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, Nature's Prophet and Tinker die to a single combo. Lina is countered by gap-closers and tanks that survive her burst: Spectre, Wraith King and Axe walk through Laguna and crush her fragile frame; Riki 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 and Wraith King hold the line while Lina nukes, and Tidehunter or Night Stalker provide the AoE control that lets her free-cast. Lifestealer clears the front while she bursts the back. Give Lina setup and her combo removes a key hero every fight.
