Enchantress counterpicks: who to choose against this hero in Dota 2

Enchantress is a ranged hero and is most often used as a support. She can effectively support her team at all stages of the game and deal a huge amount of pure damage.

Good choices against Enchantress are heroes that:

• Have abilities that applies break.
• Can kill Enchantress quickly.
• Can avoid Impetus damage.

Some of the best heroes against Enchantress:

• Juggernaut - Omnislash and Swiftslash ignore Untouchable, and under Blade Fury, Juggernaut doesn't take damage from Impetus.
• Witch Doctor - Death Ward also ignores Untouchable, which when combined with Maledict will allow Enchantress to be quickly dealt with.
• Ursa - While Enchantress can dispel Overpower, Ursa with Skull Basher or Abyssal Blade will usually deal with her quickly.
• Doom - His ultimates with talent at lvl 25 applies break, which disables Untouchable. Doom can also destroy an Enchantress-controlled creep with Devour

Other good choices against Enchantress are Nyx Assassin, Viper, Phantom Assassin, Shadow Demon, Shadow Shaman, Hoodwink, Primal Beast, Windranger, Lifestealer, Pugna, Leshrac, Lina, Skywrath Mage, Queen of Pain, Necrophos, Ancient Apparition, Lich, Lion, and Omniknight.

In addition to heroes, the following items will be effective against Enchantress:

• Silver Edge - Applies break, which disables Untouchable
• Spirit Vessel/Eye of Skadi - reduces the victim's healing and health regeneration.
• Black King Bar/Ghost/Ethereal Blade/Eul's Scepter of Divinity/Wind Waker - saves from Impetus (Ghost Enchantress can dispel with Enchant, so it's worth using it at a fairly long distance, or if Enchantress has already spent her second ability).

How to counter Enchantress:

Start of the game:

Enchantress is a pretty strong laner, so can effectively trade resources thanks to Impetus and Nature's Attendants, and also has the ability to tame a creep, which will give her an extra boost. It's important not to get hit by Impetus at long range and try to kill Enchantress before getting level 6 when Nature's Attendants is on cooldown.

Mid-game:

In the mid-game, you should acquire items to save yourself from Impetus or to quickly kill Enchantress herself. It is crucial to keep Enchantress from earning easy kills and farming freely.

Late Stage:

By late stage, Enchantress may have acquired Hurricane Pike and items that increase her attack speed. If this is the case, you should consider her as another core hero on the enemy team. You should kill Enchantress as quickly as possible or control her in combat, but you will not allow her to attack freely with Impetus throughout the fight, as she can overwhelm your entire team.

General Strategy

Enchantress is vulnerable to magic damage and has low survivability and mobility. Use these vulnerabilities to quickly kill her in battles, and purchase artifacts for protection and control to greatly increase your chances of victory.
