Outworld Devourer Counters


Items

  • Instant healing items, such as Mekansm, Magic Stick, and Faerie Fire, can be used inside Astral Imprisonment and the healing will take effect before the damage from the prison, potentially saving the target.
  • Pipe of Insight significantly reduces Sanity`s Eclipse`s damage.
  • Black King Bar makes the user immune to all of Outworld Devourer`s spells.
  • When using Helm of the Dominator, an Ogre Frostmage`s Ice Armor decreases OD`s attack speed, making it hard for him to steal intelligence and deal damage with Arcane Orb.

Bad against...

Brewmaster   Hero   Strategy   Counters   Equipment   Gear   Responses   Sounds   Lore   Old Abilities   Changelogs   Known Bugs     Brewmaster 23 + 3.2 22 + 1.95 14 + dota2
  • Brewmaster`s Brewlings are strong counters to OD, as he cannot cast Arcane Orb on the Ancient Creep-Heroes, he cannot escape with Astral Imprisonment, and Sanity`s Eclipse will do no damage.
  • Drunken Haze, along with his natural evasion, make Arcane Orb difficult to land during teamfights
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 dota2
  • Duel prevents Outworld Devourer from casting Arcane Orb, his main source of damage, and disables him for a long duration. His lack of durability compared to Legion Commander means he is unlikely to survive the Duel.
Templar Assassin   Hero   Strategy   Counters   Equipment   Gear   Responses   Sounds   Lore   Old Abilities   Changelogs   Known Bugs     Templar Assassin 18 + 2.4 23 + 2.3 20 dota2
  • Refraction during laning phase prevents Outworld Devourer from harassing with Arcane Orb, while allowing Templar Assassin to tear through his low health pool more quickly. Even in later stages of the game, Outworld Devourer cannot quickly deplete Templar Assassin`s Refraction charges.
  • If timed correctly, Refraction can completely negate damage from Sanity`s Eclipse.
  • Outworld Devourer has no escape mechanism, so getting slowed by a Psionic Trap can easily prove fatal.
Nyx Assassin This page is about the hero. For the goddess in Dota 2 lore, see Nyx.   Hero   Strategy   Counters   Equipment   Gear   Responses   Sounds   Lore   Old Abilities   dota2
  • Outworld Devourer`s high mana pool, high intelligence, and low health makes him a prime target for Mana Burn.
  • If timed correctly, Spiked Carapace will return full damage from Sanity`s Eclipse back to Outworld Devourer. Even a reflected Arcane Orb can deal significant damage and make him vulnerable to a follow-up from Nyx Assassin.
  • Spiked Carapace is also the perfect tool against Astral Imprisonment: if used on Nyx, he can reflect the damage back as he comes out of the prison by casting the ability while imprisoned; if used on any other target, Nyx can come and stand close to it and use it to reflect the damage.
Lone Druid   Hero   Strategy   Counters   Equipment   Gear   Responses   Sounds   Lore   Old Abilities   Changelogs   Known Bugs     Lone Druid 17 + 2.4 24 + 2.7 13 dota2
Pugna   Hero   Strategy   Counters   Equipment   Gear   Responses   Sounds   Lore   Old Abilities   Changelogs     Pugna 17 + 1.5 16 + 1 26 + 4.5 Level Base dota2
  • Nether Ward heavily damages Outworld Devourer if he tries to use Arcane Orb.
  • Decrepify prevents Outworld Devourer from using Arcane Orb and makes him more vulnerable to magic damage.
  • Pugna has higher Intelligence growth than Outworld Devourer, making Sanity`s Eclipse minimally effective.
Silencer   Hero   Strategy   Counters   Equipment   Gear   Responses   Sounds   Lore   Old Abilities   Changelogs     Silencer 17 + 2.5 22 + 3 27 + 2.5 Level Base dota2
  • Silencer`s Intelligence Steal will heavily reduce Outworld Devourer`s damage output, particularly from Sanity`s Eclipse.
  • Last Word and Global Silence will take Outworld Devourer out of the fight unless he has built Black King Bar.
Sniper   Hero   Strategy   Counters   Equipment   Gear   Responses   Sounds   Lore   Old Abilities   Changelogs     Sniper 16 + 2 21 + 2.5 15 + 2.6 Level Base dota2
  • As Outworld Devourer has short cast ranges, a short attack range, and no gap-closing abilities, Sniper can kite and harass Outworld Devourer in lane with his long range and zone him out in fights. The continuous area damage from Shrapnel also prevents Astral-Blink escapes.

Others

Good against...

Anti-Mage
  • Spell Shield doesn`t work versus Arcane Orb because it does pure damage.
  • Anti-Mage cannot burn all of Outworld Devourer`s mana without disables, due to Essence Aura.
  • Anti-Mage`s Manta Style illusions are quickly destroyed by Arcane Orb.
  • Be that as it may, if the enemy has multiple means of removing mana, Mana Void becomes a threat to Outworld Devourer, Anti-Mage has better mobility than Outworld Devourer with Blink, and Spell Shield blocks a large portion of the damage from Sanity`s Eclipse.
Huskar
  • Huskar`s main source of survivability, Berserker`s Blood, doesn`t work against Outworld Devourer because Arcane Orb does pure damage.
  • Outworld Devourer can dodge Life Break with Astral Imprisonment, leaving him unharmed while Huskar loses HP.
  • Sanity`s Eclipse can deal massive damage to Huskar before he builds up his Berserker`s Blood stacks, due to Huskar`s low Intelligence.
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 dota2
  • Outworld Devourer can save an ally hero caught by Duel with Astral Imprisonment, and he can inflict heavy damage on Legion Commander with Arcane Orb to aid his ally. Be that as it may, if he gets caught, he is unlikely to survive the duel, due to his lack of durability
Morphling
  • Arcane Orb deals much damage regardless of Morphling`s high armor from Morph (Agility Gain).
  • Sanity`s Eclipse Morphling into trouble as he needs mana for Morph (Strength Gain).
  • Replicate illusions of Outworld Devourer will not deal much damage as most of that comes from his spells. Also, Replicate illusions of OD`s allies fall fast to Arcane Orb.
