In a man fight Alch simply loses to Jugg. Omnislash can provides a reliable burst to outright kill Alch even during Chemical Rage. He can use Blade Flurry to soak Alch's Unstable Concoction and Healing Ward to sustain his team and extend the fight past Chemical Rage's duration.
Blade Fury can dispel both Pit of Malice and Firestorm. Healing Ward provides Jugg and his team with AOE healing to counteract Underlords AOE damage. Omnislash and Swiftslash (Jugg's Aghanim's Scepter) can be used during Pit of Malice's root and dispel him, while not being affected by Atrophy Aura for their duration.
Healing Ward provides massive AOE healing, which makes it significantly more difficult for Thirst to empower Bloodseeker. Blade Fury can be used to soak Blood Rite, while Omnislash and Swiftslash (Aghanim's Scepter upgrade) provide invulnerability allowing Jugg to use them during Rupture without getting damaged and pack enough burst damage to outright kill Bloodseeker.
Juggernaut is one of the strongest early game carries that doesn't mind grouping up to take objectives early and that's Spectre's weakest point of the game. She simply lacks the tools to deal with early aggression. His Healing Ward provides massive AOE sustain, Omnislash can outright kill Spectre, Blade Fury dispels Spectral Dagger and later in the game Blade Dance starts healing him.
Blade Fury can be used to greatly mitigate the damage and Crowd Control of Hoof Stomp and Double Edge. Omnislash and Swiftslash (Aghanim's Scepter upgrade) allows Juggernaut to stay on top of any retreating with Stampede targets. His abudance of sustain trough Healing Ward and his Blade Dance Lifesteal talent can easily result in a situation where Juggernaut completely outheals Centaur's Retaliate and total damage output.
Blade Fury dispels Fire Spirits and Sun Ray. He can kill Supernova fast with high attack speed.
Healing Ward sustains allies through Phoenix’s damage over time.
Omnislash ignores Bristle’s back reduction when isolated. Juggernaut can kite him with Blade Fury while healing from Ward. Bristleback has no hard lockdown to punish Juggernaut’s aggression.
Juggernaut’s Omnislash bypasses Kraken Shell mitigation early. He can disengage from Ravage with Blade Fury. Tide’s low armor early makes him vulnerable to high Juggernaut burst.
Juggernaut can spin away from Slithereen Crush and Corrosive Haze. Slardar struggles against healing and kiting from Juggernaut. Slardar’s armor reduction is less effective if Juggernaut isolates him with Omnislash.
Juggernaut can dodge Torrent and X combo with Blade Fury. Kunkka is slow and easy to isolate for Omnislash. Healing Ward offsets Kunkka's burst damage from Boat.
Juggernaut can dodge Firestorm and root effects with Blade Fury. Omnislash punishes Underlord’s slow and predictable movement. Healing Ward can outlast Underlord’s sustained damage in teamfights.
Blade Fury negates Bramble Maze and Cursed Crown. Juggernaut’s Omnislash punishes her low HP pool. He can chase her even inside Shadow Realm duration with Blink or team setup.

Muerta’s Pierce the Veil makes her immune to physical damage—Juggernaut’s main output. She can kite Juggernaut and deal magic damage outside his Blade Fury immunity. Omnislash is completely negated during her ultimate.
Night Stalker excels in nighttime vision and silences Juggernaut. The silence disables Blade Fury. He also builds tanky and can chase Juggernaut with ease making it easy to lock down juggernaut before he gets spells off.
Riki’s Smoke Screen disables Juggernaut’s right-clicks and spells. Juggernaut struggles to deal with invisibility without detection. Riki can gank and snowball early, shutting Juggernaut’s farm.
Morphling’s high armor and Agi-based tankiness make him hard to burst. He can waveform out of Omnislash or replicate Juggernaut’s stats/abilities. Magic burst and sustain make him win drawn-out fights.
Anti-Mage blinks out of Omnislash easily. He burns Juggernaut's mana, making it harder to Blade Fury or heal. AM scales faster and wins late-game duels.
