8. Death Prophet

The ghastly prophet looms over her prey, foreshadowing their existence and planning her every move towards chaos! Seeing Death Prophet in pub games is quite a rare sight in 2022, but she is a textbook counterpick to Void Spirit who can still be lethal to her if not played right. Her spammable spells make her a nuisance in the laning phase, which is even worsened if she has Spirit Siphon, making her drain Void’s health. The game can essentially be over for Void if he is silenced by Death Prophet, as he mostly has no chances to get away from the disable.

  • Spirit Siphon and Exorcism can damage through his Resonant Pulse shields.

7. Slardar

Body Image

Hailing from the deep seas in the menacing Slardar. His looks are quite enough to scare Void Spirit away. Slardar has high physical damage which is further amplified due to the armor corruption from his ultimate as well as the massive bash damage which both combined can easily melt Void down. Sprint can also be used by Slardar to catch the fleeting Void, he can also use a Blink Dagger to stop him in his tracks or to initiate and follow it up by Slithreen Crush. A six-slotted Void can still be disrupted by a decently farmed Slardar at any stage of the game.

What makes Slardar a great hero against Void Spirit? 

  • The brutal physical damage of Slithereen Crush and Bash of the Deep can quickly remove Void Spirit's shield and stun him for a while.
  • Corrosive Haze provides vision of Void Spirit while he is running away and Guardian Sprint allows Slardar to quickly close the gap

6. Puck

Puck, the dazzling faerie dragon is a mixture of skill and flamboyance, yet he is a lethal force that can decimate the likes of Void Spirit in no time. Although, relatively a weak laner and squishy, Puck can turn the tides around if he manages to secure his early game by farming sufficiently and ganking other lanes. Silence and lockdown are aspects that shut Void down, and Puck has both of them. Void Spirit fares well against the Puck in the laning phase but the late game is where Puck shines. The right items at the right time allow him to sustain himself and deal lethal magical damage without worrying about the Void Spirit.

Why is Puck a great counter to Void Spirit? 

  • Dream Coil prevents the usage of Void Spirit's escape abilities and limits his damage output in fights almost entirely.

  • Blink Dagger - Great for gap closing or initiating
  • Aghanim’s Shard and Scepter - Can lock in a spell immune Void Spirit and silence her for a longer duration with the Shard

5. Meepo

Whenever there’s a Meepo in a pub game against Void Spirit, chances are he is either a man with a plan or someone really suicidal! Jokes aside, Meepo is known to be a menacing counter to slippery heroes like Void Spirit. Void may have a ton of AoE damage to counter Meepo but the latter has immense survivability and lockdown in the form of lifesteal and Earthbind. Meepo can gank lanes and secure objectives before Void even has the chance to strike. Meepo dominates the early game as he can gank as soon as he gets his clone, essentially out-pacing and out-farming the Void.

4. Bane

Body Image

Bane is the culprit of endless nightmares for Void Spirit fans, Bane remains a solid counter to him as Void is known to be a slippery fish while he is known to lock down heroes and punish them. He can quickly disable him by applying Enfeeble, followed by Nightmare and Grip locking him down for a good duration. The late stages of the game bear witness to utter control by Bane if he manages to use Fiend’s Grip on Void Spirit without getting caught. A skilled Bane will also save his allies from potentially lethal damage dealt by Void by using Nightmare on them at the right time.

Why is Bane great against Void Spirit? 

  • Fiend's Grip and Nightmare are very useful to lock down Void Spirit.
  • Brain Sap can be difficult for Void Spirit to deal with in the laning stage.

3. Queen of Pain

Image
Body Image

Behold the Queen of dominance! Queen of Pain is a very annoying hero for the enemy mid-laner Void Spirit in all the stages of the game. It is irritating to lane against constant spam and harassment, if overlooked then it can result in his death! She has the perfect skill set to both harass and kills the enemy Void Spirit, her mobility makes her even harder to catch. Void Spirit and her both are active as soon as they get their level 6, but her ultimate is more effective as it can quickly burst down heroes, working in tandem with her other spells, making her win the purely 1v1 matchup quite easily. You’re at the wrong end of the leash if you face off against her!

Why is QoP a great counter to Void Spirit?

  • Queen of Pain can Blink to both escapes and initiate onto Void Spirit.
  • She is also a very common Orchid Malevolence carrier, which can prevent Void Spirit from contributing much in fights.

  • Aghanim’s Scepter and Shard - Sonic Wave pierces spell immunity with Scepter and silences him in a small AoE if she lands on top of him after the Blink courtesy of the Shard.
  • Scythe of Vyse - Disables Void Spirit and removes him from the fight
  • Refresher’s Orb - Can refresh spells and items and use them again in quick succession to delete Void Spirit from the fight
  • Bloodthorn - Can silence Void Spirit and turn him into rubbles in no time
  • Black King Bar - Provides spell immunity from all of Void Spirit's magic damage spells, making you invulnerable in the fight
  • Eul's Scepter - Provides a basic dispel, can be used to dodge Homing Missle or to set up on Void Spirit

2. Viper

Body Image

Viper knows no bounds and is hated by all the Void Spirit players. Most players can benefit largely from picking him against Void as he deals a ton of magical damage which can also be used to shove him out of the lane or nuke him down. Viper can also effectively counter push against the Void Spirit. A pure 1v1 lane matchup will never go in the favor of Void Spirit due to the melee and ranged disadvantage.

Why is Viper great against Void Spirit? 

  • Poison Attack makes it hard for Void Spirit to lane against him.
  • Corrosive Skin reduces the magical damage from Void Spirit's spells.

Items to Buy on Viper

  • Kaya and Sange - Increased stats and movement speed gain
  • Aghanim’s Scepter - Reduces ultimate’s cooldown, allowing him to be more offensive on Void Spirit, also pierces spell immunity.

  • Dragon Lance - Increased stats gain, Hurricane Pike can also be a viable upgrade
  • Blade Mail - Reflects back damage to Void Spirit if used on time

1. Templar Assassin

Image
Body Image

Templar Assasin, the guardian of the temple’s secrets is a lethal force to be reckoned with! She deals some heavy damage to Void Spirit while taking barely any in return if she has the Refraction shield on. A pure 1v1 matchup against Void could go either way but a skilled TA always manages to emerge on the top with her constant harassment from Psi Blades, making it easy to shove off Void Spirit and deny him any farm. Most experienced TA players occasionally disappear into the jungle to stack and farm as soon as they have the levels and farm, as they know Void relies more on kills and he is not good at ganking until he acquires his ultimate.

Why is Templar Assassin a great counter to Void Spirit? 

  • Refraction negates all of Void Spirit's burst damage.
  • Meld quickly burns through Resonant Pulse.

Items to Buy on TA

  • Black King Bar - Completely immune from Void Spirit’s spells
  • Aghanim’s Scepter - Can be used to teleport to anywhere on the map, essentially to split push, and pressure the enemy team
  • Blink Dagger - Great for initiating and gap closing on Void Spirit

  • Daedalus - High critical damage, can eviscerate Void Spirit
  • Bloodthorn - Can silence Void Spirit and turn him into rubbles in no time

What is Lorem Ipsum?It's time for them to learn their place. Reina storms the King of Iron Fist Tournament in #TEKKEN8  Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.     Why do we use it?It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).Where does it come from?Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..", comes from a line in section 1.10.32.The standard chunk of Lorem Ipsum used since the 1500s is reproduced below for those interested. Sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 from "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" by Cicero are also reproduced in their exact original form, accompanied by English versions from the 1914 translation by H. Rackham.Where can I get some?There are many variations of passages of Lorem Ipsum available, but the majority have suffered alteration in some form, by injected humour, or randomised
