Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Arc Warden wins the Ancient Apparition vs Arc Warden matchup: Arc Warden beats Ancient Apparition in 53.48% of 3,332 ranked matches.
Finding the real Arc Warden can be a game of its own, and that's where he gets his edge. He typically plays from extreme range, sending his Tempest Double forward to do the work. This makes it tough for Ancient Apparition to land a clutch Cold Feet stun on the hero that actually matters. Arc Warden's Magnetic Field also creates a safe area for his team to fight from, buying time against AA's allies. The matchup isn't one-sided, though. A well-placed Ice Blast on the real Arc Warden is still a death sentence, shutting down the lifesteal he often relies on to survive. This means the advantage is conditional on Arc Warden's positioning and ability to dodge that one critical spell.
