Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41f win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41f, Sand King wins the Arc Warden vs Sand King matchup: Sand King beats Arc Warden in 50.92% of 9,488 ranked matches.
Getting jumped by a Sand King is a constant threat for Arc Warden. Sand King’s entire game plan involves finding a key target and blowing them up with Burrowstrike into Epicenter. Arc Warden and his Tempest Double often need to stand still inside Magnetic Field to deal damage, making them perfect targets for that initiation. A good Sand King can blink past defensive Spark Wraiths and stun you before you can react. The advantage is only slight, though. The Tempest Double creates a second body, forcing Sand King to guess correctly, and well-placed Wraiths can still scout his approach. This creates a constant positioning mind game for both heroes.
