Necrophos Counters (7.41)
Who counters Necrophos in Dota 2 7.41? Heroes Necrophos is strong against and heroes it struggles against, ranked by win rate over ranked matches.
Necrophos is a tanky magic-damage core whose Heartstopper Aura and Death Pulse out-sustain enemies in lane and fights, while Reaper's Scythe executes and increases respawn time. He dominates low-sustain, immobile heroes: Timbersaw (61.3%), Tiny (59.4%) and Lycan (58.9%) get out-healed and out-traded. Necrophos is countered by healing reduction and burst that beats his sustain: Keeper of the Light (47.6%), Grimstroke (47.8%) and Ancient Apparition (47.8%) shut off his regen, while Muerta (48.1%) out-damages him. Draft tip: Necrophos is a brutal lane bully and teamfight tank into sustain-light drafts; he's countered hard by healing-reduction (AA, Grimstroke, Shadow Demon) picks.
