Terrorblade Counters & Build

Phantom Lancer 904 matches

−4.3%

WhyPhantom Lancer overwhelms Terrorblade by rapidly multiplying through Juxtapose, making it extremely difficult for Terrorblade to identify and target the real hero with Sunder. Additionally, Doppelganger's basic dispel can remove the slow debuff from Reflection to destroy the invulnerable reflection, while Phantom Rush grants bonus movement speed and evasion to quickly close the gap on Metamorphosis.

Axe 1,113 matches

−4.0%

WhyAxe wins the lane early because Terrorblade relies heavily on Conjure Image illusions, which provide Axe with extra incoming attacks to rapidly trigger pure damage Counter Helix spins. Berserker's Call forces Terrorblade and his illusions to attack Axe while Axe gains massive bonus armor, shredding Terrorblade with repeated Helix procs. Furthermore, Culling Blade provides pure damage execution that can eliminate Terrorblade before or immediately after Sunder is used.

Winter Wyvern 635 matches

−2.5%

WhyWinter Wyvern establishes an early lane advantage by harassing Terrorblade with the range and percent-based health damage of Arctic Burn combined with Splinter Blast. Later in the game, Cold Embrace completely negates Terrorblade's heavy physical attacks during Metamorphosis, while Winter's Curse turns his own high-damage Conjure Image illusions against him or his allies.

Techies 763 matches

−2.0%

WhyTechies dominates the early lane by punishing Terrorblade with heavy magical burst and stuns from Blast Off! and Sticky Bomb, which easily bypass Terrorblade's armor and clear his Conjure Image illusions. Furthermore, Reactive Tazer provides bonus movement speed and disarms Terrorblade when he attacks, neutralizing his physical damage during Metamorphosis.

Slardar 908 matches

+2.9%

WhyAlthough the laning stage is roughly even, Terrorblade takes control of the game as teamfights develop. Metamorphosis allows Terrorblade and his Conjure Image illusions to output high ranged physical damage from outside Slardar's melee initiation distance, while Reflection heavily punishes Slardar by slowing his movement and turning an invulnerable reflection against him. Furthermore, if Slardar manages to close the distance and inflict heavy physical damage, Sunder can completely reverse the health trade.

Nature's Prophet 1,310 matches

+2.8%

WhyWhile the laning stage is roughly even, Terrorblade gains a massive upper hand later in teamfights by using Reflection to turn Nature's Prophet's high attack damage against him with an invulnerable illusion that slows his movement and attack speed. Additionally, Terrorblade's ranged Metamorphosis paired with Dark Unity illusions overwhelms Prophet in direct engagements, and Sunder readily counters any burst damage Prophet attempts to deal.

Night Stalker 881 matches

+2.5%

WhyTerrorblade clearly loses the laning phase against Night Stalker's early nighttime aggression, but gains a massive advantage in the later stages of the game. In teamfights, Terrorblade overwhelms him with ranged firepower from Metamorphosis and illusions empowered by Dark Unity, while Reflection turns the high bonus damage of Dark Ascension directly back onto Night Stalker. Furthermore, Sunder allows Terrorblade to instantly reverse health pools if Night Stalker attempts a close-range dive.
