How to counter Ember Spirit

In lane

  • • Slark can just keep hitting him with Saltwater Shiv and Essence Shift making him suffer a lot and eventually lose the lane. Ember Spirit cannot hit his timings and will always be playing from behind.
  • • Ember Spirit cannot sit in lane since the damage block of Flame Guard is not enough to prevent Burning Spear from killing him.
  • • Being a melee hero means he is naturally weak at laning against Monkey King's Jingu Mastery.

In game

  • • Pounce's leash means Ember Spirit cannot escape with Fire Remnant or Sleight of Fist. • Dark Pact can dispel Searing Chains. • Ember Spirit's core items - Spirit Vessel and Mage Slayer don't do much against him. • Flame Guard does not do much against the stat steal of Slark.

Items

  • Scythe of Vyse
    • Instant disable is the best catch against a highly mobile hero like Ember Spirit.
  • Orchid Malevolence
    • Ember Spirit prefers not to buy dispel early, so this item can potentially derail his game.
