How Ancient Apparition and Elder Titan perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Ancient Apparition and Elder Titan win 50.13% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 758 matches.
Landing a big Ice Blast after Elder Titan uses Echo Stomp seems like a clean setup, but the coordination is awkward. Any damage wakes sleeping targets, so Ancient Apparition’s ultimate has to arrive after the Stomp fully channels, which can be difficult to time with its travel speed. A premature Chilling Touch attack or Ice Vortex can also ruin the setup entirely. Outside of this specific interaction, their plans can feel at odds. Elder Titan wants to be in the middle of the fight with Natural Order stripping resistances, while Ancient Apparition needs to stay far back. This positional difference often means they aren't helping each other as much as their kits might suggest on paper.
