    Obviously DOT effects will wear through her refractions. But I'm looking for more detailed advice on how to counter this hero.

      Refraction's the only thing keeping her alive. Until she gets blink dagger, she can't escape using meld. And even if you don't have dust, most free fire spells will still hurt her like Bristleback's Quill Spray or drawn out with Axe's Berserker Call. She hates Viper, Huskar and Venomancer for their DOT stuff and Huskar's ultimate I believe doesn't care about refraction.

        Obviously Viper and Venocancer stuff. Slark is also really annoying shit, cuz Darkpact instantly removes refraction and still deals damage afterwards... I think Huskar is way too overrated against TA. His ult doesn't work thrue refraction and if he ever jumps TA, he's gonna get melted down and will be dead before retractions expires. Ofc flamesspears are annoying to lane against but when TA get's lvl 6 he shouldn't be too big of a problem anymore.

              To clarify:
              Ion Shell > Refraction, Meld Hiding
              Surge > Psionic Trap & Low Range
              High Armor > Meld Attack

                    I have problems with playing against jakiro. Phoenix is a pain in the ass too, not only because all of his skills burn through refraction charges, but also that horrible att speed debuff which makes you miss every fucking meld strike if you don't blink at him directly
