How this matchup plays
Thinking you can run at Nyx Assassin as a farmed Bristleback is a common trap. It feels like it should work, but Nyx has exactly the right tools to handle it. His Mana Burn leaves Bristleback completely dry, unable to cast Quill Spray or Goo to sustain a fight. If Bristleback does manage to get close and start spamming, a well-timed Spiked Carapace returns the damage and a stun. To make matters worse, breaking Bristleback’s passive with Vendetta turns him from a tank into an easy target. He’s left unable to fight, unable to tank, and unable to run away.
