Necrophos Synergies (7.41e)
Best heroes to pair with Necrophos in Dota 2 7.41e, and the worst pairings, ranked by team win rate over ranked matches.
Necrophos is a self-sufficient tank-mage who softens the enemy with Heartstopper and executes with Scythe — he wants snowball cores who exploit the kills and a front line he can heal. He pairs best with gankers and pickoff carries: Spectre and Bloodseeker close out the low-HP targets his aura creates, while Riki and Night Stalker hunt whatever his Scythe sets up. Legion Commander duels behind his sustain. Give Necrophos a kill-hungry core and his aura + execute snowballs fights.
