How Arc Warden and Nyx Assassin perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Arc Warden and Nyx Assassin win 54.12% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 2,393 matches.
Trying to punish a split-pushing Arc Warden is risky when he has a Nyx Assassin for a bodyguard. If you jump the main hero, Nyx is often waiting just out of sight to counter with Impale and Spiked Carapace. Offensively, the combination is also decent. Nyx can scout with Vendetta to find an isolated hero, and Arc Warden’s Tempest Double can teleport in to add damage and a Magnetic Field for control and protection. The synergy can feel a bit disconnected, however. Nyx Assassin wants to be constantly active, while Arc Warden often needs to focus on his own farm, meaning they aren't always on the same page when a fight breaks out.
