Bad against...
- Fiend's Grip and Nightmare are very useful to lock down Void Spirit.
- Brain Sap can be difficult for Void Spirit to deal with in the laning stage.
- Rupture will fully damage Void Spirit during his ultimate, removing his main escape mechanic during fights and his way to disrupt them heavily.
- Blood Rite will force Void Spirit to use Dissimilate or Astral Step or be silenced. In the latter's case, it can be dangerous when combined with Rupture.
- Spirit Siphon and Exorcism can damage through his Resonant Pulse shields.
- Silence can prevent Void Spirit escape or contributing much in fights.
- One hit with Jinada should be sufficient in removing Void Spirit's shield most of the time.
- Track negates much of Void Spirit's escape abilities by revealing his position and prevents him from rotating effectively.
- Doom is effective against every hero, and Void Spirit is no exception. Being unable to cast spells or items during fights for 16 seconds nullifies his impact entirely.
- Doom has a very versatile build and can consume creeps which has abilities that can stun or provide additional magic resistance.
- Doom's high strength gain and versatility in items can be effective against Void Spirit's magical damage.
- Ember Spirit has much higher mobility in Fire Remnant than Void Spirit.
- Ember's Flame Guard is effective against Void Spirit's spells, as most of them deal magical damage.
- The root from Searing Chains prevents Void Spirit from using Dissimilate or Astral Step.
- Meepo's Earthbind can easily lockdown Void Spirit.
- Meepo and his clones can easily burst Void Spirit's Resonant Pulse.
- Dream Coil prevents the usage of Void Spirit's escape abilities and limits his damage output in fights almost entirely.
- Killing Puck in the late game becomes difficult when they obtain a Eul's Scepter of Divinity, Blink Dagger, and Phase Shift.
- Queen of Pain can Blink to both escape and initiate onto Void Spirit.
- She is also a very common Orchid Malevolence carrier, which can prevent Void Spirit from contributing much in fights.
- Wins on the central line, thanks to its strong nukes Shadowraze, because of which Void Spirit cannot approach the creeps to farm gold and overtake Shadow Fiend by level
- The brutal physical damage of Slithereen Crush and Bash of the Deep can quickly remove Void Spirit's shield and stun him for a while.
- Corrosive Haze provides vision of Void Spirit while he is running away and Guardian Sprint allows Slardar to quickly close the gap
- Refraction negates all of Void Spirit's burst damage.
- Meld quickly burns through Resonant Pulse.
- Poison Attack makes it hard for Void Spirit to lane against him.
- Corrosive Skin reduces the magical damage from Void Spirit's spells.
Others
- Side lanes with disables will greatly reduce the likeliness Void Spirit will be willing to rotate: Sven, Tiny, Wraith King, Ogre Magi.
- Heroes that can purge his slow and disables are very difficult to go on and their team: Abaddon, Oracle.
- Heroes who can match Void Spirit's mobility (like the aforementioned Ember Spirit or Queen of Pain) or tank his spells ( Dragon Knight or Centaur Warrunner) are very problematic for him.
- Heroes with burst damage of their own won't be afraid to go toe to toe with Void Spirit, like Ursa, Lifestealer, or Axe.
- Special mention to Legion Commander, as she can lock down Void Spirit for a long amount of time without worrying too much about being killed by him during the Duel.
Items
- Orchid Malevolence and Bloodthorn shut down Void Spirit completely with the silence.
- Hood of Defiance and Pipe of Insight will help reduce Void Spirit's burst damage.
- None of his spells besides his ultimate pierces spell immunity, making Black King Bar a good item against him.
Good against...
- Void Spirit's AoE damage make short work of Broodmother's spiderlings
- Broodmother cannot escape Void Spirit's mobility, even in her webs.
- Void Spirit's high mobility becomes a nuisance to Terrorblade.
- Void Spirit's arsenal of magic damage is effective against Terrorblade's low strength.
- Terrorblade has no disables to prevent Void Spirit from escaping.
- Void Spirit can easily dodge Gyrocopter's Homing Missile with the help of Dissimilate.
- Void Spirit can partly dodge Call Down via Dissimilate or move out of its range with Astral Step.
- Gyrocopter has no escape abilities, which benefits Void Spirit's high mobility.
- A good choice against Invoker, as it has some advantage with the help of abilities.
- With the Dissimilate, Voidspirit can evade Invoker's skills, like Chaos Meteor or E.M.P., going to another world where he does not receive damage. The same ability to run away or attack quickly.
- Astral Step moves quickly from point to point, which also reduces the Invoker's probability that he will hit him with skills and cause at least some damage.
- Void Spirit can greatly pressure Morphling's farm, which is very bad for a hero who needs a large amount of space.
- Waveform does not provide better mobility than Astral Step.
- If Morphling shifted all of his strength to agility, he can be bursted down by Void Spirit before he can react.
- Doing an Ethereal Blade combo on Void Spirit is incredibly difficult, as Dissimilate and Astral Step can allow him to escape or dodge the projectile.
- Keeping Void Spirit inside Wukong's Command is a very tricky task, especially in the early and mid game. In addition, if Monkey King is in a bad position, a well placed Aether Remnant can easily pull him out of the ring.
- Getting stacks of Jingu Mastery can be difficult when attacking Void Spirit.
- Void Spirit deals entirely magical damage in the early game, ignoring her evasion from Windrun.
- A Void Spirit with fast reaction time can use Dissimilate or Astral Step to dodge Powershot.
Others
- Void Spirit is strong against heroes who cannot deal with his rotations due to his mobility. Such heroes include Spectre, Gyrocopter, Morphling, and Chen.
- Heroes who take a long time to become strong are in for a rough mid game, such as Outworld Destroyer, Magnus, Medusa, and Anti-Mage.
- Heroes that can summon units will have their summons destroyed very quickly if badly micro-managed, like Chen, Lycan, and Phantom Lancer.
Works well with...

- A good Meat Hook can drag an enemy into an Aether Remnant or a Dissimilate portal.
- Pugna's Decrepify provides a slow and lowers the enemy's magic resistance, thus making Void Spirit's spells more effective.
- Bane's Fiend's Grip provides a way to lock down enemies and synergies with Veil of Discord.
- Nightmare is a good setup to land Void Spirit's Aether Remnant and Dissimilate.
- Void's magical damage is enhanced by Enfeeble.
