Bad against...
Anti-Mage- Anti-Mage`s Mana Break can prevent Wraith King from reincarnating.
- With 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 , his Mana burning will increase to 3 times because illusions can also use Mana Break.
- Invoker can drain Wraith King`s mana with EMP, preventing him from reincarnating.
- Even if Wraith King survives and reincarnates, Invoker still has an arsenal of spells to lockdown Wraith King.
- Wraith King is not good at handling illusion-based heroes, as his only disable is single-target.
- Phantom Lancer tends to get 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 , leaving Wraith King no mana to reincarnate.
- While not being able to confront Wraith King by himself, Lion`s Mana Drain helps in draining Wraith King`s mana, preventing him from reincarnating.
- Lion`s Earth Spike and Hex provide decent lockdown against Wraith King as well, preventing the latter from benefiting from Vampiric Aura bonuses
- Weaver can run away after killing Wraith King once thanks to Shukuchi.
- Wraithfire Blast is quite predictable. If Weaver is quick, he will disjoint it with Shukuchi and proceed to chase Wraith King down.
- Shukuchi does have a fade time. They cannot disjoint it if you use it right next to them. They will be stunned and take damage; however they will still become invisible if they used Shukuchi before the stun hits.
- Weaver can easily harass Wraith King out of his lane thanks to his high base damage and Geminate Attack.
- After Wraith King reincarnates, Luna will have good chance to finish him with Eclipse.
- It is not important how much Wraith King is tanky and bulky, Luna will always be able to outplay and outcarry almost any Strength carry hero.
- Riki is a 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 carrier.
- Riki can use Smoke Screen on top of you as you`re reincarnating, making you a sitting duck for your second life
- Wraithfire Blast is quite predictable. Players with good reflexes will disjoint it with Tricks of the Trade.
- There is also a chance he will become invisible again as the projectile travels, disjointing it.
- Wraith King has no form of AOE to clear Chaos Knight illusions.
- Wraith King is very vulnerable if he reincarnates in the middle of his illusions.
Others
- Heroes with summons and illusions such as Broodmother Hero Strategy Counters Equipment Gear Responses Sounds Lore Old Abilities Changelogs Known Bugs Broodmother 17 + 2.8 18 + 2.2 18 + and Naga Siren For the race in Dota 2 lore, see Naga. Hero Strategy Counters Equipment Gear Responses Sounds Lore Old Abilities Changelogs Known Bugs , are ill-suited for Wraith King to fight, as he has no any kind of waveclear.
- Meepo can farm faster and has advantage of speed attack and Geostrike. Wraith King who has only single target stun can`t handle all Meepo. But his talent which stuns while Reincarnation will make Meepo be disadvantageous.
- Arc Warden and his Tempest Double bully Wraith King who has single target stun by using all of his skills and item.
Good against...
Bloodseeker Hero Strategy Counters Equipment Gear Responses Sounds Lore Old Abilities Changelogs Known Bugs Bloodseeker 23 + 2.7 24 + 3 18 +- While Wraith King`s Reincarnation is off-cooldown, Rupture is meaningless.
- Wraith King`s Vampiric Aura and Mortal Strike prevent Bloodseeker from achieving Thirst bonuses.
- Even when Doomed, Wraith King can tear down Doom with physical attacks, and can still reincarnate as long as it is off-cooldown.
- Be that as it may, Wraith King players should be careful when facing against Doom players who farmed Aghanim`s Scepter, since the Aghanim upgrade disable his two passive abilities, weakening his right-click attacks.
- Wraith King makes a poor Duel target, as he can be already quite hard to bring down once, and then you you have to worry about his second life.
- Wraith King`s Mortal Strike deals more damage against Lone Druid`s Spirit Bear as it is counted as a creep-hero.
- While Wraith King`s Reincarnation isn`t on cooldown, Reaper`s Scythe can`t kill him.
- In the laning stage, odds are Vampiric Aura will out-heal the slow DoT from Heartstopper Aura.
- Wraith King is not afraid to walk wherever he goes with his Reincarnation ready.
- While Wraith King still has Reincarnation, He can payback Axe who hardly build single target immune item with his Wraithfire`s Blast.
- His Vampiric Aura and Mortal Strike save him from Berserker`s Call though Axe launch his Blademail, but make sure you have enough physical defense.
- Though he is killed by Culling`s Blade, if he has Reincarnation. Axe`s buff from Culling`s Blade is meaningless.
Works well with...
Ursa- Vampiric Aura allows Ursa to do early Roshan without the need to buy any lifesteal items first.
- Wraithfire Blast stun and slow allows Ursa to easily prey on enemy heroes.
- Vampiric Aura increases Huskar`s sustainability even more.
- The combination of Vampiric Aura and Troll Warlord`s high DPS makes Troll Warlord almost unkillable.
- Bloodrage significantly increases the damage of Wraith king`s attacks (Especially with Mortal Strike crits). Since Wraith King is really tanky and can afford death thanks to his ultimate; this spell works really well with him
