Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Nyx Assassin wins the Hoodwink vs Nyx Assassin matchup: Nyx Assassin beats Hoodwink in 55.19% of 1,406 ranked matches.
Trying to burst down Nyx Assassin often ends with Hoodwink stunning herself instead. His Spiked Carapace completely turns her Sharpshooter or Acorn Shot combo against her, making him an almost impossible target to kill alone. Beyond that one-on-one interaction, Nyx excels at hunting the squirrel. Vendetta lets him find Hoodwink while she's trying to position in the trees for a Bushwhack, and a single Impale is usually enough to lock her down for the kill. Even during laning, Mana Burn is especially punishing against her small mana pool, leaving her without resources to fight back or escape. Hoodwink wants to deal quick damage from a safe distance, and Nyx counters that entire plan.
