How this matchup plays
Picking Medusa into an Ancient Apparition often feels safer than you might expect. His Ice Blast prevents health regeneration, but Medusa’s core survivability comes from Mana Shield, which the ultimate doesn't stop. This lets her endure teamfights where other durable heroes would crumble from being unable to heal. Medusa can also use Stone Gaze to disrupt Ancient Apparition's positioning from a safe distance.
