Ursa/Counters

Bad against...

 * Ursa's fast attack speed and mass quick damage will trigger Bristlebacks causing lots of damage to Ursa.
 * Bristleback's can also make Ursa's massive instant damage be reduced heavily if you don't attack Bristle's front.
 * While is removable with, it is a spammable ability and thus Bristleback can simply throw more Goos while Ursa's ultimate is popped, kiting him with ease.
 * Until Ursa Buys a, due to Lion's low ability cast points on his two disables and , he can instantly lockdown Ursa and escape with ease and maybe even turn on Ursa and kill him with the assistance of a teammate.


 * Riki can detect early Roshan attempts because of Cloak and Dagger if he frequently checks the Pit.
 * Ursa cannot Enrage when caught in Smoke Screen (BKB will help though).
 * Even if Ursa gets vision over him, Riki can Blink Strike away or use Tricks of the Trade after Ursa's initiation to avoid all Fury Swipes damage until Earthshock's slow is gone.


 * Ursa is a burst damage oriented hero and Wraith King's ult, will go off after all of ursa's burst damage has been used rendering him useless against Wraith King's second life
 * is a common item on Ursa, and could be used to burn Wraith King's mana before death, but that's unlikely. Check Wraith King's mana before a gank.


 * Ursa generally relies on the blink into combo to slow people down to burst them, but Windranger can just use her  and escape the whole Earthshock duration.

Others

Good against...

 * Lina is very easy to kill hero with major cast-time problems on her Light-Strike Array. She cannot combo with Eul's Scepter if Ursa has activated a BKB.

Timbersaw's Reactive Armor is based on tanking more hits, Ursa's fury swipe will stack the more he hits and will be the doom of timbersaw
 * Reason


 * He can payback any clone of Meepo with Enrage and Fury Swipes


 * Huskar's Burning Spears do almost no damage when Ursa is enraged, making it easy to kill him

Others

 * Roshan
 * Legion Commander

Works well with...
Io and Ursa can teleport through the map and Ursa can easily kill enemies with health and mana gained from Io
 * Reason


 * Disruptor can trap enemies, making it easy for Ursa to destroy them.


 * Dazzle can reduce enemy armor and keep Ursa alive a bit longer with Shallow Grave. Can also heal.


 * Ursa has no disable, meaning that a stun from Wraith King should give Ursa enough time to kill an enemy and chain it using Earthshock.
 * Vampiric Aura helps Ursa does Roshan early without Lifesteal item.


 * Lone Druid's bear esnares enemy units, making them unable to escape from Ursa
