How to counter Night Stalker

In lane

In game

  • • Not only can Dawnbreaker use Solar Guardian to save an ally being hunted by Night Stalker - it also creates daylight for 6 seconds, removing his vision, attack and movement speed bonuses.
  • • Naga Siren does not care about getting silenced by Crippling Fear too much as she will always have her Mirror Images with her already. • Naga Siren can Ensnare or Song of the Siren to catch a speedy flying Night Stalker. • Night Stalker has no way to deal with the high armor illusions.
  • • Troll Warlord does not care about being silenced as he can turn around and start beating on Night Stalker. • Troll Warlord can ensnare Night Stalker. • Whirling Axes (Melee) make Night Stalker's attacks miss.
