Nyx Assassin Counters (7.41f)
Who counters Nyx Assassin in Dota 2 7.41f? The heroes Nyx Assassin beats and loses to, ranked by win rate from ranked matches.
Nyx Assassin is an anti-caster ganker whose Mana Burn punishes high-intelligence heroes, Spiked Carapace reflects stuns, and Vendetta enables invisible burst pickoffs. He hard-counters int-reliant heroes: Outworld Destroyer loses to Mana Burn, and Timbersaw, Tinker and Morphling get bursted from stealth. Nyx is countered by illusions and tanks his single burst can't handle: Meepo, Wraith King and Lifestealer out-body or out-tank him, while Night Stalker hunts him. Draft tip: Nyx is a premium anti-mage pickoff support into intelligence/squishy drafts; he's weaker into illusion comps and tanky hard-carries.
In Dota 2 7.41f, the heroes that counter Nyx Assassin hardest are Wraith King, Meepo and Juggernaut — Nyx Assassin wins only 45.9%, 46.4% and 47.9% of ranked matches against them.
