How Underlord and Pugna perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Underlord and Pugna win 52.07% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 3,622 matches.
Setting up a teamfight with Fiend's Gate offers a good window for this pair to work. Underlord can create chaos and lock down a key target with Pit of Malice, giving Pugna a stationary enemy for Nether Blast and Life Drain. If Pugna can also get a Decrepify onto that rooted hero, the combined magic damage from Firestorm and his own spells can be significant. Underlord's natural tankiness and Atrophy Aura also help create a safer pocket for the otherwise fragile Pugna to operate from.
The success of this duo often depends on landing their combo before the enemy can react. Since neither Underlord nor Pugna has an instant stun, mobile heroes can often escape the Pit of Malice before taking critical damage. Teams facing this combination will prioritize building magic resistance items and focusing Pugna down early in fights. If Pugna is silenced or bursted before he can contribute, Underlord is left without his main source of follow-up damage, making it much harder to convert his setup into kills.
