Role impact
Separate lanes — this is a rotation & teamfight matchup.
Neither hero's lane record establishes a direct laning advantage over the other. Whole-match win rates and economy stay unchanged: those samples are not position-filtered.

Public head-to-head at 20:00+: No public sample available. Sampled from the latest 20,000 recorded public matches, filtered to this patch.
Sources & sample limits
- OpenDota parsed pro telemetry; missing observations stay blank.
- STRATZ net-worth histories use up to 12 recent games per hero, with their own sample count. Unavailable histories stay blank; earned gold is separate.
- Items use recorded purchase times plus final inventories; earlier sold items and exact six-slot histories are not reconstructed.
- Counter-item windows are mechanical guidance, not measured item-driven win-rate changes.
- Public results use dated OpenDota public matches; longer games are a different cohort.
Lane meeting & late-game evidence
Ember Spirit position 2; Lich position 5.
Direct lane evidence is not applicable to these selected positions.
For late-game evidence, compare the 25–60 minute outcome cohorts and recorded economy above. These do not prove which hero outscales the other.

A spell answer covers the named effect, not the entire enemy kit or a guaranteed win.
Ember Spirit
+1.2% vs Lich · Soft edge
- Sleight of Fist: a low health pool that dies quickly
- Fire Remnant: no reliable escape once caught
Lich
-1.5% vs Ember Spirit
- Frost Blast: once locked he cannot remnant out
Mechanical counters describe specific spell interactions, not an answer to every ability. Proven effectiveness requires strong matchup evidence; neither guarantees a win.
