Bad against...

Lion   Hero   Strategy   Counters   Equipment   Gear   Responses   Sounds   Lore   Old Abilities   Changelogs   Known Bugs     Lion 16 + 2 15 + 1.5 20 +

• Both of Lion`s Hex and Mana Drain destroys Naga Siren`s illusions in an instant. Making it hard to teamfight or push against a team with Lion.
• Earth Spike is an AoE disable with good damage. If used well, it can help distinguish the true Naga by the damage they take (illusions take more damage).

Outworld Devourer   Hero   Strategy   Counters   Equipment   Gear   Responses   Sounds   Lore   Old Abilities   Changelogs     Outworld Devourer 19 + 2.6 24 + 2 26 + 2.7 Level

• Outworld Devourer`s Arcane Orb deal bonus damage to illusions which is a very good way dealing with Naga Siren`s illusions.
• Sanity`s Eclipse will likely instantly kill all illusions.

Huskar   Hero   Strategy   Counters   Equipment   Gear   Responses   Sounds   Lore   Old Abilities   Changelogs     Huskar 21 + 2.7 15 + 1.4 18 + 1.5 Level Base

• Huskar`s ultimate ability does almost one-hit kill a Naga Siren illusion because of the percentage based damage. This makes it very hard to push against a Huskar.

Zeus   Hero   Strategy   Counters   Equipment   Gear   Responses   Sounds   Lore   Old Abilities   Changelogs     Zeus 19 + 2.6 11 + 1.2 22 + 2.7 Level Base

• Zeus` abilities deal high amount of burst magical damage which ignores Naga Siren`s high armor. Zeus` Arc Lightning is also a good way to destroy pushed in waves and clumped up Naga Siren illusions.

Timbersaw   Hero   Strategy   Counters   Equipment   Gear   Responses   Sounds   Lore   Old Abilities   Changelogs     Timbersaw 21 + 2.1 16 + 1.3 21 + 2.4 Level Base

• Timbersaw`s innate tankiness is very hard to deal with as Naga Siren. Timbersaw`s high Pure Damage and spammable AoE nukes can also destroy Naga Siren`s illusions very fast.

Axe   Hero   Strategy   Counters   Equipment   Gear   Responses   Sounds   Lore   Old Abilities   Changelogs   Known Bugs     Axe 25 + 2.8 20 + 2.2 18 +

• Axe   Hero   Strategy   Counters   Equipment   Gear   Responses   Sounds   Lore   Old Abilities   Changelogs   Known Bugs     Axe 25 + 2.8 20 + 2.2 18 + will destroy her illusions and proc Counter Helix more often due to being hit by more attacks.

Enchantress   Hero   Strategy   Counters   Equipment   Gear   Responses   Sounds   Lore   Old Abilities   Changelogs     Enchantress 16 + 1.3 19 + 1.8 21 + 3.1 Level Base

• Despite the fact that Enchantress is a single-target hero due to her reliance to creeps, Naga Siren will have hard time killing Enchantress because of Untouchable.
• Naga Siren will need help from Nuker to take her down.

Others

• Any hero that has a good follow-up to your Song: Black Hole, Freezing Field, Echo Slam...
  • A special mention goes to Undying   Hero   Strategy   Counters   Equipment   Gear   Responses   Sounds   Lore   Old Abilities   Changelogs   Known Bugs     Undying 22 + 2.4 10 + 0.8 27 + as zombies from his Tombstone will keep spawning during the Song.

Good against...

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

• Song of the Siren will waste Guardian Angel.
• Ensnare fully works on Repeled targets. Be that as it may, Ensnare is dispellable   Dispel   Removable buffs   Removable debuffs     A dispel is the term used for a forced removal of status effects. Dispels usually come together with other mechanics and are rarely seen as with any dispel, and so can be dispelled by Repel.
• As an agility hero that relies on illusions, Naga is one of the most natural Diffusal Blade   Item   Changelogs     Diffusal BladeB An enchanted blade that allows the user to cut straight into the enemy s soul. Cost3150 (700) Bought FromArtifacts Active Purge Charges 8 Passive Manabreak Bonus +25/35 Agility+10/15 carriers, the bane of Omniknight, as Guardian Angel is dispellable.

Nature`s Prophet   Hero   Strategy   Counters   Equipment   Gear   Responses   Sounds   Lore   Old Abilities   Changelogs     Nature s Prophet 19 + 2.1 18 + 1.9 25 + 2.9 Level

• Naga Siren is a natural split-pusher. With a radiance equipped, she will easily out-push Furion, farming his treants in the process.
• Ensnare prevents Teleportation. Even if he hid inside Sprout, Song of the Siren lasts long enough to prevent him from escaping.

Legion Commander   Hero   Strategy   Counters   Equipment   Gear   Responses   Sounds   Lore   Old Abilities   Changelogs     Legion Commander 26 + 2.9 18 + 1.7 20 + 2.2 Level

• Song of the Siren lasts long enough to prevent a successful Duel (but only if Naga wasn`t the target).

Templar Assassin   Hero   Strategy   Counters   Equipment   Gear   Responses   Sounds   Lore   Old Abilities   Changelogs   Known Bugs     Templar Assassin 18 + 2.4 23 + 2.3 20

• Ensnare disables Lanaya`s invisibility and Blink Dagger (Core Item on TA), and her illusions will break Refraction easily.

• Mirror Image can dispel Frostbite.
• Ensnare and Song of the Siren can stop Freezing Field. Ensnare goes through Black King Bar while Song of the Siren doesn`t care about any kind of invisibility.
• Song of the Siren can allow her team to quickly close the gap on Crystal Maiden.

• Naga Siren can make landing of Chen`s combo very hard due to being an illusion hero.
• Ensnare will prevent activating Hand of God, despite not silencing him.

• Song of the Siren can be used to nullify the effects of Winter`s Curse, and when upgraded with Aghanim`s Scepter it also outmatches the heal of Cold Embrace.
• If Winter Wyvern is reckless enough to put an ally in Cold Embrace, Naga Siren will be able to use her Ensnare to extend the disable on the hero affected by Cold Embrace.

• Bounty Hunter as a single target dealer, will not fare well against Naga Siren. He might as well try to Track her, but her Mirror Image will dispel the effect. Also, Ensnare reveals invisible units while they`re rooted, putting The Hunter in a tricky situation (not to mention that this is his only escaping ability).

• Naga Siren can easily disjoint, and dispel Corrosive Skin with Mirror Image.
• Since Viper is only single-targeted hero, he will not stand a chance against Naga Siren because she is a illusion based hero.

• Mirror Image can be effective since Night Stalker cannot withstand fighting Illusions. If he`s unable to tell which Naga Siren is real, he will have a hard time to land his Void and Crippling Fear.

• Naga Siren can cancel Black Hole channeling with Song of the Siren, thus giving time to her team to escape or counter initiate.
• Even if Enigma has Black King Bar, Ensnare can still cancel Black Hole.

• Song of the Siren stops him from acting and her illusions can push better than him because Mirror Image has longer duration.
• Arc Warden does not often build radiance which useful for illusion and counter illusion pushes.
• Mirror Image purges Flux or prevents Flux`s slow

Works well with...

• In the early game, you can deal huge amounts of physical damage with Shadow Wave if you surround an enemy with your Mirror Images. This can be setup with Ensnare and the damage can be further amplified through armor reduction with Rip Tide.
• The combination of Shallow Grave and Song of the Siren should result in some daring/clutch escapes for you and your allies.
• Worse for worse, you can always use your song as a means to buy time for Weave to tick into effect, forcing a fight with an armor difference to your advantage.

• Disruptor`s Kinetic Field and Static Storm can both be cast pre-emptively during Song of the Siren, dooming your enemies before the song ends.
  • There is almost nothing the enemy team can do if they are trapped into both spells and Disruptor also purchased an Aghanim`s Scepter.

• Ensnare will help Razor to fully steal an enemy`s damage (preferably their carry in the middle of a fight) with Static Link.

• Ravage works very well as a follow up Song of the Siren for perfect teamfights in the early game.
  • In later stages, odds are they will have either a Blink Dagger For the cosmetic item equipped by Axe, see Little Blink Dagger.   Item   Changelogs     Blink DaggerBL The fabled dagger used by the fastest assassin ever to walk the lands. Cost2250 Bought FromArcane to dodge the Ravage or a Black King Bar to negate it, wasting your perfect 5-man Sleep.

• Like Tidehunter, you can use Ghostship as a follow-up to the Song in the early game.
• You can also use Ensnare as a set-up for Torrent.
