Crystal Maiden Counters (7.41e)
Who counters Crystal Maiden in Dota 2 7.41e? The heroes Crystal Maiden beats and loses to, ranked by win rate from ranked matches.
Crystal Maiden is a high-value support: global mana via Arcane Aura, long roots with Frostbite, and a game-ending Freezing Field — all on a fragile, slow body. She trades best against immobile heroes who can't punish her low armor: Timbersaw, Nature's Prophet and Chen all sit still for her roots and ult. Her weaknesses are divers and sustain heroes who reach her squishy frame: Dawnbreaker, Phoenix and Tidehunter blow past Frostbite. Draft tip: CM is a fantastic value pick into low-mobility line-ups; shore her up with a save or escape if the enemy has hard divers like Spirit Breaker or Storm.
In Dota 2 7.41e, the heroes that counter Crystal Maiden hardest are Pugna, Phoenix and Marci — Crystal Maiden wins only 41.9%, 44.5% and 44.6% of ranked matches against them.
