How to Counter Wraith King

Wraith King refuses to die: Reincarnation revives him with full health and mana, Vampiric Spirit delays his death as a wraith, and Bone Guard skeletons respawn once. Reincarnation fails when he lacks the mana for it, so draining mana before the kill matters more than raw damage. Break shuts off the passive lifesteal and new Bone Guard charges.

Counter items

  • Diffusal BladeManabreak can leave Wraith King without the mana that Reincarnation needs.
  • Silver EdgeBreak disables Vampiric Spirit lifesteal and new Bone Guard charges.
  • Black King BarSpell immunity blocks the Wraithfire Blast stun, slow and damage.
