough time to kill him, as he can teleport away.
- Clinkz can match Nature`s Prophet`s ability to split push.
- Nature`s Prophet does not offer any way to threaten Clinkz in teamfights. He has enough tankiness after Death Pact to shrug off his attacks and the range to fight back out of a Sprout.
