Underlord counters & matchups
Underlord is a tanky offlaner whose Firestorm zones lanes, Atrophy Aura saps enemy damage, and Dark Rift teleports the whole team for a surprise push or defense. He dominates immobile heroes his Firestorm grinds: Nature's Prophet, Timbersaw and Mars get zoned and worn down. Underlord is countered by spell-theft and sustain that ignore his aura: Rubick steals his kit, Lifestealer Rages through Firestorm, and Chen or Night Stalker out-tempo him. Draft tip: Underlord is a strong teamfight tank + global-push core into squishy melee drafts; he's weaker into Rubick and sustain hard-carries.

Underlord synergies
Underlord's Atrophy Aura makes the enemy hit like wet noodles while his Dark Rift creates unstoppable global pushes. He pairs best with carries who exploit the safe, damage-reduced fights: Meepo and Wraith King farm and fight behind his tankiness, while Bloodseeker snowballs off the Firestorm zone. Give Underlord a carry to Dark Rift onto a tower and his global push + aura makes objectives almost free.
