How Chaos Knight and Enigma perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Chaos Knight and Enigma win 52.82% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,897 matches.
Landing a big Black Hole gives Chaos Knight's illusions a perfect window to deal damage without getting kited or focused. Enigma can also use Malefice to extend the lockdown on a priority target once his ultimate ends. The problem is that both heroes are incredibly reliant on their long-cooldown ultimates to win fights. If Enigma's Black Hole is cancelled or misses the key heroes, Chaos Knight is often left without a good setup for Phantasm. This mutual dependency on landing perfect ultimates means fights are very all-or-nothing. The plan either works flawlessly for a teamwipe or it falls apart completely, making the pairing effective but not consistently advantageous.
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.
