Bad against...
Chaos Knight Hero Strategy Counters Equipment Gear Responses Sounds Lore Old Abilities Changelogs Chaos Knight 22 + 3.2 14 + 2.1 16 + 1.2 Level
- Going on Chaos Knight is not going to end well for Night Stalker because he is illusion based hero.
- In addition, Chaos Knight often builds Manta Style Item Old Abilities Changelogs Manta Style An axe made of reflective materials that causes confusion amongst enemy ranks. Cost5000 (900) Bought FromArmor Active Mirror Image Bonus +10 Strength+26 Agility+10 Intelligence+15 to remove effects of Crippling Fear.
- It is not great matter how much Night Stalker is scary when ganking other heroes, Huskar`s Berserker`s Blood helps him endure damage from Void or any other gank attempt.
- Huskar`s durability is higher than Night Stalker, so Huskar will be able to deal with him.
- One more thing, Life Break significantly decreases mobility granted by Hunter in the Night.
- Darkness will boost Howl buffing enemy team.
- Night Stalker`s silence and slow are useless against Lycan if he activated Shapeshift.
- Meepo`s clones are very helpful in stopping Night Stalker from chasing a low health Meepo, as they can ensnare him and slow him down heavily. On top of that, Meepo has enough burst damage to even kill Night Stalker while stopping him.
- Mirror Image can be problematic 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.
- She can also Ensnare him, thus giving her teammates the chance to kill him.
- Omniknight`s Repel will block effects of Void and Crippling Fear.
- In addition, Night Stalker is mostly reliant on right-clicks, so Guardian Angel will help Omniknight and his allies a lot during teamfights.
- Same as every other illusion based hero, Night Stalker cannot deal at all with Phantom Lancer.
- Also, with 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 , Phantom Lancer will significantly decrease mobility granted by Hunter in the Night.
- Not only that Terrorblade is illusion based hero, but also Night Stalker doesn`t have very high damage output, which will give Terrorblade more than enough time to turn the tables with Sunder.
- Tidehunter`s Anchor Smash and Gush will decrease his mobility and attack damage when attacking head-on or ganking.
- Wraith king is more durable than Night Stalker, and win vs him in a fight due to his stun/lifesteal and crit once farmed. Reincarnations slow is useful vs Hunter in the Night.
Others
- Nightstalker is a natural ganker, so most position 5 supports are easy targets for him, like Lich Hero Strategy Counters Equipment Gear Responses Sounds Lore Old Abilities Changelogs Known Bugs Lich 18 + 1.85 15 + 2 18 + , Crystal Maiden Hero Strategy Counters Equipment Gear Responses Sounds Lore Old Abilities Changelogs Crystal Maiden 16 + 2 16 + 1.6 16 + 2.9 Level , Lion Hero Strategy Counters Equipment Gear Responses Sounds Lore Old Abilities Changelogs Known Bugs Lion 16 + 2 15 + 1.5 20 + , etc. They have low health and can do nothing to defend themselves while silenced.
- Although Slark can dispel Nightstalker`s slow and silence, Nightstalkers great night vision allows him to deactivate the passive speed and regen bonus from Shadow Dance more reliably. A well timed silence can also cause a quick death for Slark, since he does rely on his spells a lot.
Good against...
Anti-Mage- Balanar has a small mana pool, so Mana Void against him is usually very ineffective. He also only needs to cast 2 spells at the beginning, so the missing mana does not hinder Night Stalker much.
- Crippling Fear also prevents Anti-Mage from escaping with his blink, allowing Night Stalker and his allies to kill him off.
- The long silence at night prevents Bounty Hunter from escaping with their invisibility spells. Like Clinkz, he also has really low base health, so that Night Stalker can usually kill them alone during one cast of Crippling Fear at night.
- The long silence at night prevents Clinkz and from escaping with their invisibility spells. he also has really low base health, so that Night Stalker can usually kill them alone during one cast of Crippling Fear at night.
- Keeper of the Light`s Aghanim`s Scepter upgrade loses much of its power, due to Night Stalker being able to reduce the duration of daytime by a lot.
- Night Stalker is one of the best heroes to find (and silence) Tinker in the trees as well as one of the best fears to Tinker in the laning stage.
- With Aghanim`s Scepter and a Gem of True Sight, Night Stalker can easily find and probably kill Riki. And he is tanky hero to fight Riki any stage of the game.
