Arc Warden vs Undying

How this matchup plays

Fighting into a Tombstone presents a unique problem for Arc Warden. The zombies that spawn can quickly swarm both his main hero and his Tempest Double, applying slows that make it impossible to stand and fight inside a Magnetic Field. He's forced to either run or spend precious time clearing out the swarm. However, Arc Warden is also one of the best heroes for destroying the Tombstone itself. With his double, he can apply a huge amount of focused damage from a safe distance, often killing the source of the problem before it can get out of control.

This matchup often comes down to timings. An early-game Undying can run at Arc Warden with Decay and make his life miserable, slowing down his farm. But if Arc Warden gets a good start and finds his core items, the tables turn. He farms much faster and scales significantly harder, eventually treating Undying as little more than a walking ultimate. The game really depends on whether Undying and his team can leverage his early strength to create a big enough lead before Arc Warden’s Tempest Double comes fully online.
