Slark Synergies (7.41e)

Best heroes to pair with Slark in Dota 2 7.41e, and the worst pairings, ranked by team win rate over ranked matches.

Slark wants to pick off isolated heroes, steal their stats, and snowball — he loves vision control and a save for his all-in dives. He pairs best with snowball cores and sustain: Spectre and Wraith King convert his pickoffs into a man-advantage, while Io Tethers and Relocates him into and out of risky dives. Give Slark vision and a save, and his Essence Shift snowball spirals out of the enemy's control.
