Bad against...

Juggernaut   Hero   Strategy   Counters   Equipment   Gear   Responses   Sounds   Lore   Old Abilities   Changelogs     Juggernaut 20 + 2.2 26 + 2.4 14 + 1.4 Level Base

• Blade Fury allows Juggernaut to simply move out of Kinetic Field and to dodge Glimpse.
• Healing Ward can keep heroes trapped in the Static Storm alive.
• Omnislash can be used to dodge Glimpse.

Lifestealer   Hero   Strategy   Counters   Equipment   Gear   Responses   Sounds   Lore   Old Abilities   Changelogs     Lifestealer 25 + 3.3 18 + 1.9 15 + 1.75 Level Base

• Rage can be used to escape from a Glimpse and to move out of Kinetic Field.
• Infest allows Lifestealer to doge Glimpse.

Omniknight   Hero   Strategy   Counters   Equipment   Gear   Responses   Sounds   Lore   Old Abilities   Changelogs   Known Bugs     Omniknight 22 + 3.1 15 + 1.75 17 +

• Purification allows Omniknight to keep a hero trapped in the Static Storm alive.
• Repel can save an ally from Glimpse or out of a Kinetic Field.

Phantom Lancer   Hero   Strategy   Counters   Equipment   Gear   Responses   Sounds   Lore   Old Abilities   Changelogs     Phantom Lancer 21 + 2 29 + 2.6 21 + 2 Level

• Doppelganger is a very reliable tool against Glimpse, enabling him to dodge it consistently.
• Doppelganger also allows Phantom Lancer to escape Kinetic Field so long as there isn`t a Static Storm on top of him.

Pugna   Hero   Strategy   Counters   Equipment   Gear   Responses   Sounds   Lore   Old Abilities   Changelogs     Pugna 17 + 1.5 16 + 1 26 + 4.5 Level Base

• Nether Ward can do a ton of damage to Disruptor because of his high mana costs.
• Life Drain can be used to heal an ally trapped by Disruptor.

Others

• As said for Tidehunter   Hero   Strategy   Counters   Equipment   Gear   Responses   Sounds   Lore   Old Abilities   Changelogs     Tidehunter 22 + 3.3 15 + 1.5 16 + 1.7 Level Base , Disruptor`s spells can`t be purged off. It makes him decent against heroes that rely on a purge to stay alive or protect an enemy, such as the ones provided by Aphotic Shield, Press the Attack, Fortune`s End.
• A level 4 Glimpse has very long range and a short cooldown. It`s the perfect tool to cancel any channeled Warlock channeling Upheaval Channeling an ability causes the caster to stop acting for the duration of the spell. Channeled spells may be ended when the channeling unit takes another action or is interrupted by another ability (Spells and Town Portal Scroll   Item   Changelogs     Town Portal ScrollBL What a hero truly needs.

No Recipe The Town Portal Scroll is an item purchasable s) before your opponents build a Linken`s Sphere   Item   Interactions   Old Abilities   Changelogs     Linken s Sphere This magical sphere once protected one of the most famous heroes in history.

Cost3975 (1375) Bought FromArmor Active Avatar Bonus +10 Strength+24 Attack damage Disassemble? No Alert allies? No Recipe .
  • If they actually DID buy a Linken`s Sphere just to counter a long-disance Glimpse, don`t forget you can always drop Static Storm on top of them to silence them anyways... But it won`t cancel TPs.
• An Aghanim`s Scepter   Item   Upgraded Abilities   Old Abilities   Lore   Changelogs     Aghanim s Scepter The scepter of a wizard with demigod-like powers. Cost4200 Bought FromCaster Passive Ultimate Upgrade Bonus +10 Strength+10 Agility+10 Intelligence+175 will make you a threat to almost every hero, as it will silence spells and items.
  • But it can be difficult to farm on a support Disruptor.

Good against...

Slark   Hero   Strategy   Counters   Equipment   Gear   Responses   Sounds   Lore   Old Abilities   Changelogs     Slark 20 + 1.9 21 + 1.5 16 + 1.7 Level Base

• Thunder strike gives vision to him while being invisible.
• Glimpse`s range at lvl 3-4 is more than enough to pull him back to a favorable position for your team to group up and kill him.
• AoE silence and the ability to mute BKB is deadly to Slark at all stages of the game.

Queen of Pain   Hero   Strategy   Counters   Equipment   Gear   Responses   Sounds   Lore   Old Abilities   Changelogs     Queen of Pain 16 + 2 18 + 2 24 + 2.5

• Blink and positioning is crucial for QoP. These factors are heavily countered by a good Glimpse.
• Static Storm is devastating for Queen as she relies heavily on her spell inflict heavy burst damage.

• Same as Queen of Pain. However the damage of Static Storm is negligible at end-game stage.

Tidehunter   Hero   Strategy   Counters   Equipment   Gear   Responses   Sounds   Lore   Old Abilities   Changelogs     Tidehunter 22 + 3.3 15 + 1.5 16 + 1.7 Level Base

• In the mid-game, Tidehunter relies on Kraken Shell to stay alive and get his Ravage off. Apart from Thunder Strike, none of Disruptor`s abilities can be purged, so it`s rather easy to trap him inside Kinetic Field and Static Storm.
• Be mindful however that Kraken Shell still makes Tidehunter very tanky and be sure that you can kill him with your combo or your partners while he is silenced and trapped.

Storm Spirit   Hero   Strategy   Counters   Equipment   Gear   Responses   Sounds   Lore   Old Abilities   Changelogs     Storm Spirit 19 + 1.8 22 + 1.8 24 + 3 Level

• At around 10-minute mark, Disruptor would normally be level 6 or 7. This means you can have a level 3/4 glimpse along with Static Storm. A high level glimpse is enough to pull Storm back to a Static Storm even after he used Ball Lightning due to his limited mana pool at that time.
  • Be careful in the late game be that as it may, as there is a good chance he will kill you straight-out before Glimpse has finished bringing him back. Therefore Glimpse would simply bring him back to safety after he`s murdered you or a teammate. Of course, this is assuming he hasn`t silenced you with an item.

• Disruptor can always Glimpse back Io or his target after he Relocated nearby.
• Even better, thanks to the indicator on the ground, you can even preemptively drop Static Storm and Kinetic Field on the spot they will relocate to.
• Thunderstrike and Glimpse are also good tools to bring back an Io that Tethered away in the fog of war.

Works well with...

• Lacks any disables and will enjoy enemies in Kinetic Field, as he breaks their mana and cast a Mana Void with all Heroes alongside.

• Illuminate and Kinetic Field can do a great combo. Their high and channeling ( Illuminate case) duration will unleash Illuminate`s max damage.

• Both Heroes can set up a good initiation for each other. They have strong AoE abilities with long disables and high damage.

• Keeping enemies within Kinetic Field helps Warlock to stack the slow on them and allow his Golems to do a real mess.
