Bad against...
- Blink can easily break Static Link and Counterspell reflects Static Link on Razor.
- Razor has no way to deal with Chaos Knight's multiple illusions from Phantasm.
- Centaur can use Stampede to break Static Link. It also prevents Razor from chasing Centaur Warruner or his teammates with Eye of the Storm, and Plasma Field's slow will do nothing to slow them down.
- Boulder Smash's and Geomagnetic Grip's (upgraded with Aghanim's Scepter) repositioning and disables make it very difficult for Razor to keep enemies within range of Static Link and Eye of the Storm.
- Life Break along with Burning Spear can quickly kill Razor before Static Link steals enough damage for Razor to take down Huskar.
- Berserker's Blood can make stealing Huskar's damage and using it against him somewhat dangerous, as Huskar will be able to inflict more and more Burning Spears rapidly.
- Static Link is almost completely useless against Morphling, as he is able to quickly break it off with Waveform or turn into Razor himself with Morph and recover all of his stolen damage, or simply steal Razor's own.
- Necrophos usually doesn't build itmes that give attack damage, minimalizing effects of Static Link.
- He can use Ghost Shroud to prevent Razor from attacking him with the stolen damage from Static Link.
- Razor is somewhat vulnerable to magical damage, and Reaper's Scythe prevents him from escaping with his high movement speed when things get dangerous.
- Outworld Destroyer doesn't care if Razor steals his damage because he does most of his damage through Arcane Orb.
- Astral Imprisonment can prevent Razor from using the stolen damage from Static Link or chasing with Eye of the Storm.
- Sanity's Eclipse will do a ton of damage to Razor due to his low mana pool.
- Blink can instantly break Static Link, making it useless against her.
- Queen of Pain doesn't fully rely on her physical attack damage, so she can still fight after being hit with Static Link.
- Pounce can easily break Static Link, making it less powerful against him.
- Slark is one of the few heroes who can man fight a Razor, because of Essence Shift.
- Shadow Dance can prevent Razor from killing him and may provide an opportunity to kill Razor due to it preventing Razor from attacking Slark.
- His increased attack range makes it very hard to get close enough for Static Link, Eye of the Storm and Razor's own attacks.
- Headshot procs will slow Razor heavily regardless of Storm Surge, as it will knock him back for a brief duration.
- Viper's Poison Attack and Viper Strike that can slow Razor, and is one of the few heroes that can keep him immobile.
- Altogether, Viper's skills reduce Razor's attack speed, heavily reducing the benefit of the damage drain from Static Link.
- Shukuchi can break Static Link with little trouble.
- Time Lapse can easily be used to avoid damage from Plasma Field and can recover the damage done from Static Link and Eye of the Storm.
- Eye of the Storm can't kill bugs from The Swarm.
Others
- Dark Seer can increase the movement speed of allies with Surge, breaking Static Link.
- Any hero with teleport abilities (e.g. Ember Spirit, Storm Spirit) can easily break Static Link.
- Heroes who rely on abilities to deal damage (e.g. Timbersaw, Tinker) can fight a Razor even after Static Link.
Items
- Town Portal Scroll transports the user away from Razor as he has no way to interrupt the channeling.
- Linken's Sphere blocks Static Link and Razor has no other tools to pop it.
- Lotus Orb reflects Static Link, wasting its cooldown for a long time.
- Force Staff and Hurricane Pike are easy tools to break Static Link.
Good against...
- Eye of the Storm melts Bristleback's armor, and makes him much less tanky.
- Static Link can completely drain Bristleback's bonus damage from Warpath.
- Static Link drains Earthshaker's bonus damage from Enchant Totem until he purchases an Aghanim's Scepter or Force Staff to break it.
- Eye of the Storm and Plasma Field can disable Earthshaker's Blink Dagger, preventing him from initiating or re-initiating.
- Static Link cannot be dispelled by Rage or Infest, so Razor will be able to track Lifestealer down during an attempted escape.
- Storm Surge makes it hard for Lifestealer to catch Razor.
- Static Link can stop Open Wounds from getting any additional lifesteal, but keep in mind Lifestealer can still utilize Feast.
- Eye of the Storm penetrates the spell immunity of Rage.
- Static Link can steal the bonus damage from Jingu Mastery and reduce the physical damage from Boundless Strike. It also reduces Wukong's Command's damage if it's used after stealing damage via Static Link.
- Static Link will give Razor shared vision on Monkey King if he tries to escape using Tree Dance or Mischief.
- Plasma Field can prevent Monkey King from using Tree Dance and Mischief.
- Eye of the Storm will remove the armor buff from Wukong's Command, as well as hitting Monkey King during Mischief.
- Static Link can lower the damage output from Coup de Grace procs, hindering Phantom Assassin's main source of damage.
- Eye of the Storm strikes cannot be evaded by Blur.
- Both Static Link and Eye of the Storm pierces spell immunity, as Phantom Assassin is often reliant on Black King Bar.
- Plasma Field and Eye of the Storm clears most of Phantom Lancer's illusions.
- Static Link is not dispelled by Doppelganger or Manta Style which can be used to mark the real Phantom Lancer while also draining his base damage.
- Razor's high mobility with Storm Surge makes it hard for Phantom Lancer to chase down with Phantom Rush. When upgraded with Aghanim's Shard, it makes a quick work of his illusions.
- Nether Strike can't remove Static Link and reduces Spirit Breaker's physical damage output.
- Eye of the Storm melts Spirit Breaker's armor, and makes him much less tanky.
- Plasma Field and Eye of the Storm can help Razor clear waves of Terrorblade's illusions.
- Static Link can significantly weakens Terrorblade's damage, even during Metamorphosis, making Terrorblade's attacks tickle while strengthening Razor's attack damage. Terrorblade also lacks escape mechanisms, making Terrorblade a good target for Static Link and forcing Terrorblade to buy Linken's Sphere.
- Storm Surge makes it difficult for Terrorblade to catch Razor, and when upgraded with Aghanim's Shard, it can also deal damage to Terrorblade and his illusions.
- Eye of the Storm can rapidly weaken Terrorblade's armor, which combined with Terrorblade's low health and strength gain can almost completely discourage Terrorblade from even being present in teamfights.
- Static Link and Eye of the Storm cannot be dispelled neither with Manta Style nor blocked by Black King Bar, which can put Terrorblade in a big disadvantage against Razor.
- However, Razor's lack of disables makes it difficult for him to burst down Terrorblade before he can use Sunder unless Razor has either Black King Bar or Linken's Sphere to protect himself against it.
- Static Link is effective against Troll Warlord, as he mainly relies on attack speed more so than damage.
- Static Link is even more effective if Troll Warlord used Battle Trance, as he has no way to break the link.
- Plasma Field can spot an Ursa sneaking into Roshan's pit
- Static Link has a 800 link break distance, meaning Razor can stay close enough to drain Ursa' damage, but not too close to get attacked
- Static Link cannot be dispelled by Lua error in Module:Ability_ID at line 61: Could not find Cargo data for "Enrage".
- With Storm Surge, Razor will usually be faster than Ursa in most cases
- Eye of the Storm melts through Ursa's armor
- Static Link can lower the damage output from Focus Fire.
- Eye of the Storm strikes cannot miss, even if Windrun is active.
Others
- Templar Assassin's Refraction will easily be removed by Eye of the Storm, and Static Link reveals Templar Assassin hiding with Meld and drain the bonus damage from Refraction.
- Heroes who relies on high armor such as Dragon Knight, Tidehunter, and Pudge can be melted by Eye of the Storm.
- Heroes that rely on right-clicks will find themselves unable to damage opponents seriously after being affected by Static Link, like Sven, Bloodseeker, and Juggernaut.
Works well with...

- Disruption will help Static Link steal more damage while banished.
- Astral Imprisonment will help Static Link steal more damage while banished.
- Nightmare allows Razor to easy steal damage with Static Link.
- Fiend's Grip, like Nightmare, allows Razor to easily steal damage with Static Link.
- Despite its short duration, Lucent Beam's stun is useful to help Razor steal lot of attack damage from enemy heroes with Static Link.
- Lunar Blessing can give Razor bonus attack damage to help her farm during the laning phase and while Static Link is unavailable for Razor to use.
- Eclipse and Eye of the Storm can often kill enemy heroes will little problems, especially when both abilities are upgraded with Aghanim's Scepter.
- Moon Glaives and Lunar Blessing can help Razor push lanes of creeps and towers with ease when combined with Aghanim's Scepter upgraded Eye of the Storm.
- Ensnare will help Razor to fully steal an enemy's damage (preferably their carry in the middle of a fight) with Static Link.
- Cold Embrace doesn't hinder Razor's contribution to fights, provided that he has already casted Eye of the Storm, or is already stealing the damage of an enemy hero with Static Link.
- Winter's Curse makes it easier for Razor to get close by and steal the damage of any affected hero with Static Link, or to reduce the armor of the affected target with Eye of the Storm.
Others
- Heroes with long-lasting disables such as Lion, Shadow Shaman, and Puck synergize well with Static Link, increasing its effective duration.
