Riki counters & matchups
Riki is a permanent-invisibility assassin who Smoke-silences, Blink-Strikes from behind, and shreds isolated targets — a nightmare for squishy, immobile heroes. He utterly dominates fragile mids and supports: Mars, Storm Spirit and Puck get picked off before they react. Riki is countered by detection and AoE that ignores his invisibility: Spectre out-scales and Dispersions him, Meepo hunts him with multiple bodies, and Wraith King out-tanks his burst. Draft tip: Riki is a brutal pickoff pick into low-detection, squishy line-ups; he falls off into teams with sentries, AoE, and tanky hard-carries.

Riki synergies
Riki picks off isolated targets and silences clumps with Smoke Screen — he wants a team that punishes the pickoff and provides vision control. He pairs best with snowball cores and AoE: Spectre and Wraith King convert his picks into a man-advantage wipe, while Tidehunter and Necrophos lock and burst whatever he ambushes. Dawnbreaker front-lines for him. Give Riki a follow-up team and his constant pickoffs strangle the enemy's map.
