Spirit Breaker counters & matchups
Spirit Breaker is a global ganker whose Charge of Darkness barrels across the map to bash a target, with Greater Bash and Nether Strike for lockdown. He's strong into immobile heroes his Charge runs down: Nature's Prophet (57.9%), Broodmother (57.3%) and Timbersaw (57.0%) get charged and bashed to death. Spirit Breaker is countered by tanks and scalers a single Charge can't kill: Spectre (45.5%), Underlord (45.5% — Atrophy saps his damage) and Wraith King (45.8%) out-tank/scale, while Tidehunter (46.7%) out-fights. Draft tip: Spirit Breaker is a strong global pickoff initiator into squishy drafts; he's weaker into tanky, damage-reduction, and hard-carry line-ups.

Spirit Breaker synergies
Spirit Breaker's global Charge delivers a stun anywhere on the map — he's a roaming pickoff engine who wants follow-up on his bashes. He pairs best with snowball cores and durable setup: Spectre (56.6%) Haunts onto whoever he Charges, while Dawnbreaker (55.8%) and Wraith King (55.8%) convert his picks into a man-advantage. Give Spirit Breaker a team that punishes a stunned target and his global Charge snowballs the map from minute one.
