Ursa counters & matchups
Ursa is a single-target shredder whose Fury Swipes stack on repeated hits, Overpower grants burst attack speed, and Enrage tanks him through a duel — he kills any one hero (and Roshan) absurdly fast. He's strong into immobile heroes he locks onto: Timbersaw (56.5%), Nature's Prophet (53.9%) and Tinker (53.5%) melt in seconds. Ursa is hard-countered by tanks, illusions, and scalers: Spectre (he wins just 39.8%) reflects and out-scales, Wraith King (40.2%) respawns through Enrage, and Naga Siren (43.0%) / Phantom Lancer (43.0%) drown his single-target focus in illusions. Draft tip: Ursa is a vicious early-Roshan, single-target carry into squishy drafts; he's countered by illusions, Spectre, and tanky hard-carries.

Ursa synergies
Ursa kills one hero faster than anyone, but he's all-in and squishy — he wants lockdown to pin his target and a save for his dive. He pairs best with control and durable cores: Spectre (52.1%) and Wraith King (52.1%) provide the front line and follow-up, while Meepo (52.0%) shares the snowball tempo. A pocket save (Dazzle, Oracle) on Ursa is ideal. Give him lockdown and his Fury Swipes delete the enemy carry on contact.
