Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Phantom Assassin wins the Muerta vs Phantom Assassin matchup: Phantom Assassin beats Muerta in 54.34% of 7,460 ranked matches.
Trying to farm a side lane as Muerta often feels like an invitation for Phantom Assassin to jump you. Before she has access to key items or her ultimate, Muerta is a fragile target with limited escape. She has to play cautiously because a surprise Phantom Strike from the fog can mean instant death if a few crits land. Her main defense, The Calling, can be dodged or ignored by a Phantom Assassin with a BKB, leaving Muerta with no way to stop the burst damage.
The matchup gets much more complicated once Muerta gets Pierce the Veil. Activating it makes her immune to all of Phantom Assassin's physical damage, which can completely turn a gank around. However, the advantage is temporary. A smart PA can simply use Phantom Strike to disengage and wait out the ultimate's duration before re-engaging. This makes the fight a test of reaction time. If Muerta can't press her button before she gets stunned or bursted, she dies. Since PA usually gets to choose when the fight starts, she has a slight edge.
