Nyx Assassin counters & matchups
Nyx Assassin is an anti-caster ganker whose Mana Burn punishes high-intelligence heroes, Spiked Carapace reflects stuns, and Vendetta enables invisible burst pickoffs. He hard-counters int-reliant heroes: Outworld Destroyer loses to Mana Burn, and Timbersaw, Tinker and Morphling get bursted from stealth. Nyx is countered by illusions and tanks his single burst can't handle: Meepo, Wraith King and Lifestealer out-body or out-tank him, while Night Stalker hunts him. Draft tip: Nyx is a premium anti-mage pickoff support into intelligence/squishy drafts; he's weaker into illusion comps and tanky hard-carries.

Nyx Assassin synergies
Nyx Assassin picks off squishy targets with Vendetta and bursts casters with Impale + Mana Burn — he wants follow-up that punishes the pick. He pairs best with snowball cores and lockdown: Spectre and Wraith King convert his ambushes into a man-advantage, while Tidehunter locks the enemy he bursts. Give Nyx a kill-hungry team and his Vendetta pickoffs strangle the enemy's casters and supports.
