Find Tips To Counter Hoodwink ?

Pressure her early: Hoodwink is squishy – aggressively gank her in the laning phase to delay her impact.

Avoid her trees: Don’t stand near trees when she’s using Bushwhack to avoid getting caught.

Dispel her stuns: Lotus Orb or Manta Style can remove her Bushwhack and Acorn Shot stuns.

Silence her: Silencing Hoodwink prevents her from using her spells like Sharpshooter or Acorn Shot.

Pick burst heroes: Heroes with burst damage (e.g., Lion, Lina) can kill her quickly before she uses her evasive skills.

Build magic resistance: Hoodwink relies heavily on magic damage – items like Pipe or Hood can mitigate her damage.

Pick high-mobility heroes: Heroes like Storm Spirit or Anti-Mage can dodge her spells and close the gap.

  • Cannot, in contrast to other traditional carries, carry consistently even when completely farmed.
