Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Nyx Assassin wins the Earth Spirit vs Nyx Assassin matchup: Nyx Assassin beats Earth Spirit in 52.41% of 4,625 ranked matches.
Thinking Earth Spirit can just roll on Nyx Assassin is a common mistake. A patient Nyx can simply wait for the initiation and use Spiked Carapace to stun Earth Spirit mid-combo, completely turning the gank around. This forces the engagement into a mind game. The Earth Spirit player has to find a way to land a silence with Geomagnetic Grip before committing, which disables Carapace and secures the kill. The fight often comes down to who lands their key ability first. An ambush from Nyx's Vendetta is equally dangerous, meaning neither hero has a clear, consistent advantage when they find each other on the map.
