Spirit Breaker is the best ganker according to me. He can just charge in and kill the opponent hero easily.
This guide is just to amplify the fact that invisible heroes like 
Clinkz, 
Bounty Hunter, 
Phantom Lancer, 
Riki and other heroes like 
Viper and 
Drow Rangerwhen they buy 
Shadow Blade are hard to kill by any single hero but Spirit Breaker is the perfect guy to counter them in the mid and early game. These above heroes are mostly farm dependant and in early and mid game they are of less use. If you want an easy late game or win easily pick Spirit Breaker by my suggestions. He can just own these heroes and they cant do anything about it.
This guide is especially to counter the invisible heroes with cost effective items but if you really like Spirit Breaker you can play him with the same build and not buy the Dust of Appearance, that's it.
Any starting items suit on Spirit Breaker. Its best to have 2 sets of Tango rather than single Tango and 
Healing Salve. The use of it is that barathrum is a strenght based hero and if harassed also wont lose the hp to use a salve or the player better not stay in lane with ow hp. So i prefer two sets just to keep the hit point in the max half before he reaches level 6. 3 Iron Branch or a 
Gauntlets of Strength, anything would work but i prefer 3 branch as they give slight mana and agility resulting in some early attack speed animations. Power Treads and Mask of Madness are the basic item that bara needs and i prefer him to have a Bracer before buying the Mask of Madness as it makes him more prone to take damage. Upgrading the bracer to Drum of Endurance is cost effective as it gives extra movement speed while activating it so that u can run away after killing the hero. Black King Bar is a must item if the opponent team has too many disables to stop you.
= Drum of Endurance also helps u by increasing attack speed and the best is due to the movement speed as this does more damage when you collide with heroes during charging and on the last charged unit.
Once you reach level 6, your laning work is done. You should move around ganking others so that they are not able to farm fast. By level 6 it is mostly expected of Spirit Breaker to complete his Bracer, Power Treads,and at least Morbid Mask if not able to complete Mask of Madness.
*So now its for the invisible heroes to suffer as they are the real pain in team fights or initiations. So before they initiate its Spirit Breakers work to stop and get them out of the world..
= Get a pair of Dust of Appearance in your inventory.Now the work starts :p
= Charge the hero once you see them on the map and relax.
= Once these heroes see you coming in on their face either they will retreat or go invisible.. but to their disadvantage the buff can be seen on their head whether invisible or not.
= When you hit them they are stunned and if they are invisible just use Dust of Appearance and keep on hitting them...eventually use ur ult and kill these heroes off as they dont have anything early game to fight you.
= Do not overcommit urself by charging in between 3 of enemy heroes because you will die after killing the hero and its not worth it as you need to get items by earning from these ganks.
Cons are mostly important in these games so you better know them.
Ghost sceptor can spoil your fun as they can go in ghost form and you would be standing in front of them watching
= Even the cyclone effect from eul's sceptor of divinityis the worst counter as you are prone to miss ur ult or miss your charge stun on that hero.
= 
Linken's Sphere can also be a pain for you as this cancels your charge and you cant charge the heroes. The Linken's Spherecool down is less than your charge cool down,so you become less effective in charging that hero.
The relative advantage to you is that these items are not easily farmed and they will just counter you, But they have nothing against your team mates. They would waste their core farm for these saving items from you which would help your team. After all you are delaying their farm and wasting their slots.
Pros'::
There are numerous pros of this hero...... *If the hero ganking you dont have stun or disables, or you have survived their stuns and disables then you can save urself by charging out to any opponent creeps on the map...and cancel your charge once you are safe.
* The bash goes through Black King Bar so you can stunlock heroes while they use their BKB giving your team an advantage.
* Really mobile hero of Dota 2....can have his presence anywhere
1.Not able to farm fast in lane will not down you as you would be getting money from ganks. So there is no need to be upset by poor farm.
2.You can cover up ur farm by ganking and once you get Mask of Madness you can farm ancients easily which would give you gold and xp.
3. Black King Bar is good if the opponents are really disabling or nuking you.
4.If all the opponents are low hp heroes and not strength based, i would suggest you to go for aghanim's sceptor rather than Monkey King Bar or Daedalus as this would be efficient and would be more helpful with only 20 sec cool down and some aoe effect.
Depending on the match you can go for Monkey King Bar, if the opponent purchased 
Butterfly or 
Phantom Assassin is one of the opponent. If you want push you can go for 
Mjollnir as the chain would help you with enormous bash and attack speed once Mask of Madness is activated.
If anyone of you prefer anything else or have any questions just ask me and i would explain it to you.
