Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Nyx Assassin wins the Alchemist vs Nyx Assassin matchup: Nyx Assassin beats Alchemist in 54.93% of 426 ranked matches.
Farming up as Alchemist against a Nyx Assassin feels like a constant threat. Your whole game is about hitting an item timing, but Nyx is designed to find and disrupt you before that happens. His presence forces you to play safer and can slow down your farm. The real problem comes from his spell kit. Mana Burn chips away at your ability to cast Acid Spray and Unstable Concoction, which is surprisingly effective. And if you do try to throw your stun at Nyx Assassin, a well-timed Spiked Carapace will turn it back on you, often leading to your death. While your Chemical Rage makes you hard to kill, Nyx makes it much harder to get there in the first place.
