* CripplingOverspecialization: The most common problem players have with the Crypt Lord is that he offers very little to an army besides a tank and his Beetles to be additional meat shields. He is extremely durable and can potentially disrupt fights with Impale, but he is also slow moving, does not deal a lot of damage without his ultimate, and unlike most [[MagikarpPower late game powerhouse]] heroes, he doesn't actually have an army destroying or hero killing skill (Storm Bolt, Critical Strike, Cleaving Attack, and Metamorphosis's splash are all examples). While exceptional at dueling enemy heroes and outlasting them, enemies will likely just try to kill more fragile heroes and units first when facing a Crypt Lord.

Cleaning up this Achilles Heel entry (Mana isn't relevant to the main Demon Hunter weaknesses of magic damage and disables). Also all heroes have built in Resistant Skin, they don't need to have it added to themselves.

* AchillesHeel: Evasion makes a Demon Hunter surprisingly resilient, but snares, stuns and chain nukes can give them a difficult time. Chain nukes can be particularly bad as they ignore Evasion, while movement impairing effects will hamper their ability to close the distance when Metamorphosis is unavailable. A Bloodmage who knows Banish and Siphon Mana, and is accompanied by a Mountain King with Storm Bolt can inflict all three ailments and amplify nuke damage by a staggering 66% while depriving the Demon Hunter of mana. Finally, their Metamorphosis does not grant them Spell Immunity or Resistant Skin, unlike the Mountain King's Avatar, so snares, stuns and nukes can still ruin their day.

* CloseRangedCombatant: If he hasn't transformed using Metamorphosis, the Demon Hunter can only attack in melee range, Immolation only damages enemies that are close to him, and Mana Burn has a low cast range of 300, which is about half of a standard ranged unit's attack range.

* CloseRangeCombatant: Not just because he's melee, but because War Stomp only applies the damage and stun to enemy land units near him, and Shockwave's slow projective makes it not as effective at range as most AOE nukes. This weakness is alleviated a bit by the movement speed from Endurance Aura.
