Puck counters & matchups
Puck is a slippery magic-burst mid whose Phase Shift dodges everything and Dream Coil punishes grouped enemies. It beats immobile, telegraphed heroes: Timbersaw, Mars and Shadow Demon can't reliably pin a hero that phases out of every cast. Puck is hard-countered by permanent-presence threats it can't juke: Spectre Haunts in from anywhere, Night Stalker hunts it at night, and Riki ambushes from invisibility. Draft tip: Puck excels into single-target, skillshot mids; it struggles into Spectre, Riki, Night Stalker, and any draft that ignores its slippery positioning.

Puck synergies
Puck's Dream Coil rewards a team that can pile onto coiled, snapped targets — it's pure teamfight setup. It pairs best with AoE follow-up and durable cores: Spectre and Wraith King crash onto the coil, while Tidehunter stacks Ravage with Dream Coil for an inescapable lockdown combo. Lifestealer and Dawnbreaker clean up everything trapped. Give Puck a team that punishes a grouped, coiled enemy and its initiation wins fights outright.
