Spirit Breaker relies on Charge of Darkness and Nether Strike to cross the map and land Greater Bash on a chosen target, and Empowering Haste adds speed after each stun. Both initiations are unit-targeted, so spellblock negates one of them, and his regular bash needs attacks, which a disarm removes. Bulldoze status resistance makes long disables on him unreliable.
Counter items
Linken's SphereSpellblock absorbs the targeted Charge of Darkness or Nether Strike once per 14 seconds.
Heaven's HalberdDisarm for 3.5 seconds stops the attacks that trigger Greater Bash.
