Puck dodges attacks by jaunting to Illusory Orb and becomes invulnerable in Phase Shift, and each disjoint refills health and mana through Puckish. Waning Rift silences and Dream Coil leashes, but both need him to cast first, so a silence at the moment he commits punishes the engage. Stepping out of a Dream Coil snaps it into a stun, which makes waiting it out safer than running.
Counter items
Orchid MalevolenceSilence stops Phase Shift and Waning Rift before they are cast.
NullifierCan be cast on invulnerable units, so it still lands during Phase Shift.
Mage SlayerCuts the spell damage of Illusory Orb and Waning Rift once attacks connect.
