How to Counter Dark Seer

Dark Seer pulls enemies together with Vacuum, then Ion Shell damages the group and Normal Punch stuns with True Strike, so evasion cannot dodge it. Wall of Replica creates replicas of enemy heroes that fight for him, and it pierces spell immunity unlike Vacuum. Heroes staying apart reduce what one Vacuum can gather.

Counter items

  • Black King BarAvatar blocks Vacuum, Ion Shell and Normal Punch, but Wall of Replica still lands.
  • Scythe of VyseHex instantly destroys a replica illusion and shuts Dark Seer down for a moment.
