like the title says, im wondering how to deal with an armadon, got raped by one after doing so-so vs him in lane as amun-ra and figured might as well ask here, worst that could happen is getting chastised by random people. Any suggestions?

power supply is really helpful if you lane agaisnt him.

Never use your nukes if he doesnt face you and if he stack armor late games you may want to consider buying harkons

He got really low mana base, burn it out and its over.

an early ring of the teacher will help reduce the damage he can do aswell.

Keep in mind that shield breaker will negate the dmg reduction from hotb and can help.

shieldbreaker completely and utterly destroys any tanky hero that goes for vanguard nowadays.


i was playing zeph the other day, had 3.5k hp with behemoths heart and shit
their pred had shieldbreaker 3, demonic and some other stuff and he melted right through me.

leaped @ me, stonehide and punched me to death before i could even do anything

only problem with sb is that sol cost 500g less and negate it.

you are a huge noob who paid testie to get to 1900

pred is one of the best counters of zephyr

try to get it to burn its mana early game, and try your best attacking him from the front.
never hit from behind, cuz the spike dps rapes.

2 situations

1)he's kinda fed and your team isnt nuke based : dont focus him.farm till your autoattacks rapes him harder than he spines

2)your team is massive nke/aoe etc-based. -> nuke him.

Pretty good advise right here.

Pred is his hardest counter. Ignore him in team fights for the most part and pick off his team/line mates.

If hes running at you to stack spines in lane wait back for them to drop as they do a lot of damage when they get stacked up.

Oh and anyone with a blink/escape makes him useless.

Yeah if u run back and let spines cool off after 1-3 stacks then its nt too bad

if armadon it's easy

if winston charmadon you should cc at 15
