Enchantress Counters & Build

Medusa 139 matches Low data

−2.4%

WhyTargeting Medusa with spells like Enchant or Little Friends triggers Cold Blooded, instantly petrifying Enchantress for one second with a retaliatory Mystic Snake. Furthermore, Medusa's Split Shot and Mystic Snake effortlessly punish Enchantress's controlled creeps to replenish mana for Mana Shield, while Stone Gaze severely disrupts Enchantress from safely maintaining range to scale her Impetus damage.

Chaos Knight 139 matches Low data

−2.1%

WhyChaos Knight can instantly close the gap using Reality Rift, which strips Enchantress's armor while keeping her at close quarters to minimize the bonus damage from Impetus. The combined burst damage from Chaos Bolt and his Phantasm illusions can potentially overwhelm her before she can recover with Nature's Attendants or leap away with Sproink.

Marci 192 matches Low data

−1.8%

WhyMarci can quickly close the distance with Rebound and reposition Enchantress using Dispose, nullifying the bonus distance-scaling damage of Impetus. Additionally, the rapid strike sequence and attack speed benefits of Unleash likely help Marci overpower Enchantress's Untouchable slow, allowing her to burst down the fragile ranged hero in close quarters.

Wraith King 552 matches Low data

+2.7%

WhyEnchantress's Untouchable drastically slows Wraith King's attack speed, severely reducing his right-click output and the sustain he gains from Vampiric Spirit. Outside of the lane, she can comfortably kite the melee hero from long range with Enchant and Sproink, punishing his slow movement with heavy Impetus damage.

Spectre 514 matches Low data

+2.3%

WhyAlthough their laning phase is roughly even, Enchantress can cause problems for Spectre in later teamfights because Untouchable heavily slows Spectre's attack rate and ability to apply Desolate. Furthermore, Impetus deals high damage from maximum range—mitigating the reflection from Dispersion, which lessens with distance—while dealing double damage to quickly shred Spectre's Haunt and Shadow Step illusions.

Slardar 397 matches Low data

+1.8%

WhyEnchantress creates an early lane advantage by relentlessly harassing the melee Slardar from range with Impetus and controlling the wave with Enchant. In skirmishes, Untouchable sharply reduces Slardar's attack speed, hindering his ability to build up hits for Bash of the Deep. Even when Slardar closes the gap with Guardian Sprint, Enchantress can disengage with Sproink to create distance and retaliate with high-damage Impetus attacks.

Dawnbreaker 567 matches Low data

+1.8%

WhyAlthough the lane is roughly even, Enchantress likely gains an advantage in teamfights where Untouchable severely slows Dawnbreaker's attack speed, hindering her ability to stack Luminosity. Additionally, Enchantress can use Sproink to create distance and dodge abilities, maximizing her Impetus damage against the melee-bound Dawnbreaker.
