Wraith King counters & matchups
Wraith King is a tanky carry whose Reincarnation lets him fight, die, and fight again, backed by Wraithfire Blast stun, lifesteal, and a Mortal Strike crit. He out-tanks and out-lasts immobile heroes: Nature's Prophet, Templar Assassin and Gyrocopter simply can't kill him twice. Wraith King is countered by break, AoE, and mana-burn that beat his passives: Phantom Lancer and Meepo bury him in more bodies than his crits can clear, and Undying melts him down in long brawls. Draft tip: Wraith King is a forgiving, ultra-tanky carry into squishy drafts; he's countered by break (Silver Edge), AoE clear, and mana-burn line-ups.

Wraith King synergies
Wraith King is a premier second core — his Reincarnation tankiness and lifesteal make him a fearless front line for any team. He pairs best with snowball cores and AoE setup: Spectre and Techies thrive behind his durable engage, while Riki picks off whatever WK locks with Wraithfire Blast. Give Wraith King an aura/AoE partner (and his Aghs army), and his unkillable front line wins extended fights.
