Lifestealer counter picks: who to choose against this hero in Dota 2

Lifestealer is a hero with a built-in BKB. If he starts free-farming, the enemy is in for a rough time. To become immune to magical damage, the hero simply needs to cast one of his abilities — Rage. The more health Lifestealer’s enemy has, the faster he regenerates after each hit. Additionally, Lifestealer can avoid a fight by diving into the nearest creep and escaping, or conversely, initiate the fight.

Who counters the character

• Windranger. She is endowed with the ability called Windrun, which helps to wait out the Rage of Lifestealer. She can then hurl a Shackleshot at the enemy and direct all his efforts towards killing him.
• Slardar. The character has an ult (Corrosive Haze), which shows the allies the location of the enemy and reduces his armor. Lifestealer has a lot of armor, and if it is safely removed, the hero becomes as vulnerable as possible.
• Razor. Lifestealer destroys enemies in fights. He «eats» due to his passive ability, thereby causing tremendous damage to his opponent. How to defeat Lifestealer then? Razor has a second skill, thanks to which he is able to turn the enemy into a harmless little puppy in a fight.
• Naga Siren. This hero can cast Ensnare on our hero even while in Rage (if she has Aghanim's Scepter) and, together with his allies, send Lifestealer back to the tavern. Furthermore, Lifestealer struggles against illusions.
• Beastmaster. The hero is endowed with an ultimate ability that stuns our character even while in Rage. He waits out dangerous moments and easily deals with the enemy.
• Bane. He can easily turn Lifestealer into a harmless puppy and save his ally from attacks.
• Juggernaut. The developers of the game endowed this hero with the ability to deal high physical damage, and even Rage will not save Lifestealer from the destructive power of Juggernaut.

Items to help get rid of Lifestealer

To wait out or delay the power (Rage) of the hero in question, you will need a Ghost Scepter. This item will help protect against physical damage, but only for a short period of time. Other equally useful things that will come in handy in the battle with Lifestealer are as follows:

• Force Staff. Pushes the character away from the enemy at a distance, but you need to act extremely quickly, since Lifestealer moves quickly. If you don’t use it on time, then the item will be ineffective.
• Assault Cuirass/Butterfly – against physical damage.
• Scythe Of Vyse, Orchid Malevolence, Bloodthorn - extra control.

If you want to defeat Lifestealer, don’t let him beat him. Show maximum ingenuity, dexterity and skills, and then at first glance the immortal hero will be defeated.
