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...
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Pugna hates heroes who can easily jump on him, and Void Spirit is easily capable of doing that via Astral Step.
- Dissimilate and Astral Step will easily allow Void Spirit to dodge Nether Blast.
- Decrepify will make him or an ally more vulnerable to Void Spirit's spells.
- Void Spirit's spells do not cost a lot of mana, making Nether Ward not as effective against him.
- Life Drain can easily be canceled by Dissimilate, Aether Remnant, or using Astral Step to break the link.
- 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.
- 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 Devourer, 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...
- With the mana and cooldown reduction provided by Keeper of the Light's Chakra Magic ,Void Spirit will be able dish out damage quickly and efficiently.
- Void Spirit deals massive amounts of damage, although his skills are hard to land. Dismember can alleviate those issues via its lockdown.
- Because one of the main items for Void Spirit is a Veil of Discord, Pudge's Rot and Dismember will deal more damage.
- 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.
- Rupture will force enemies to stay in place, making it very easy for Void Spirit to deal damage to them.
- Void Spirit loves to disrupt fights, the perfect kind of hero for Bloodseeker to count on while he picks off heroes.
