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

Terrorblade is one of the most dangerous agility heroes. In the course of the game, he constantly increases his potential and becomes as strong as possible closer to the end of the game. In Dota 2, the increase in agility of this unit is the largest, which can only be envied. The hero regularly increases and strengthens the armor. Already up to the 25th level, it is almost impossible to break through without special ultimate abilities.

TB is a hero who confidently accepts long-range combat. He can attack the opponent from a long distance without putting himself in danger. Getting to Terrorblade undetected is very difficult. Thanks to a special ult, he can control opponents at any point on the map.

Another feature of the hero is the Reflection ability. TB knows how to slow down opponents. Even those magicians who create the strongest illusions, such as Medusa and Luna, cannot resist him. Using his Sunder ult, Terrorblade does a great job of swapping HP with various characters. In this way, he quickly restores his health.

In other words, it is very difficult to destroy this character. At first glance, he seems invincible, but every hero in Dota 2 has both strengths and weaknesses. If you know how to play against the sorcerer, what items to use in the battle with him, which of the heroes to put on the lane, then it will be possible to achieve a triumphant victory, and it will be quite an easy one.

Who counters Terrorblade

• Necrophos is one of the strongest laners, countering Terrorblade in the mid very decently thanks to his passive ability and massive damage from Death Pulse. It is very difficult for the enemy to counter Necrophos at the moment when he farms the forest and pushes the lane.
• Meepo. This hero relies mostly on magic in his battle with Terrorblade. Meepo can create strong illusions and control the enemy. Once the net and second clone appear, Terrorblade becomes vulnerable, and that's when Meepo literally explodes him with Poofs.
• Viper. Terrorblade heavily depends on his illusions, and Viper with his poison can destroy these illusions while continuously damaging Terrorblade himself.
• Axe. Terrorblade is very vulnerable to Axe due to his ability, Culling Blade, which can kill both illusions and the hero himself when his health is low.
• Lina. This hero confidently takes down Terrorblade with her spell combo. Lina doesn't need any extra items to harm her enemy. Her power is enough to take out the opponent both early and mid-game.
• Timbersaw. This hero punishes the opponent, and the more often he does so, the more damage he deals to Terrorblade. Additionally, Timbersaw can quickly get a Black King Bar (BKB), against which Terrorblade will not be able to stand up.

How to play against Terrorblade

Early game

Terrorblade is usually quite weak early in the game, so it's important to use heroes who can deal early damage or control him. Pay attention to his Metamorphosis, which can deal a lot of damage. It's also advisable to try to limit his farm.

Mid game

At this point, Terrorblade starts gaining strength thanks to Metamorphosis, so it's important to use heroes who can create counter-illusions or deal with them quickly. Items that drain his mana can also limit his abilities.

Late game

Terrorblade becomes very strong in the late game due to his illusions and high attack from Metamorphosis. The main goal is to prevent him from creating a large number of illusions and to actively counter him in team fights.

Key principle against Terrorblade

Don't let Terrorblade develop a large number of illusions and use items to limit his ability to deal damage through Metamorphosis. The more control and armor your team has, the easier it will be to play against him.
