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 (58.6%) loses to Mana Burn, and Timbersaw (59.7%), Tinker (59.6%) and Morphling (57.8%) get bursted from stealth. Nyx is countered by illusions and tanks his single burst can't handle: Meepo (45.8%), Wraith King (46.6%) and Lifestealer (47.4%) out-body/tank him, while Night Stalker (47.3%) 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.
