Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41f win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41f, Phoenix wins the Night Stalker vs Phoenix matchup: Phoenix beats Night Stalker in 51.66% of 18,773 ranked matches.
Thinking Night Stalker can simply run at Phoenix and destroy the Supernova egg is often a mistake. Before Phoenix ults, he can land Fire Spirits, which guts Night Stalker’s attack speed and makes him struggle to finish the job alone. The matchup really swings on whether that ever happens. A good Night Stalker will use the vision and silence from Hunter in the Night and Crippling Fear to catch Phoenix out of position, preventing him from using Icarus Dive to escape or even casting his spells. It’s a classic initiator duel; who gets the jump and executes their combo cleanly usually wins the fight.
