• Lina is decent at clearing creep camps, making her not-too-useless against Enchantress` creeps.
• Light Strike Array could prove crucial against a centaur conqueror chain-stun, for example

• Low @@@#@@@HP(hp.com)###@### hero, Lina can nuke her down easily.
• Crystal Maiden`s Freezing Field is channeling, Lina can use her Light Strike Array to cancel it easily.

• Lina`s high damage burst from Dragon Slave, Light Strike Array and Laguna Blade can easily destroy Phantom Assassin.

• Lina`s Dragon Slave and Light Strike Array can easily kill Chen`s converted creeps
• Lina`s high damage burst from Dragon Slave, Light Strike Array and Laguna Blade can easily kill Chen`s allies before he can use Hand of God.
