How Ancient Apparition and Enigma perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Ancient Apparition and Enigma win 53.80% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 2,305 matches.
Facing a Black Hole while an Ice Blast sails overhead is a nightmare scenario, as Enigma provides the perfect setup for Ancient Apparition's shatter. In theory, this pairing delivers a clean teamfight wipe. In practice, both heroes are committing their longest cooldowns to a single moment. If the fight starts poorly or Enigma’s channeling is broken, both ultimates can be completely wasted. This duo also tends to create a passive early game, as neither hero applies significant lane pressure before they get their key levels and items. While the combination has a very high ceiling, reaching that point without falling behind is often the entire game.
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.
