How Broodmother and Nyx Assassin perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Broodmother and Nyx Assassin win 53.69% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,436 matches.
Playing against this pair can feel like you're being attacked on two fronts. Broodmother demands constant attention in one lane, forcing heroes to rotate and deal with her webs and spiders. This map-wide distraction is often the perfect opening for a Nyx Assassin to find isolated targets with Vendetta. If Nyx does rotate to Brood's lane, an Impale can easily secure a kill under the spider swarm. The synergy isn't overwhelming, though. Their game plans can be quite separate, with Broodmother wanting to control one area while Nyx roams everywhere else. Their impact together relies more on creating general map chaos than on any specific combo.
