How Arc Warden and Lich perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Arc Warden and Lich win 53.26% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 614 matches.
Splitting the map becomes a lot safer with a Lich on the team. Arc Warden needs time and space to get his core items, and Lich excels at creating that breathing room. If the enemy tries to group up and force an objective, a single Frost Shield on a tower or an ally can stall the push long enough for the Tempest Double to join the fight. This turns a defensive hold into a real threat. Later on, Lich’s Sinister Gaze offers a simple lockdown to guarantee a kill for Arc Warden, letting the duo pick off heroes and maintain control over the game's pace.
