How Centaur Warrunner and Vengeful Spirit perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Centaur Warrunner and Vengeful Spirit win 53.37% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 13,327 matches.
Facing a Centaur Warrunner initiation gets more complicated when a Vengeful Spirit is backing him up. Wave of Terror reduces armor, making Stampede and any follow-up physical attacks hit harder. Vengeful Spirit can also add her own stun with Magic Missile to extend the lockdown after a Hoof Stomp, securing a kill on a single target. If Centaur finds himself out of position after initiating, a well-timed Nether Swap can also pull him back to safety, letting him reset and go again.
The game plan for this duo is fairly direct. Centaur Warrunner looks for a Stampede opening, and Vengeful Spirit enables him with her debuffs and control. This works well for picking off isolated heroes, but can falter against teams that can disengage or kite the initial charge. The bonus damage from Vengeance Aura is certainly helpful, but it doesn't fundamentally change how either hero wants to play. It’s a pairing that offers reliable initiation and lockdown, but lacks the overwhelming teamfight presence or scaling to consistently dominate a match on its own.
How this pairing performs across skill brackets — the duo's team win rate in recent ranked matches, split by average match rank. Ranks with too few recent matches are omitted. These rows use the last 30 days of quality-filtered ranked matches, all patches in that span combined — a wider window than the patch-scoped count above, so the per-rank match totals can exceed it.
