How Arc Warden and Primal Beast perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Arc Warden and Primal Beast win 49.62% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,588 matches.
Getting caught by Primal Beast's Pulverize becomes a lot more dangerous with an Arc Warden on the enemy team. The long, stationary lockdown gives Arc a perfect window to stack Spark Wraiths and land a full Flux without needing a creep wave nearby. Magnetic Field can also be dropped right on top of the channel, protecting Primal Beast and making it harder for allies to save the target. However, this combo is quite situational. Primal Beast often initiates chaotically, diving deep where Arc Warden can't safely follow with his main hero. The two want to play at very different speeds and positions, so coordinating their biggest spells can be a challenge outside of specific ganks.
