Ursa is both a hard lane and game matchup for Underlord as Fury Swipes' stacking damage does not get mitigated by Atrophy Aura. Enrage dispels both Pit of Malice and Firestorm and Earthshock can still be used during Pit of Malice, given it does not make Ursa leap forward.

Most of Ursa's abilities are active appart from Fury Swipes, which is his main damage steroid that Wall of Replica and Normal Punch (Aghanim's Scepter Upgrade) Illusions do not inherit. Despite being a melee hero Ursa can focus down any Ion Shelled creeps in lane with Overpower and Fury Swipes to mitigate getting harassed and DS generally finds himself struggling greatly when facing Ursa in lane.
