How Arc Warden and Keeper of the Light perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Arc Warden and Keeper of the Light win 47.26% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 237 matches.
Facing this combination often feels more straightforward than threatening. Both Arc Warden and Keeper of the Light want to occupy the same space far behind the frontline, making them an easy, stationary target for coordinated dives. While they can push lanes hard, they offer very little kill threat together early on, letting opponents farm safely and wait for opportunities. In larger fights, their kits can actively work against each other; a stray Blinding Light can easily knock an enemy out of Arc Warden's Magnetic Field, saving them from the Tempest Double. Since Arc Warden is largely self-sufficient, the mana from Keeper of the Light is often redundant, creating a fragile backline that lacks lockdown.
