How this matchup plays
Trying to focus down a hero near Vengeful Spirit is often a trade. Lifestealer can activate Rage to ignore her Magic Missile and keep running, but Nether Swap is the perfect tool to save his target or put him completely out of position. Even if Lifestealer connects, Wave of Terror shreds his armor and makes him surprisingly easy for other cores to bring down. The fight often hinges on whether Swap is on cooldown when Lifestealer decides to go in.
