How Arc Warden and Warlock perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Arc Warden and Warlock win 50.76% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 2,953 matches.
Landing a good Fatal Bonds on multiple heroes can set up Arc Warden for a lot of damage. With his Tempest Double active, both units can focus a single bonded target, causing the shared damage to quickly wear down the other linked enemies. Warlock’s own Chaotic Offering and Upheaval provide the mass control needed for Arc Warden to position his hero and his double safely, letting them both attack freely. This creates a solid window where the enemy team is slowed, stunned, and taking amplified damage from two sources at once.
The success of this pairing often hinges on that initial setup, however. If Chaotic Offering is dodged or the enemy team isn't grouped for Fatal Bonds, the combination doesn't offer much. Arc Warden is a slippery hero, but Warlock's kit provides no instant save if he gets caught and focused. Teams playing against this will learn to spread out to avoid the bonds and will try to jump the real Arc Warden before his double and Warlock's Golem can overwhelm the fight, making their effectiveness less reliable from game to game.
