Evade his third skill: its not so hard cause its slowpoke's skill until Arc have slots. Then be ready to beat his copy with proper melee hero (pretty much any - just bash him as other rangers). Now Arcs play mostly (and finally) with Manta and six instances. Not so hard also - its not Medusa or Naga. Arc is weak ranger which focused on magical damage. All his "strenght" is copy and specifically low CD copy. So learn how to deal with really dangerous rangers like Drow and Arc will be no problem in fair match. If its a stomp then Arc or non-Arc its all the same.

Arc's copy is worth a lot of gold, and he will often throw it into potentially dangerous lanes or areas that the rest of his team won't go to farm. If he keeps throwing his copy into lanes buy TPs / TP boots of your own and follow where ever his copy goes and kill it / farm it. Arc's copy only does 1/2 damage if not close to Arc, and so any core player on your team can easily solo Arc's double and get a nice hefty bounty from it. The biggest hurdle you will have in doing this is actually getting to the double in time before it expires, as it has a relatively short life at lv1 of Arc's ult.

Arc also doesn't like illusion heroes as they can easily cancel his flux skill by standing near each other, and your illusions will often eat his spark wraith for your main hero, nullifying that skill too, leaving him with just magnetic field as his only worthwhile skill against you, and even that can be quickly countered by repositioning. His best counter to this counter is to go Glepnir/Mjoliner, but you can counter that counter of your counter by bulking up with a heart/skadi (and you will likely also have manta to break free as most illusion heroes have that item anyway), essentially making it an arms race on if he can reach his electric item while keeping you away from anything to bulk yourself up.
