How Arc Warden and Snapfire perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Arc Warden and Snapfire win 50.68% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 5,781 matches.
Picking these two together hinges on trading defensive spells. The main idea is for Snapfire to use Firesnap Cookie to reposition Arc Warden, either saving him from a bad spot or launching him forward to drop a well-placed Magnetic Field. In return, Arc Warden can use that same Magnetic Field to protect Snapfire, making it much harder for enemies to interrupt her Mortimer Kisses. It’s a decent exchange of abilities, but since both heroes can be self-sufficient, they don't always need each other's help, making the combination feel more like a bonus than a core strategy.
During teamfights, the effectiveness of this duo comes down to execution and positioning. If Arc Warden is playing from the back with his Tempest Double and Snapfire is far away, they offer each other nothing. The Cookie-to-Field combo requires them to be close, which is often where the enemy wants them. Opponents will try to burst one hero before the other can react. Success depends on Snapfire being ready to save a caught Arc Warden, or on him being able to place his field on her before she gets stunned, which isn't always possible against teams with instant lockdown.
