How Underlord and Vengeful Spirit perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Underlord and Vengeful Spirit win 55.24% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,814 matches.
Getting swapped by Vengeful Spirit is already bad, but landing inside Underlord's Pit of Malice is often a death sentence. The combination of armor reduction from Wave of Terror and damage reduction from Atrophy Aura makes it impossible for most cores to fight back effectively. Underlord provides the area control and team mobility with Fiend's Gate, while Vengeful Spirit offers the single-target lockdown and initiation to make it all work. This pairing isn't that common right now, so maybe it's not quite as straightforward as it seems on paper.
How this pairing performs across skill brackets — the duo's team win rate in recent ranked matches, split by average match rank. Ranks with too few recent matches are omitted. These rows use the last 30 days of quality-filtered ranked matches, all patches in that span combined — a wider window than the patch-scoped count above, so the per-rank match totals can exceed it.
