Phantom Lancer Synergies (7.41e)
Best heroes to pair with Phantom Lancer in Dota 2 7.41e, and the worst pairings, ranked by team win rate over ranked matches.
Phantom Lancer wants the fight to last so his clones snowball, and he loves heroes who clump enemies for him to swarm. He pairs best with mana-battery and AoE-lock partners: Keeper of the Light solves his early mana and provides the wave-clear and illuminate to push, while Techies and Phoenix supply the AoE control he fights behind. Axe groups the enemy so PL's clone army gets free hits. Give PL chaos and clump, and his illusions become an unkillable wall of damage.
