Bad against...

• Dark Seer`s strength lies in his high-mana cost skills. Mana Break Gets rid of his mana (ergo, he can neither use Surge to escape, nor any of his offensive skills to fight).

Ember Spirit   Hero   Strategy   Counters   Equipment   Gear   Responses   Sounds   Lore   Old Abilities   Changelogs   Known Bugs     Ember Spirit 19 + 2.1 22 + 1.8 20

• Flame Guard makes Dark Seer not deal any damage with his skills to Ember Spirit   Hero   Strategy   Counters   Equipment   Gear   Responses   Sounds   Lore   Old Abilities   Changelogs   Known Bugs     Ember Spirit 19 + 2.1 22 + 1.8 20 .

Keeper of the Light   Hero   Strategy   Counters   Equipment   Gear   Responses   Sounds   Lore   Old Abilities   Changelogs     Keeper of the Light 14 + 2.1 15 + 1.6 25 +

• Mana Leak is very dangerous to Dark Seer, because even if he tries to escape with Surge he will lose all of his mana and get stunned.
• Blinding Light makes landing the Vacuum + Wall of Replica combo harder.

Oracle   Hero   Strategy   Counters   Equipment   Gear   Responses   Sounds   Lore   Old Abilities   Changelogs   Known Bugs     Oracle 18 + 2.2 15 + 1.7 23 +

• Oracle   Hero   Strategy   Counters   Equipment   Gear   Responses   Sounds   Lore   Old Abilities   Changelogs   Known Bugs     Oracle 18 + 2.2 15 + 1.7 23 + can remove Dark Seer`s Ion Shell and/or Surge by casting Fortune`s End. This makes any gank attempt on Dark Seer in the laning phase very likely to succeed.
• Fate`s Edict prevents all magical damage that comes from Dark Seer`s abilities.

Sniper   Hero   Strategy   Counters   Equipment   Gear   Responses   Sounds   Lore   Old Abilities   Changelogs     Sniper 16 + 2 21 + 2.5 15 + 2.6 Level Base

• A Sniper who is somewhat competent at positioning will never be hit by any of Dark Seer`s spells thanks to Take Aim.

Others

• Heroes that rely on illusions will suffer against Ion Shell, which kills them very quickly: Phantom Lancer   Hero   Strategy   Counters   Equipment   Gear   Responses   Sounds   Lore   Old Abilities   Changelogs     Phantom Lancer 21 + 2 29 + 2.6 21 + 2 Level , Chaos Knight   Hero   Strategy   Counters   Equipment   Gear   Responses   Sounds   Lore   Old Abilities   Changelogs     Chaos Knight 22 + 3.2 14 + 2.1 16 + 1.2 Level , Naga Siren For the race in Dota 2 lore, see Naga.   Hero   Strategy   Counters   Equipment   Gear   Responses   Sounds   Lore   Old Abilities   Changelogs   Known Bugs     , Meepo   Hero   Strategy   Counters   Equipment   Gear   Responses   Sounds   Lore   Old Abilities   Changelogs   Known Bugs     Meepo 23 + 1.6 23 + 2.2 20 + .
  • Heroes that rely on illusions typically spawn very strong illusions inside your Wall of Replica that you should use against them or their team.
• Melee heroes have a hard time laning against Dark Seer because of Ion Shell

Good against...

Broodmother   Hero   Strategy   Counters   Equipment   Gear   Responses   Sounds   Lore   Old Abilities   Changelogs   Known Bugs     Broodmother 17 + 2.8 18 + 2.2 18 +

• Ion Shell is a very powerful weapon against Broodmother   Hero   Strategy   Counters   Equipment   Gear   Responses   Sounds   Lore   Old Abilities   Changelogs   Known Bugs     Broodmother 17 + 2.8 18 + 2.2 18 + `s Spiderlings Spiderling Summon Level 3 Duration 60 Health 450 ( 675) Health regeneration 0.5 Armor 0 Magic resistance 0% Attack damage 18‒19 ( 30‒31) Acquisition range 500 Attack range 100 Base attack time 1.35 Attack animation . It makes her laning much harder.

• Ion Shell destroys Refraction`s protection stacks in short time.

• Living Armor can be destroyed fast with Ion Shell.

Works well with...

• Ion Shell on Bounty Hunter allows Bounty Hunter to do a lot of damage while staying invisible.

• Elder Titan gets along with Dark Seer for the following reason - Echo Stomp synergizes well with Vacuum and both heroes` ultis.

• Ion Shell on Riki allows him to do a lot of damage whilst staying invisible.

• Dark Seer`s Ion Shell along with Moon Glaive gives both Luna and Dark Seek big advantage to farm, while Surge gives Luna bonus movement speed to escape pursuits or to chase fleeing heroes, Vacuum is also a good setup for Eclipse.

• Since Sven`s Storm Hammer can stun enemies in a small area, Dark Seer can use his Vacuum to pull enemies into the spot allowing Storm Hammer to hit all enemies at the very spot.
• Sven can kill heroes that got pulled together by Vacuum very quickly due to his Great Cleave
• Surge is a partial solution to Sven`s early game lack of mobility allowing him to close in on his targets with ease.

• Venomous Gale provides a great setup for Dark Seer to run heroes down with Ion Shell.
