Bristleback Synergies (7.41e)
Best heroes to pair with Bristleback in Dota 2 7.41e, and the worst pairings, ranked by team win rate over ranked matches.
Bristleback is a self-sufficient tank who soaks damage and out-sustains fights — he wants a carry to farm behind him and a healer to make him unkillable. He pairs best with hard-carries and sustain: Spectre and Wraith King scale safely behind his durable front line, while Naga Siren provides the AoE control to fight. Give Bristleback a scaling core and a heal, and he becomes an immovable wall the enemy can't kill or ignore.
