Creeps

It is most effective to use on large high level creeps that give more experience, making the most out of the multiplier.
For lane creeps, it is always most effective to use on a Melee Creep. For Mega Creeps, Midas can be used on either because both provide the same bounty and experience.

Situational Counters

Hand of Midas can be used on creeps controlled by Helm of the Dominator, Chen, and Enchantress. This is an effective means of instantly killing enemy controlled creeps.
Axe`s Battle Hunger can also be countered using Midas, the instant creep kill removing the debuff.
