Dazzle icon
  • Dazzle easily breaks the position of Lone Druid and his Summon Spirit Bear icon Summon Spirit Bear with his Poison Touch icon Poison Touch, As it always hits from afar and prolongs the slowdown on the Summon Spirit Bear icon Summon Spirit Bear, which is why he cannot catch up with Dazzle and treat his master with Spirit Link icon Spirit Link

Tiny icon

  • Lone Druid will not always be in his True Form icon True Form, since she has her own recharge, which is why Tiny can find him with a Shadow Blade icon Shadow Blade or Blink Dagger icon Blink Dagger and kill him in a second with a combination of Avalanche icon Avalanche and Toss icon Toss, due to the fact that Lone Druid has a very small health reserve without True Form icon True Form

Ember Spirit icon
  • Lone Druid becomes unkillable and impenetrable for Ember Spirit on the central line, as it has a huge reserve of health from the Summon Spirit Bear icon Summon Spirit Bear and a large regeneration from Spirit Link icon Spirit Link, which is why Sleight of Fist icon Sleight of Fist practically does not break through either one or the other on the line, and Lone Druid at this time can easily expel Ember Spirit from the line, push and gain gold and level
  • Entangling Claws (Spirit Bear) icon Entangling Claws and Savage Roar icon Savage Roar abilities completely disable Ember Spirit's ability to dodge abilities or get out of an unpleasant fight for him on Fire Remnant icon Fire Remnant, which can give the Lone Druid team the opportunity to kill him

  • Devour icon Devour does not work on the Spirit Bear and pushes the lane so Lone Druid can safely farm under tower.
Puck icon
Invoker icon
  • Lone Druid has a very large reserve of health against Invoker abilities, this allows him to survive a large number of attacks from Invoker and kill him, also Entangling Claws (Spirit Bear) icon Entangling Claws reveal invisibility from Ghost Walk icon Ghost Walk, which allows the Lone Druid team to catch the popular QW-Invoker

Nature's Prophet icon
  • Once caught in Bear's Entangle, Nature's Prophet cannot escape with Teleportation icon Teleportation.
Silencer icon
  • Silencer's disables are useless on Lone Druid since he is more reliant on physical attacks rather than spells.
  • Silencer has poor mobility so Lone Druid can run him down.
  • Lone Druid's Shard will remove most of Silencer's spells once used.
Storm Spirit icon
  • True Form gives Lone Druid a huge amount of health that no amount of Ball Lightning icon Ball Lightning will chip through.
