Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41f win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41f, Chaos Knight wins the Chaos Knight vs Medusa matchup: Chaos Knight beats Medusa in 52.08% of 8,539 ranked matches.
Thinking Chaos Knight's illusions can simply run down Medusa is a common trap. While a successful jump with Phantasm is threatening, Medusa is unusually well-equipped to handle it. Stone Gaze can completely neutralize the initial assault, either petrifying the illusions or forcing them to turn away, which buys her enough time to survive. A well-placed Mystic Snake can also bounce between the clumped illusions, dealing heavy damage and restoring her mana. This all depends on Medusa’s reaction time, though. If Chaos Knight catches her without her ultimate available or has enough damage to burn through her Mana Shield before she can press it, he secures the kill. The fight is a genuine test of initiation versus survival.
