How Abaddon and Arc Warden perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Abaddon and Arc Warden win 52.99% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,955 matches.
Keeping an Arc Warden alive through a chaotic teamfight is where this duo finds its footing. Abaddon’s Aphotic Shield is a perfect tool for the job, letting Arc Warden continue attacking from his Magnetic Field by dispelling any stuns or slows that land. If the enemy team commits heavy burst, Borrowed Time offers a powerful secondary save. The problem is that this partnership is almost entirely defensive. Abaddon provides very little lockdown to hold targets in place for Arc Warden to actually kill, and their offensive abilities don't combo together. One hero saves while the other does damage from a distance, but they rarely combine their strengths to proactively win a fight.
