Clinkz Counters (7.41f)
Who counters Clinkz in Dota 2 7.41f? The heroes Clinkz beats and loses to, ranked by win rate from ranked matches.
Clinkz is a fragile ranged carry/ganker whose Skeleton Walk invisibility, Searing Arrows, and Burning Army let him pick off isolated heroes and burn towers. He's strong into immobile heroes he ambushes: Timbersaw, Elder Titan and Tinker get picked off. Clinkz is hard-countered by detection, illusions, and tanks: Wraith King out-tanks him, Phantom Lancer and Naga Siren bring too many bodies, and Spectre out-scales. Draft tip: Clinkz is a strong pickoff + tower-burn carry into low-detection, squishy drafts; sentries, AoE, and tanky hard-carries shut him down.
In Dota 2 7.41f, the heroes that counter Clinkz hardest are Wraith King, Phantom Lancer and Vengeful Spirit — Clinkz wins only 41.0%, 41.9% and 43.9% of ranked matches against them.
Why these counters work
- Wraith King — Clinkz is a burst assassin from stealth, and reincarnation is burst insurance — the opening volley lands, Wraith King stands back up, and the skeleton has no plan B.
- Phantom Lancer — Searing Arrows burn one body out of twenty, illusions bump into his invisible pathing, and nothing in the kit clears the crowd that eventually walks over him.
- Spectre — Haunt punishes glass cannons wherever they hide, and Dispersion reflects his own arrow damage back through a hero with very little HP to spare.
