Many hands make light work.
This article is badly written or needs more information. Please help the community by updating it. Read this formatting guide first.
Bad against...
- Blink allows Anti-Mage to get on top of Lina and kill her with his Mana Break.
- Counterspell makes Anti-Mage tanky against Lina's heavy magic damage.
- Mana Void is very strong against Lina, who has a high mana pool and quickly depletes it during fights.
- Time Walk will easily bactrack Lina burst damage and especially Laguna Blade if not timed correctly.
- Rage protects from all Lina's abilities (except upgraded Laguna Blade).
- Open Wounds is great to keep Lina in place because she has no abilities to help her escape.
- Lua error in Module:Ability_ID at line 61: Could not find Cargo data for "Mana Burn". does tons of damage against Lina because of her high intelligence. The mana burn also prevents Lina from casting her full combo.
- Spiked Carapace can easily be used to counter Lina's abilities, because of their long cast animation and particularly reflects against timed Laguna Blade.
- Doppelganger can be used to easily dodge Light Strike Array if timed correctly.
- Phantom Lancer could quickly deplete Lina's mana pool with the help of his illusions and deals massive damage from it simultaneously since Phantom Lancer is a natural Diffusal Blade carrier.
- Arcane Curse discourages Lina from using her abilities, preventing her from building up Fiery Soul stacks.
- Last Word and Global Silence are great against Lina for the same reason.
- Dark Pact can be cast during the cast animation of Light Strike Array and dispel its stun.
- Pounce allows Slark to close the gap to Lina.
- Shadow Dance prevents Lina from killing Slark with her Laguna Blade when his hp gets low.
- Spectral Dagger and Haunt allow Spectre to get close to Lina.
- Desolate is very strong against Lina, who's usually a bit isolated in fights because of her high attack and cast range.
- Dispersion can mitigate a good portion of Lina's burst damage, allowing Spectre to turn on her afterwards.
- Sven has high health pool and is natural Black King Bar holder and is very hard to kill for Lina.
- Same time he has high physical burst damage and if he manages to stun Lina - it's hard for her to survive.
- Nethertoxin prevents a buildup of Fiery Soul.
- Corrosive Skin takes a damage from Lina's high damage burst.

Items

- Blade Mail can be used to reflect Lina's burst damage back to her.

Good against...
- Sniper is one of low mobilty heroes in game and Lina can easy stun him and setup her nuke.

- necro should choose between Lina high magical damage or her attacks combo.
- Lina deal huge damage with Laguna Blade when he use Ghost Shroud.

- Crystal Maiden's Freezing Field is channeling, Lina can use her Light Strike Array to cancel it easily.
- Enchantress has pitiful health. She cannot tank Lina's heavy magic damage.
- Untouchable is decently countered by Fiery Soul, exposing Enchantress' weakness to physical damage due to her low armor.

Works well with...
- Disruption can set up Light Strike Array.
- Lua error in Module:Ability_ID at line 61: Could not find Cargo data for "Soul Catcher". heavily amplifies Lina's damage giving her even more burst damage.
- Storm Hammer can ensure a perfect Light Strike Array.
- Lina's long range makes her a great support to lane with Sven and harass the enemy.
- Decrepify can hugely increase Lina's magic damage output. The slow acts as a setup for Light Strike Array.
