Counters for Spirit Breaker?

[Crums]

I'm new, and I don't get how you're supposed to break (no pun intended) out of Breaker's charge. Sure, you can have wards to know he's coming, but how exactly do you stop him?

[Woody]

Stuns and mini stuns stop his charges.

[The_Technomancer]

You can stun him before he stuns you. So long ranged or short cast point stuns can stop him before he hits you.

Any kind of disruption spell / attack should do it, anything that stuns, freezes, roots etc. Also, Ezalor's Blinding Light is very useful to counter Shadow's charge, not only does it disrupt the charge, it will knock him back and blind him, causing him to miss attacks. Always a great counter for your team!

sb is a hard to beat hero but there are 2 ways u either interupt him mid charge or u out tank/ right click him. Heros i perfer to against sb is sven which is ur perferred choice, huskar, or ursa

Do Silences stop his charge? What about Duel?

Silences don't and duel would but you can't get in range for it without being bashed so you couldn't ever use it on him while he charges.

Worth noting that popping a silence on him before his charge hits will at least stop him from using his ult as follow up, so it's better than nothing.

removing yourself is another way to dodge it (i.e infest creep as LS). And if you have a Manta style timed right it won't hit either.

Another thing would be to teleport to a place that is dangerous for him to charge to, because then he has to make the choice whether he wants to continue the charge and die or stop it and break off safely.

Wards are a hard counter,if you can see him charge you stay under tower!

[BLYATRIDER]

whirlwind yourself if u see him coming, orc him if he close, go invisible (a good SB will soon get dust though)

[Multi]

Meepo. Meepo. Meepo!

Nets cancel his charge, he isnt allowed to charge once he's netted, nets cancel his ult animation, he cant bash all 5 meepos with his right click. also sb tend to gank solo if he doesnt know what hes doing, and that's just free kills for meepo.

other good counters (although meepo's the best):

-Disruptor: A fast disruptor can glimpse him back to where he was a few seconds ago
-Pl and/or CK: Illusions are a pain for heroes like him to deal with. CK would probably be the better of the 2 here
-Lion, Shadow shaman, etc: Supports with lots of disable are the key to keeping your carries safe against this boar.

Instant stuns are your best friend, as well as tanky heroes who can absorb and shrug off the impact. I've had some luck with Rubick, levitating him out of his charge, stealing Charge of Darkness and booking it to another lane. Clock is another good one, since he can make SB useless with Battery Assault (FAHHH FAHHH FAHHH FAHHH! *ded). Pudge to a lesser extent, since you can hook him out of Charge, though you WILL take the stun/bash and it requires some aim.

Euls works wonders too, stops him cold and even gives you time to retreat from his vision.
