Shadow Fiend Synergies (7.41f)
Best heroes to pair with Shadow Fiend in Dota 2 7.41f, and the worst pairings, ranked by team win rate over ranked matches.
Shadow Fiend brings a massive AoE Requiem nuke and a powerful armor-reduction presence — he wants targets clumped and locked, plus a save for his fragile body. He pairs best with AoE setup and front line: Spectre and Wraith King hold the line while SF stacks souls, and Tidehunter Ravages a clumped team straight into a max-stack Requiem. Shadow Shaman and Legion Commander provide the single-target lock that lets SF safely cast. Give SF a frontline and a clump-and-stun, and his combo erases teamfights.
