How Arc Warden and Grimstroke perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Arc Warden and Grimstroke win 51.97% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 3,275 matches.
Trying to deal with a double Flux from a Soulbind can be a real headache, since it isolates two heroes at once. The problem is that Arc Warden and Grimstroke often want to play the game in different ways. Arc Warden excels at creating pressure across the map, using his Tempest Double to farm and split-push while the main hero defends. This can leave Grimstroke wanting for a core to enable during mid-game teamfights. While a well-timed Ink Swell can help the Tempest Double secure a kill, the two heroes frequently operate on different timers and in different locations, making their powerful spells difficult to consistently coordinate into a winning play.
