How Abaddon and Phoenix perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Abaddon and Phoenix win 49.63% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 2,150 matches.
Picking these two together looks good on paper but often proves to be a one-trick plan. The obvious synergy is Abaddon protecting Phoenix's Supernova with Aphotic Shield and his own body during Borrowed Time. This can work against uncoordinated teams. The problem is, a smart opponent will have the burst to break the shield instantly or simply reposition to hit the egg from an angle Abaddon can't cover. Outside of that one moment, their kits don't amplify each other much. Phoenix wants to set up for big area-of-effect magic damage, while Abaddon is a single-target sustainer and physical attacker. The success of the combo feels less about their teamwork and more about whether the enemy drafted to counter Supernova.
