How Ancient Apparition and Arc Warden perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Ancient Apparition and Arc Warden win 54.34% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 2,924 matches.
Pushing out lanes with a Tempest Double can be a lonely job, but Ancient Apparition offers some global assistance. If Arc Warden finds an isolated enemy while split-pushing, an Ice Blast from across the map can secure a kill by preventing any healing and finishing them off. This turns Arc Warden's typical map pressure into actual kills without needing other heroes to rotate. Outside of this specific interaction, their kits don't have a lot of overlap. Arc Warden is self-sufficient with his Magnetic Field and farming speed, so he doesn't rely on the setup that Ancient Apparition provides as much as other cores might.
