Night Stalker relies on darkness: Void gains a mini-stun and Crippling Fear lasts longer at night, while Midnight Feast and his attacks heal him. The mini-stun and the silence are both spell effects, so spell immunity removes his opening, and healing reduction plus a disarm shrink the sustain he gets from hitting heroes. Void does not mini-stun during the day, which makes daytime fights safer.
Counter items
Black King BarAvatar makes the Void mini-stun and Crippling Fear silence have no effect.
Spirit VesselSoul Release cuts Health Restoration, shrinking the healing from Midnight Feast.
Heaven's HalberdDisarm for 3.5 seconds stops the attacks that heal him.
