    Arachna counter?

    Im talking about a 1vs1.
    Do I focus on her ulti? or on her?

    I have no idea how to really counter an arachna?


    ps: Arachnas web, does it charge power supply?


    Waiting to hear from the masters of strategy.

    This a 1v1 game or a 1v1 situation?

    If its a 1v1 game, hopefully you chose a melee carry. Farm opposite lanes until you can get in arachnas face and permabash her to death.

    If it's a 1v1 situation, focus on the spider, kill it, and try to fog arachna. Or carry a homecoming stone.

    Homecoming stone is your best counter. No disables, just port away when she ults, and she'll never get a kill on ya.

    Web doesn't charge power supply. Homecoming stone is a good counter.

    :GeometersBane::Puzzlebox:

    Go either one of those two items, have your illusions + hero or minions + hero attack the spider. Arachna cries.

    The best counters are definitely in this thread ^^^^ being weary of your pick can also help, when against Arachna, your attack speed and movement speed is going to be nil whenever you confront her (if she is decent that is) A tanky caster, who's spells do physical damage, usually does the trick. By caster, i mean a hero who primarily uses abilities to do their damage, not an auto attack. The reason you want physical damage is because Arachna's Harden Carapace negates almost all magic damage for a short time. A great hero pick to counter Arachna in my opinion is Pandamonium. He can do tons of damage, all physical, and you don't need to auto attack the entire time, simply flurry 4 times, flick, cannon ball, face smash, and flurry again for an easy kill. In my opinion, he is the 1v1 king. Also, a Void Tally :VoidTalisman: or even a :HomecomingStone: are cheap counters for her. I hope this helps!

    If you want to kill her, puzzlebox succ, if you want to make her useless in terms of a ganking situation, homecoming stone.

    :BarbedArmor: if they haven't fixed it that the spider dies after the first hit.
    alternatives were already posted.

The more common definition is starting to attack the enemy base without any creeps present.

    The thing is, in most cases it is not a very viable tactic and it is also easy to defend against (with any of a variety of teleportation items). If any of the tactics actually prove to be an issue in HoN, we will fix it though game mechanics.

    can do the job (maybe the best soler on hon besides arachna), her pure damage and arachna mid-low life will be crushed by succubi.

    also :VoidTalisman: and :GeometersBane: are good items against her.

    Besides items/normal lol heroes

    I found always works good. Watch her webshot herself.

    Use snotstorm to keep her down, use a bottle for mana and hp replenishment. From level 6, always keep a clean line with her if you're in range. If she ultis you, you just ulti her back. If you see the chance clean, you ulti her. After you ulti her you start off hellfire and mummy wall. If you were succesful in keeping her hp low, she will die to you regardless of whether she was able to launch her ulti. And until any opposing hero has his BKB, he/she can pretty much forget about ulting you when hellfire is on.
