WHY IT COUNTERS MEDUSA
Burns her mana
Mana Break burns Medusa's mana easily, especially with a Manta Style.
Easy initiation
Anti-Mage can easily Blink onto Medusa, burning her mana or forcing out Stone Gaze.
Mana Void punishes her team
Mana Void punishes Medusa's big mana pool and heavy mana use, and the blast is a huge hazard to her allies even when Mana Shield saves her.
3 Slark Carry · Escape · Disabler

MATCHES

WHY IT COUNTERS MEDUSA
Steals her stats
Medusa is especially weak to Essence Shift, as her Strength and Intelligence give her effective health and her Agility gives her damage.
Dispels Stone Gaze
A well-timed Dark Pact dispels Stone Gaze right after it petrifies Slark, so he can keep attacking Medusa.
