How Bloodseeker and Nyx Assassin perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Bloodseeker and Nyx Assassin win 54.31% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 313 matches.
Rupturing an enemy makes them a sitting duck for Nyx Assassin's full combo. They can't run from the Vendetta hit or dodge the follow-up Impale, and any damage they take also fuels Bloodseeker’s Thirst bonuses. This turns the mid-game into a relentless series of pickoffs. Nyx can scout with his ultimate to find isolated heroes, and once Bloodseeker applies Rupture, the kill is often secured. This constant pressure forces the enemy team to huddle together for safety, giving your own cores free rein over the map and starving the opposition of safe farm. Together, they excel at punishing any opponent caught out of position.
