Bad against...

Venomancer   Hero   Strategy   Counters   Equipment   Gear   Responses   Sounds   Lore   Old Abilities   Changelogs     Venomancer 18 + 2.15 22 + 2.8 17 + 1.8 Level Base

• Venomancer`s lingering damage over time debuffs easily remove charges from her Refraction, leaving her defenseless to other damage sources. His slows allow him and his team to catch up to her and follow up, and his Plague Wards give vision and are able to reapply the DoT debuff.

Phoenix   Hero   Strategy   Counters   Equipment   Gear   Responses   Sounds   Lore   Old Abilities   Changelogs     Phoenix 19 + 3.2 12 + 1.3 18 + 1.8 Level Base

• In a similar vein to Venomancer, Phoenix` abilities all apply damage over time debuffs that can destroy her Refraction charges, but with the added threat of being able to force her out of hiding via Meld, as Phoenix can just throw all its AoE abilities in the spot she`s hiding and either force her to run or be burned to death.

Viper   Hero   Strategy   Counters   Equipment   Gear   Responses   Sounds   Lore   Old Abilities   Changelogs     Viper 20 + 2.4 21 + 2.9 15 + 1.8 Level Base

• The damage over time from Viper`s Poison Attack and Viper Strike rapidly wear down Refraction charges, allowing Templar Assassin to be damaged. Additionally, Corrosive Skin causes her attacks to apply damage over time on her as well.

Dragon Knight   Hero   Strategy   Counters   Equipment   Gear   Responses   Sounds   Lore   Old Abilities   Changelogs     Dragon Knight 19 + 3.1 19 + 2.2 15 + 1.7 Level

• The damage over time from Dragon Knight`s Elder Dragon Form rapidly burns down Refraction, allowing him to attack her. Also, Breathe Fire reduces Templar Assassin`s damage and Dragon Tail is a stun with a considerable duration, letting him and his team whittle her health down once her defenses wear off.

Pudge   Hero   Strategy   Counters   Equipment   Gear   Responses   Sounds   Lore   Old Abilities   Changelogs     Pudge 25 + 3.5 14 + 1.5 14 + 1.5 Level Base

• His Rot can force Templar Assassin out of her Meld and destroy all of her Refraction charges quickly, and her small health pool and meager defense makes her very vulnerable to his Meat Hook without Refraction.

Others

• Other heroes that apply armor reduction can work well with Templar Assassin`s burst physical damage, so Heroes such as Shadow Fiend   Hero   Strategy   Counters   Equipment   Gear   Responses   Sounds   Lore   Old Abilities   Changelogs     Shadow Fiend 15 + 2.3 20 + 2.9 18 + 2 Level , Dazzle   Hero   Strategy   Counters   Equipment   Gear   Responses   Sounds   Lore   Old Abilities   Changelogs     Dazzle 16 + 2.15 21 + 1.7 27 + 3.4 Level Base , Tidehunter   Hero   Strategy   Counters   Equipment   Gear   Responses   Sounds   Lore   Old Abilities   Changelogs     Tidehunter 22 + 3.3 15 + 1.5 16 + 1.7 Level Base , or Heroes that buy armor reducing items such as Bounty Hunter "Bounty" redirects here. For the reward earned from last-hits, see Gold.   Hero   Strategy   Counters   Equipment   Gear   Responses   Sounds   Lore   Old Abilities   Changelogs   Known Bugs can be good companions for Lanaya in a team fight.
• Ranged disables allow Templar Assassin to catch up and burst her target down easily. As such, heroes like Sven   Hero   Strategy   Counters   Equipment   Gear   Responses   Sounds   Lore   Old Abilities   Changelogs   Known Bugs     Sven 23 + 3 21 + 2 16 + , Oracle   Hero   Strategy   Counters   Equipment   Gear   Responses   Sounds   Lore   Old Abilities   Changelogs   Known Bugs     Oracle 18 + 2.2 15 + 1.7 23 + , 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 or Earthshaker   Hero   Strategy   Counters   Equipment   Gear   Responses   Sounds   Lore   Old Abilities   Changelogs   Known Bugs     Earthshaker 22 + 3.2 12 + 1.4 16 + are invaluable to an ambush or a clash.

Good against...

Shadow Fiend   Hero   Strategy   Counters   Equipment   Gear   Responses   Sounds   Lore   Old Abilities   Changelogs     Shadow Fiend 15 + 2.3 20 + 2.9 18 + 2 Level

• Shadow Fiend`s fragility and lack of a natural escape mechanism makes him a great target for Templar Assassin`s Meld, and his burst damage and high attack damage is easily nullified by her Refraction.

• Lina`s low health and single damage instance nukes allow Templar Assassin to be completely protected from a single ability combo from Lina and possibly even instantly kill her with her increased damage and armor reduction. Be that as it may, her Fiery Soul does give her high attack speed, and her high attack range can remove some Refraction charges if Lanaya is spotted before she can get close.

• While Huskar`s Burning Spears may be a deadly ability against Lanaya, if she is quick enough, she can quickly kill Huskar as his high magic resistance does not protect against Lanaya`s high physical damage.

• Necrophos` only spammable spell, Death Pulse has a long enough cooldown to not be able to tear through Refraction very easily, and without proper items, he is a fragile Hero, easily taken down by Lanaya`s burst damage. And should his health degeneration bring her to Reaper`s Scythe` threshold, if she`s quick enough, Refraction can completely protect her from the spell`s effects, wasting it.

Works well with...

• Vengeful Spirit`s Nether Swap and Magic Missile are a very good combination with Templar Assassin. Psionic Trap`s slow lasts for a short time, so Vengeful Spirit can provide the means to stop enemies from escaping and bring them to Templar Assassin`s range. Her armor reduction and damage-boosting aura can also aid her in team fights, allowing her to deal even more damage.

• Templar Assassin lacks any form of hard disables. Slardar is a good initiator with an AoE stun that deals physical damage. This allows him to initiate for her and deal high damage against groups of enemies with her Psi Blades. In addition, Templar Assassin relies solely on doing burst physical damage, so Slardar`s Corrosive Haze will increase the damage that she inflicts on her target (which can then be spilled onto other targets via Psi Blades).

• Repel gives Templar Assassin much needed magic immunity, and his Purification heals her instantly and deals pure damage to nearby enemies, which might be sure to get hit due to Lanaya`s short attack range.

• Drow Ranger`s Precision Aura can add onto Templar Assassin`s already high damage, as she benefits from this for she is a ranged Hero despite her abysmal base range. Traxex` Frost Arrows also give an additional slow along with Lanaya`s own traps, preventing an enemy from escaping, and her Gust silences heroes with escape mechanisms, such as Puck or Anti-Mage.
