Faceless Void Counters

Items

• Orchid Malevolence can render Faceless Void unable to cast his spells in a team fight. It can also prevent Faceless Void from escaping a chase.
• Scythe of Vyse prevents Faceless Void from casting any spells or items as well as attacking. Scythe of Vyse is a more reliable counter to Faceless Void than Orchid Malevolence provided Faceless Void has no source of dispel or magic immunity.
• Force Staff can be used to move a team mate that gets caught out away from Faceless Void... But it doesn`t move targets that are already caught inside Chronosphere.
• Eul`s Scepter of Divinity can stop Void from acting in his Chronosphere, protecting whoever he trapped inside; for half the price of a Scythe of Vyse.

• Disruption is effective against Chronosphere. It can also be used to prevent Void from Time Walking the damage off, although the mana cost may not be worth it if you want to spam Shadow Poison.
• Shadow Poison is slow damage that Shadow Demon can stack up and trigger after Void uses Time Walk, making it hard for Void to stay in lane without plenty of regen.
• The amplification from Soul Catcher is great against Void in most situations, since he usually builds survival and sustain items. Impossible to dispel.
• Demonic Purge is a great slow with delayed damage, possibly forcing out a Time Walk early and dealing "permanent" damage. Cannot be dispelled. Void can teleport out or blink away however.
  • Can break For the passive ability of Tranquil Boots, see here. Break is a status effect that disables passive abilities from those affected. It does not disable passive components from items such as evasion from Talisman of Time Lock with Aghanim`s Scepter   Item   Upgraded Abilities   Old Abilities   Lore   Changelogs     Aghanim s Scepter The scepter of a wizard with demigod-like powers.

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

• Meat Hook can pull an ally out of Chronosphere.
• Rot will keep damaging Void if he toggled it before Chronosphere. A double-edged sword, but more dangerous to Faceless Void than to Pudge.
• Flesh Heap will help Pudge survive through the Chronosphere with enough stacks, and follow with Dismember. The extra magic resistance also mildly protects him from Time Lock`s magical damage.

Silencer   Hero   Strategy   Counters   Equipment   Gear   Responses   Sounds   Lore   Old Abilities   Changelogs     Silencer 17 + 2.5 22 + 3 27 + 2.5 Level Base

• Good players will cast Global Silence as Void is jumping in and stop his initiation. Or at least it will stop his allies from combo-ing with the Chronosphere.

• Entry

Good against...

• Faceless Void can freeze Slark`s low cooldown spells like Dark Pact and Pounce with Time Dilation which renders Slark unable to escape after he used them for the first time.

• Chronosphere, while not revealing Slark during Shadow Dance, it covers the whole duration of Shadow Dance and thus makes him unable to use it to attack or escape. Slark still receives the regeneration benefit from Shadow Dance

• Time Dilation makes it impossible to spam Quill Spray and Viscous Nasal Goo, rendering Bristleback nearly useless
• Bristleback cannot turn inside the Chronosphere, which makes it easy to attack him from the front, completely bypassing his passive damage reduction

• Chronosphere can catch Invoker`s Ghost Walk, building up Attack Damage and Daedalus would be an end to Invoker`s mediocre health pool.
• All of Invoker`s hidden cooldowns are affected by time dilation, so Faceless Void can easily slow him by 80% or more.

• Time Dilation affects Shukuchi, making Weaver an easy target to pick off in lane.

Works well with...

• Chronosphere can help to set up an ideal situation for Chain Frost to affect as many enemy heroes as possible.

• Witch Doctor can cast Death Ward outside of the Chronosphere and hit enemy heroes within it.

• Macropyre can deal tons of damage to the units trapped inside Chronosphere.
