How Brewmaster and Crystal Maiden perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Brewmaster and Crystal Maiden win 51.01% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 2,519 matches.
Having enough mana for another Thunder Clap and Cinder Brew is the core of this pairing. Crystal Maiden's Arcane Aura solves Brewmaster's typical resource problems, letting him play aggressively and control the tempo from the early game. He can farm faster and harass more often without worrying about running dry before a key fight. A key detail is that his main hero still regenerates mana from the aura during Primal Split, so he can reform ready for another round of spells. While the added mana helps them execute their own plan, the duo remains vulnerable. Both heroes are relatively slow and lack escapes, making them susceptible to being picked off before they can have an impact.
