How to counter Skywrath Mage

In lane

In game

  • • Summon Wolves + Howl + Helm of the Dominator can threaten to kill and annoy Skywrath Mage globally as he cannot deal with them. • Skywrath Mage cannot do anything once Lycan starts running at him with Shapeshift.
  • • All of Skywrath Mage's spells are magical and Anti-Mage has magic resist with Counterspell. • The big mana pool of Skywrath Mage makes him a good target for Mana Void. • Anti-Mage can easily reflect Arcane Bolt with Counterspell.
