Also known as: Visage, Necrolic
Visage (Visage, Necrolic) in Dota 2 7.41: win rate, pick rate, the heroes Visage counters and struggles against, and its best teammates — from recent ranked matches by Batru's AI win-prediction pipeline.
Visage is a pressure core whose Familiars (stone gargoyles) provide burst, stun, and split-push, while Grave Chill and Gravekeeper's Cloak make him hard to burst. He's strong into immobile heroes his Familiars harass and pick off: Tinker (57.7%), Nature's Prophet (56.9%) and Timbersaw (56.8%) get out-pressured. Visage is countered by AoE that clears his birds and divers who reach him: Riki (45.3%) ambushes him, Phantom Lancer (45.4%) and Naga Siren (45.7%) out-body him, and Spectre (46.7%) out-scales. Draft tip: Visage is a strong micro-intensive pickoff + push core into squishy drafts; he's weaker into AoE-clear and hard-dive line-ups that erase his Familiars.

Visage's Familiars deliver burst and a multi-target stun, and his presence pressures the map — he wants follow-up that punishes his pickoffs. He pairs best with snowball and AoE cores: Wraith King (55.7%) and Phoenix (55.2%) capitalize on the targets his birds lock, while Vengeful Spirit (55.3%) amps the physical damage of his Familiars and team. Give Visage a follow-up carry and his bird-stun pickoffs plus split push grind the enemy down.
