Hoodwink relies on trees: Bushwhack stuns enemies and pulls them toward the nearest tree, Acorn Shot can plant one, and Mistwoods Wayfarer redirects attacks into trees. Destroying the tree frees a stunned unit, and Bushwhack does not hit invisible units. Decoy turns her invisible, so detection reveals her again.
Counter items
Quelling BladeChop Tree destroys the Bushwhack tree and frees the stunned target.
Shadow BladeBushwhack does not hit invisible units, so the net misses the wearer.
Dust of AppearanceA support item that reveals and slows Hoodwink while Decoy hides her.
