Phantom Assassin/Counters

• View history

Bad against... [ | ]

• Phantom Assassin's low health pool early on makes her susceptible to Brain Sap and Fiend's Grip's heavy nuke damage.

• Because Phantom Assassin is always reliant on critical strikes, Broodmother will usually have enough time to use Spin Web to save herself.

• Even though Phantom Assassin can easily kill Luna in few strikes, Luna can also do the same to Phantom Assassin if she is not careful.

• Puck relies mainly on magical burst damage, which Phantom Assassin is most vulnerable against.

• Overall, any attempt for Phantom Assassin to take down Slark will hurt her more than Slark.

• While Phantom Assassin can kill Skywrath Mage in a few strikes, Skywrath Mage can also do the same to her if she is not careful.

• Phantom Assassin has a moderate health pool and usually appears in the front line of battle, making her vulnerable to Timbersaw's magic burst.

• Sniper's lack of mobility and reliance on attack range makes him an easy target for Phantom Assassin to jump on.

• Heroes who lack escape mechanisms or disables are all easy targets for Phantom Assassin if they are not careful.

Works well with... [ | ]

• Phantom Assassin counter picks: who to choose against this hero in Dota 2

Phantom Assassin is a light lane character that deals only physical damage. Due to the lack of skills for a support, Phantom is played as a carry or mid.

Who can counter Phantom Assassin

Phantom is superior to physical damage characters due to its ability to dodge hits. But magical or pure damage can easily kill the hero.

Due to the impressive amount of damage, Phantom is well countered by such characters as Axe and Timbersaw .

Prior to acquiring the Black King Bar, PA is also outclassed by the following heroes :

• Storm Spirit;

Of course, even though these characters have excellent chances to counter Phantom Assassin, this is only half of the mission. An important role is played by the experience and reaction of the player himself.

Counters & teammates, hero peak times, winrate & pickrate trends, phantom assassin counters and synergyes.

Advantage (Adv) - The difference between the actual winrate of the heroes and the expected winrate from their base winrates. Example: Let's take two heroes, Superman, with a general winrate of 53%, and Lex Luthor, with a general winrate of 47%. When they meet on the battlefield they each have a statistical winrate of 50%. In this case it's obvious that, even if they have the same winrate when they battle, there is some sort of innate statistical advantage that Lex Luthor (average winrate 47% but 50% against Superman) has over Superman (average winrate 53% but 50% against Lex Luthor). There are many theories about why this happens, but the most common one is related to Kryptonite.

Winrate (WR) - The winrate between the two heroes.

Hero team xp advantage throughout the game.

Each line in the graph represents the probability that Phantom Assassin brings an advantage to the total XP of a team at a certain point in time (the probability to change the inclination of the xp graph).

The most important thing that will help you in the fight against PA is to prevent her from finishing off creeps and getting gold. Mortred really needs items, and without gold, she simply won’t buy them. If you also kill her once or twice at the beginning of the game, then it will be very difficult for her to comeback. Heroes who have an impressive supply of health from the beginning of the game or heroes with a ranged attack that will constantly drive her away from creeps are best suited. At the same time, Mortred will try to finish off at least something with the help of a dagger. Due to this, we charge the Magic Wand and will still be in the plus.

Omni has the ability to restore health and deal with pure damage. Most importantly, this is his ultimate ability, which prevents physical damage for 10 seconds. So, this is the best pick at the moment, not only for PA, but for all heroes who use physical attacks.

Publicado originalmente por You now : Okay so I picked an Intelligence hero, but now PA is oneshotting me with RNG! You didn't tell me that Int. heroes are about as squishy as raw meat!

Publicado originalmente por Edit : Hexing PA with Scythe will also disable her evasion, apperantly.

Publicado originalmente por You know : Alright. So I picked a hero that counters PA. I bought (or will buy) items that counter PA. Is there anything else I should be doing.
