Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Chaos Knight wins the Chaos Knight vs Pugna matchup: Chaos Knight beats Pugna in 52.06% of 2,787 ranked matches.
Thinking you can kite a Chaos Knight with Pugna is often a mistake. Once Chaos Knight gets his Phantasm illusions, they can easily overwhelm Pugna, who has no good way to clear them. CK can also use Reality Rift to get on top of him instantly and interrupt a Life Drain with Chaos Bolt. This isn't a totally one-sided fight, though. A well-timed Decrepify is a perfect answer to CK's physical all-in, buying crucial time for an escape or for teammates to react. Nether Ward also makes it painful for the low-mana Chaos Knight to use his spells, which keeps the matchup from being too lopsided.
