It also prevents enemies from escaping Witch Doctor's deadly Death Ward. It prevents enemies from spreading to avoid Paralyzing Cask, allowing it to jump between them.
Again, Dream Coil serves as a great setup. Any Hero with high mobility will be neutralized by dream coil: Queen of Pain, Storm Spirit, Ember Spirit, Lycan, Bloodseeker, Anti-Mage, Timbersaw. They also lack reliable lockdowns, as their disables are easily avoidable for Puck, or are just a soft disable. Heroes like Sven, Lifestealer, Ursa and Alchemist may have problems to get to Puck without proper initiation items. Melee heroes that get kited easily have hard times dealing with Puck without any lockdowns, as Puck is one of the most mobile heroes. Mass summoning heroes: Broodmother, Nature's Prophet and Enigma all have summons Puck can clear clear with Illusory Orb and Waning Rift instantly, due to their summons having low health. They all also have avoidable spells, allowing Puck to get to them and quickly burst them down. Low health spellcasters: Lina, Witch Doctor, Tinker, Keeper of the Light, all rely heavily on their spells and are fragile heroes. Puck is a common Dagon carrier, making it possible to finish off Terrorblade before he has a chance to Sunder. 
Waning Rift prevents Terrorblade from casting Sunder at low health.Waning Rift and Illusory Orb together are usually enough to clear his illusions. Even a single Illusory Orb is enough to drop their health very low, allowing creeps, towers or allies to finish them off very quickly. Puck's spells are also great at quickly clearing all of Terrorblade's illusions.All of Puck's damaging spells deal AoE magic damage, which focuses on Terrorblade's low health pool and ignores his armor.Dagon's instant projectile and burst damage can kill Puck before Phase Shift.Nullifier disables Puck's Eul's Scepter of Divinity and Blink Dagger, making it much easier to lock down.Orchid Malevolence shuts down any escapes with Illusory Orb.
Scythe of Vyse locks down Puck before it can slip away. Black King Bar blocks all damage received from Puck. Also, all of them have spells which can deal with and shut Puck down reliably. 
Bristleback, Centaur Warrunner, Spirit Breaker, Pudge, Huskar: These heroes are too tanky for Puck to burst down. Heroes with spell immunity or pseudo- blinks which provide invulnerability: Lifestealer, Juggernaut, Omniknight, Huskar, and Tusk have spells which allow them to easily escape Dream Coil. Glimpse also prevents Puck from escaping. Puck is also very susceptible to Riki's high attack damage when attacking from the back. Riki and Disruptor: Smoke Screen and Static Storm can be thrown wherever Puck used Phase Shift, making Puck an easy target if it doesn't have Blink Dagger or is on cooldown. It is very important to avoid getting hit by this spell when playing against Wraith King. Wraith King's only active ability, Wraithfire Blast, is strong against Puck if it hits, because it applies a damage over time on top of stunning and doing impact damage, disabling Puck for a while, and Blink Dagger for even longer. Waning Rift's silence is almost completely worthless against Wraith King, due to him having only 1 active ability.
