Outworld Devourer's whole kit is mana, and Nyx Assassin attacks it. Mind Flare deals damage equal to a share of the target's max mana and burns part of it, so a big mana pool from Objurgation makes him take more damage. Mana Burn burns mana with all of Nyx's damage, which weakens Arcane Orb and Sanity's Eclipse. Spiked Carapace reflects damage and stuns its source, and Vendetta lets Nyx arrive unseen. Nyx's team gains more XP in 58.4% of games between minutes 15 and 35.
Nyx wins 61.2% of games under 25 minutes (304 games), 55.5% at 25–50 (11,891 games) and 51.5% past 50 (2,896 games), with an XP-gain share of 52.6% after minute 35. This is one of the strongest counters in these guides: +15.51 in Very High, +11.26 in High and +11 in Normal. Nyx wins 55.9% / 53.5% / 54.9% (Very High / High / Normal) against Outworld Devourer, against his usual 52.8% / 52.5% / 52.1%.
