How Brewmaster and Nyx Assassin perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Brewmaster and Nyx Assassin win 54.55% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 132 matches.
Hunting for a pickoff becomes more consistent with these two. Nyx Assassin can open from Vendetta with an Impale, giving Brewmaster a clean window to apply Cinder Brew. This slow and damage amplification helps ensure the target can't escape before the rest of the damage lands. If the enemy is tough or has an escape, Brewmaster can use Primal Split to add a lot more lockdown to the mix. The Earth panda's stun and the Storm panda's cyclone provide layers of control that can lock a single target down for an extended duration, often leading to a kill where one hero might have failed alone.
