How do you counter arachna

[[AS]Kietharr]

As has been said, carry a tp scroll and tp away the minute you see her if you're alone. If ganking her, team up and stun her to death, she has paper HP so it doesn't take much. Spider only hits one hero so it's not too powerful in teamfights. If she is REALLY giving you trouble buy a void talisman, arachna immunity.

1. Warbeast - max unslowable movespeed while in ulti form, and with hounds can one shot spider.
2. Zephyr - Wind shield is a good counter to all ranged carries. In case something goes wrong, just leap away.
3. Pyromancer - Can oneshot arachna at level 6, unless of course arachna goes tanky, but loses out in dps.
4. Plague rider - If arachna throws her ulti, you throw your own ulti and kill her in less than 3 seconds.

what are you blithering on about? it takes much more than 135g to "counter arachna"...

In any 1 on 1 situation, a nonfed arachna cannot deal enough damage to kill you in the TP time window.

If you're going to talk about ganks with multiple heroes, there are a dozen other heroes I would rather have beside me than Arachna.

In short, 135g can, and usually does, counter Arachna. This alone is the main reason you don't see so many qq arachna threads anymore because after having it hammered into peoples heads for so long, people finally realised this and started doing it. I would suggest you do the same.

If you know what youre doing you can literaly FARM her with Night Hound. Silence and Pounce (a nuke that works on her cause its physical dmg) will take her out if she ulti's you just gtfo with homecoming stone.

Arachnas ult has a 30 second CD.
So that's 135 gold every 30 seconds for the rest of the game, seems quite expensive to me :/

Dontcha just love theorycrafting. Anyone can be right!

this hero is broken in my opinion. but what heros counter her. she seems rediculously op with the best slow in game thats perma if continued.

her shell will wipe debuffs/dots on her and pretty much make nuke ults blah.

i dont understand how ot counter her. if u play range/nuker she can live thru your burst and kill u since u cant get away. if u play melee she can kite you..

this is talking 1v1 but in team battles shes even more powerfull. being in a group of people just makes her harder to get to / kill.

not trying to rage but this hero just gets under my skin by how simple and effective it is. please help me out on tips/strats to take her out or hero counters to her.

thanks

Best way to counter her is to complain on the forums over and over that her slow is too overpowered (which it is) until they fix it to be in line with DOTA slow %'s.

You don't really get ulted every 30 seconds now do you? If you are I would suggest staying out of the opponents base.

Don't put yourself in a position to be orbwalked/kited to death. Her health pool sucks, and she has no escape mechanism besides her slow. If you're mid against her:

Pyro and Witch can harass her out of lane with Wave/Graveyard.
Defiler can too with Wave, and her Ult beats Arachna's Ult.
Voodoo can combo her down with Stun/Curse/Ult, even through her magic armor.
Valk and Hag can blink away from her spider to the tower; Jav / Bat Blast take her down quick.
etc. etc...

The only solo mid that really sucks against her from experience is Torturer, but he can just go side lane.

That's not until level 16 when her spider loses more of its power due to your entire team being there.

Fixed your post there.
