Strategy
Consider skilling Press the Attack on level 1 or 2 if you are being harassed by dispellable damage-over-time spells.
Use Overwhelming Odds to secure a creep last hit and harass the enemy heroes at the same time, especially if it is the enemy ranged creep.
Aggro creeps on yourself to increase Moment of Courage procs. It can be useful for denying as well. You can also abuse the global aggro mechanic to force creeps to hit you.
Once you get {blink-dagger}, do not give up farm to start running around the map. Keep making plays while Duel is up and farm in between ganks and teamfights.
Duelling any hero is fine in early to mid game to collect Duel victories, which will then allow you to potentially solo kill heroes.
In mid to late game, make sure to Duel specific heroes and not care about Duel victory as much.
Sometimes, it is better not to initiate fights but rather stay back to save an ally with Press the Attack and turn the fight around. Patience is key.
{aghanims-scepter} is a great alternative to {black-king-bar} since it provides you with debuff immunity during the Duel. However, purchasing {black-king-bar} afterwards can be very useful.
Counter Strategy
In the lane against Legion Commander, stay away from your partner to reduce impact of Overwhelming Odds
Avoid wasting mana on harassing Legion Commander with spells that can be dispelled by Press the Attack. Use those spells once she has used Press the Attack
Avoid getting into melee range of Legion Commander
Keep an eye on Legion Commander's {blink-dagger} or {shadow-blade} purchase. She will want to find pickoffs so it's good to group up and bait with one hero and then to counter-attack
Good counters items against Legion Commander's duel are {euls-scepter-of-divinity}, {linkens-sphere}, {ethereal-blade} and {aeon-disk}
Legion Commander gets debuff immunity similar to {black-king-bar} when duelling with {aghanims-scepter}.
