How Arc Warden and Wraith King perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Arc Warden and Wraith King win 54.22% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 664 matches.
Thinking of Arc Warden as a solo operator misses the point. He excels when a durable frontliner draws all the attention, and Wraith King is perfect for that role. With Reincarnation, WK forces enemies to commit spells and attacks twice to bring him down. This creates a huge window for Arc Warden to position his Tempest Double and set up Magnetic Field. The field protects Wraith King from right-clicks while he's in the thick of it, making an already tough hero a nightmare to deal with before he even uses his second life.
The game plan becomes very straightforward once Wraith King has his ultimate. He can confidently walk up to towers or into Roshan, knowing his second life buys time for Arc Warden to react from a safe distance. Enemies are stuck in a terrible position: if they focus Wraith King, they get picked apart by the Tempest Double. If they try to go for the real Arc Warden, they have to get past a durable, slowing, stunning frontline. This duo excels at closing out games by creating relentless, low-risk sieges that opponents struggle to break.
