 * works frequently while he escapes from a Necronomicon army of Arc Warden.
 * Arc Warden has little armor, and has very low mobility each of which making arc warden very susceptiable to the damage from quill spray and stacks of nasal goo.


 * Flux is useless against Meepo who always has a fellow Meepo nearby with Divided We Stand.
 * Without Black King Bar, Earthbind and Poof finish Arc Warden before he has time to react.
 * Magnetic Field's evasion is not effective against melee heroes.
 * Meepo has high magical resistance so he can Poof on top of spark Wraith's or Arc Warden's Necronomicon warrior units without too much risk.


 * Song of Siren stops him from acting and her illusions can push better than him because Mirror Image has longer duration.
 * Arc Warden does not often build radiance which useful for illusion and counter illusion pushes.
 * Mirror Image dispels Flux or prevents Flux's slow.


 * Smoke Screen prevents Arc Warden from initiating or helping his team.

 * Phoenix is very weak against pushers, especially those like Arc Warden who can kill him easily, as his skillset works best in teamfights.


 * Spark Wraith can scare Sand King from continuing to channel because it will hit invisible units.


 * Magnetic Field's evasion completely negates Sniper's attacks until he has True Strike.
 * Sniper always positions himself far away from battles which make him especially vulnerable for Flux and Spark Wraith nukes.


 * Flux wastes Templar Assassin's until she has  or.
