Good against...
Timbersaw Hero Strategy Counters Equipment Gear Responses Sounds Lore Old Abilities Changelogs Timbersaw 21 + 2.1 16 + 1.3 21 + 2.4 Level Base- Keeper of the Light can easily drain mana from Timbersaw, meanwhile mana is very necessary for Timbersaw`s spells and overall utility.
- For the same reason as Timbersaw, the already low mana pool Earth Spirit needs a lot of mana for his spells.
- Both Mana Leak and Blinding Light from Keeper of the Light will be a problem for Bristleback. Mana Leak because Bristle grows stronger if he uses first two abilities, and Blinding Light is because Bristleback, like many other heroes, should chase enemies.
- Keeper of the Light`s Mana Leak / Blinding Light combo will be a problem for Wraith King because Wraith King has low mana pool and mana regeneration, which his ultimate Reincarnation requires a high amount of it.
- Keeper of the Light`s exceptionally long cast range for Mana Leak can effectively disable Monkey King`s flexible motility and low mana pool. Also, Blinding Light can knock Monkey King outside of his ultimate, Wukong`s Command or can generally blind him effectively. Aghanim`s Scepter also gives him unobstructed vision during daytime, which is very important against Monkey King.
Works well with...

- Shaman`s ability, Shackles, allows Keeper Of The Light to deal maximum damage from Illuminate.
- Clockwerk`s ability, Power Cogs allows Keeper Of The Light to deal maximum damage from Illuminate.
- Mana Leak limits enemy movement, making for easier Meat Hooks. It can also effectively drain mana during the hook.
- Dismember gives Keeper of the Light to deal much damage from Illuminate.
