What hero abilities can kill illusion heroes instantly (or close to instakilling)?
My question is similar to this one, except that I'm looking for heroes with skills that can kill illusions easily without physical/AoE damage.
I played a game where opposite team had both Naga Siren and Chaos Knight. I don't really remember what I was playing or who my teammates were playing as, but I remember we got crushed badly. I know AoE heroes that do mass damage can take care of illusions decently (Sven), or a hero with massive Aoe spell damage would do too (CM, SK).
However, are there any heroes who can naturally kill illusions almost instantly? Also, do these skills make that hero worthy as a counter-draft, or is the better strategy just to stick with AoE damage?
Ones that I know of:
- Medusa - Stone Gaze, if petrified successfully, all petrified illusions die immediately
- Disruptor - Glimpse, will instakill a single illusion
Best Answer
Here are a few more. The list is kind of long actually but those came to mind.
Lion - manadrain
OD - first spell (can't remember the name) -> gives 4x dmg, pure dmg... that x(2 to 3) that the illusions have by default is kind of an instakill
Artefact - Defusal blade - purge
Also you can count here most of high damaging spells (like Linas or Lions ult) since most illusions can't handle them... but that's a waste of a good ult :).
Anyway... as a tip, when the other team has illusion heroes (like PL, CK, NS, etc.), just pick shaker. I just love when they are taking out illusions and I have shaker (with ult up of course).
The hardest illusion to kill in game I think is morphs ult, for that one I like to make a defusal.
