Night Stalker Counters (7.41f)
Who counters Night Stalker in Dota 2 7.41f? The heroes Night Stalker beats and loses to, ranked by win rate from ranked matches.
Night Stalker is a nighttime hunter whose Darkness turns day to night — where his vision, speed, and silence make him terrifying. He utterly dominates immobile heroes he hunts in the dark: Timbersaw, Puck and Tinker get run down with no escape. Night Stalker is countered by illusions and scalers that survive his night windows: Meepo, Naga Siren and Spectre out-body or out-scale, while Wraith King out-tanks. Draft tip: Night Stalker is a brutal early-night ganker into squishy, low-mobility drafts; he's weaker into illusion comps and hard-carries that survive to out-scale him.
In Dota 2 7.41f, the heroes that counter Night Stalker hardest are Meepo, Wraith King and Troll Warlord — Night Stalker wins only 44.7%, 44.7% and 45.4% of ranked matches against them.
