Bad against...

 * While not being able to confront Wraith King by himself, Lion's helps in draining Wraith King's mana, preventing him from reincarnating.
 * Lion's and  provide decent lockdown against Wraith King as well, preventing the latter from benefiting from Vampiric Aura bonuses


 * Wraith King is not good at handling illusion-based heroes, as his only disable is single-target.
 * Phantom Lancer tends to get, leaving Wraith King no mana to reincarnate.


 * Riki is a natural carrier.
 * Riki can use on top of you as you're reincarnating, making you a sitting duck for your second life
 * Wraithfire Blast is quite predictable. Players with good reflexes will disjoint it with.
 * There is also a chance he will become invisible again as the projectile travels, disjointing it.


 * Wraith King has no form of AoE to clear Terrorblade's illusions.
 * Terrorblade is a common and  carrier.
 * Terrorblade has very high armor which helps against Wraith King's physical-only damage.
 * Fresh reincarnated Wraith King can be ideal target for if he is low-health.


 * Weaver can run away after killing Wraith King once thanks to.
 * Wraithfire Blast is quite predictable. If Weaver is quick, he will disjoint it with Shukuchi and proceed to chase Wraith King down.
 * Shukuchi does have a fade time. They cannot disjoint it if you use it right next to them. They will be stunned and take damage; however they will still become invisible if they used Shukuchi before the stun hits.
 * Weaver can easily harass Wraith King out of his lane thanks to his high base damage and.
 * Weaver can burn Wraith Kings mana quickly with his Mana Break talent.

Others

Good against...

 * While Wraith King still has Reincarnation, He can payback Axe who hardly build single target immune item with his Wraithfire's Blast.
 * His Vampiric Aura and Mortal Strike save him from Berserker's Call though Axe launch his Blade Mail, but make sure you have enough physical defense.
 * Though he is killed by Culling's Blade, if he has Reincarnation. Axe's buff from Culling's Blade is meaningless.


 * is meaningless while Reincarnation is off cooldown.
 * Vampiric Aura and Mortal Strike prevent Bloodseeker from achieving bonuses.


 * Even when Doomed, Wraith King can tear down Doom with physical attacks, and can still reincarnate as long as it is off-cooldown.
 * However, Wraith King players should be careful when facing against Doom players who farmed Aghanim's Scepter, since the Aghanim upgrade disable his two passive abilities, weakening his right-click attacks.


 * Wraith King makes a poor target, as he can be already quite hard to bring down once, and then you have to worry about his second life.


 * Wraith King's Mortal Strike deals more damage against Lone Druid's as it is counted as a creep-hero.


 * can't kill Wraith King while Reincarnation is off cooldown
 * In the laning stage Vampiric Aura can out-heal the slow DoT from.


 * Wraith King is not afraid to walk wherever he goes with his Reincarnation ready.

Works well with...

 * Vampiric Aura allows Ursa to do early Roshan without the need to buy any lifesteal items first.
 * Wraithfire Blast stun and slow allows Ursa to easily prey on enemy heroes.


 * Vampiric Aura increases Huskar's sustainability even more.


 * The combination of Vampiric Aura and Troll Warlord's high DPS makes Troll Warlord almost unkillable.


 * significantly increases the damage of Wraith king's attacks (Especially with Mortal Strike crits). Since Wraith King is really tanky and can afford death thanks to his ultimate; this spell works really well with him
