Lina counters & matchups
Lina is a high-burst caster/carry whose Light Strike Array + Laguna Blade can one-shot a hero, and whose attack-speed stacks make her a late-game right-clicker too. She destroys immobile, squishy heroes: Timbersaw (56.3%), Nature's Prophet (55.1%) and Tinker (54.5%) die to a single combo. Lina is countered by gap-closers and tanks that survive her burst: Spectre (41.7%), Wraith King (43.3%) and Axe (43.5%) walk through Laguna and crush her fragile frame; Riki (44.7%) ambushes her. Draft tip: Lina is a premium pick into low-mobility, squishy line-ups; she struggles into dive comps and tanky hard-carries that outlast her nukes.

Lina synergies
Lina brings single-target delete (Laguna Blade) plus AoE stun and damage — she wants targets locked and a front line for her glassy body. She pairs best with lockdown and tanky cores: Spectre (54.5%) and Wraith King (53.4%) hold the line while Lina nukes, and Tidehunter (52.0%) / Night Stalker (51.4%) provide the AoE control that lets her free-cast. Lifestealer (52.0%) clears the front while she bursts the back. Give Lina setup and her combo removes a key hero every fight.
