Enigma/Counters

Bad against...

 * Global Silence forcefully cancels Enigma's Black Hole prematurely, even through the effects of.


 * A Pudge not under the effects of Black Hole can easily hook Enigma and cancel his channeling.


 * Telekinesis has longer range than the AOE of Black Hole for the purposes of cancelling it. Because Black Hole is a channeled ability, it's an easy spell for Rubick to steal and use against your team.


 * Chaotic Offering's BKB-piercing stun can stop Black Hole channeling. Due to this ability's large AoE it can be cast at a safe distance from the black hole.


 * Vengeful Spirit can interrupt Black Hole channeling through by using Nether Swap from a safe distance away.


 * , when directly targeted on Enigma, can go through . Not only can it be used to stop but also turn his entire team against him, killing him nearly instantly.

 * The area of effect damage from and  help deal with 's illusions.


 * A hero under will still get caught in a . Also, heroes under  can be controlled and hurt from the pure damage of  and.


 * Malefice will cause the Monkey King to struggle using some of his abilities, as its periodic damage and stun disables/interrupts some of the King's abilities (,.


 * Lacking any stun and being heavy dependent on his auto attacks and magic immunity, he is not able to stop, as coming close to it would be suicide.
 * Enigma's spells, with exception of, go throught magic immunity and deals pure damage + HP % pure damage, putting a high health Hero like the Lifestealer in a tricky situation.


 * She will be not able to cast her ultimate while under 's debuff.

Others

 * Enigma deals pure damage based off on enemies health, so the Effective HP is never a problem for him. He completely ignores denfesive abilities like, , , and others. Stacking health Heroes will also be worthless against him.
 * Channeling Heroes or Heroes with long cast points will find themselves useless when under the effects of, as it periodic stun will interrupt them when casting. This includes such: , , and others.
 * In general, Enigma fares well against any Hero when played correctly and cautious, as his abilities works on any kind of Hero and his primary function is to start a team fight.

Works well with...
If Phoenix's sun is used in conjunction with a multi-hero black hole it results in devastating damage with a stun after the duration of the black hole.
 * Reason


 * Reason: Warlock's Fatal bonds used in conjuction with Enigma's Black Hole and Midnight Pulse can deal devastating amounts of pure damage to the enemy team, Warlock's Upheaval makes a really difficult task to scape from Midnight Pulse Damage, also Chaotic Offering can be used to easily land a Black Hole.


 * Reason: Dark Seer's Vacuum allows him to suck more heroes into the black hole. Furthermore, his Wall of Replica can deal good damage on people caught in Black Hole, and allows the illusions to attack the enemy heroes without restraint.  Surge also allows Enigma to initiate more easily, and Ion Shell can deal good damage on people stuck in Black Hole.


 * While Enigma holds the enemy team in place, Witch Doctor can use his Death Ward to do a lot of damage, especially if upgraded by Aghanim's Scepter
