How this matchup plays

Charging into Nyx Assassin feels like a huge mistake, since a well-timed Spiked Carapace will instantly turn your gank around with a stun. In practice, this matchup is a tense game of cooldowns. Spirit Breaker often builds tanky enough to survive the reflected stun and still kill a fragile Nyx, especially if he gets help or has status resistance. If Nyx misses his timing or Carapace is already used, he has no way to stop the Charge and will likely die. On the other hand, Nyx Assassin can completely halt Spirit Breaker’s momentum, saving a teammate from across the map. It all comes down to who baits the other's key spell first.
