Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Arc Warden wins the Arc Warden vs Pugna matchup: Arc Warden beats Pugna in 50.96% of 2,129 ranked matches.
Relying on spells as Arc Warden can backfire heavily when a Pugna is on the map. The Tempest Double's constant spellcasting feeds right into a well-placed Nether Ward, which can melt both the clone and the real hero from a screen away. Pugna can also use Decrepify to survive your initial physical burst. On the other hand, Arc Warden has the tools to manage this. The Tempest Double can be sent to destroy the Ward from a safe distance before committing to a fight. And if you catch Pugna out of position, your high physical damage makes short work of him. Fights often hinge on who gets the jump and who can bait out the other's key ability first.
