How Arc Warden and Pugna perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Arc Warden and Pugna win 50.23% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,766 matches.
Picking both Arc Warden and Pugna often forces the team into an awkward game plan. Both heroes want to take over the mid-game by pushing towers and dealing heavy magic damage, which makes the team's entire damage profile easy for enemies to itemize against. Their kits lack a strong, direct combination; while Pugna can use Decrepify to amplify Arc Warden’s spell damage, it also makes the target immune to his physical attacks. Magnetic Field can offer some protection for a channeled Life Drain, but this is a defensive, situational play. They tend to compete for the same space on the map and farm priority, leaving the draft feeling incomplete without a strong frontliner or consistent physical damage source.
