Shadow Fiend Synergies (7.41)
Best heroes to pair with Shadow Fiend in Dota 2 7.41, 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 (53.2%) and Wraith King (52.9%) hold the line while SF stacks souls, and Tidehunter (52.0%) Ravages a clumped team straight into a max-stack Requiem. Shadow Shaman (51.2%) and Legion Commander (51.2%) provide the single-target lock that lets SF safely cast. Give SF a frontline and a clump-and-stun, and his combo erases teamfights.
