Bad against...

Anti-Mage icon
  • Blink (Anti-Mage) icon Blink allows Anti-Mage to get on top of Lina and kill her with his Mana Break icon Mana Break.
  • Counterspell icon Counterspell makes Anti-Mage tanky against Lina's heavy magic damage.
  • Mana Void icon Mana Void is very strong against Lina, who has a high mana pool and quickly depletes it during fights.
Faceless Void icon
  • Time Walk icon Time Walk will easily bactrack Lina burst damage and especially Laguna Blade if not timed correctly.
Lifestealer icon
  • Rage icon Rage protects from all Lina's abilities (except upgraded Laguna Blade).
  • Open Wounds icon Open Wounds is great to keep Lina in place because she has no abilities to help her escape.
Nyx Assassin icon
  • 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 icon Spiked Carapace can easily be used to counter Lina's abilities, because of their long cast animation and particularly reflects against timed Laguna Blade.
Phantom Lancer icon
  • Doppelganger icon 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 icon Diffusal Blade carrier.
Silencer icon
  • Arcane Curse icon Arcane Curse discourages Lina from using her abilities, preventing her from building up Fiery Soul stacks.
  • Last Word icon Last Word and Global Silence icon Global Silence are great against Lina for the same reason.
Slark icon
  • Dark Pact icon Dark Pact can be cast during the cast animation of Light Strike Array and dispel its stun.
  • Pounce icon Pounce allows Slark to close the gap to Lina.
  • Shadow Dance icon Shadow Dance prevents Lina from killing Slark with her Laguna Blade when his hp gets low.
Spectre icon
  • Spectral Dagger icon Spectral Dagger and Haunt icon Haunt allow Spectre to get close to Lina.
  • Desolate icon Desolate is very strong against Lina, who's usually a bit isolated in fights because of her high attack and cast range.
  • Dispersion icon Dispersion can mitigate a good portion of Lina's burst damage, allowing Spectre to turn on her afterwards.
Sven icon
  • Sven has high health pool and is natural Black King Bar icon 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.
Viper icon

  • Lina is decent at clearing creeps and can kill Enchantress' creeps quickly.
Mirana icon
  • Moonlight Shadow icon Moonlight Shadow does little good against Dragon Slave and Light Strike Array.
  • Lina's damage burst can quickly kill Mirana's teammate before she saves them with Moonlight Shadow icon Moonlight Shadow.

Works well with...

  • Lina's long range makes her a great support to lane with Sven and harass the enemy.
