Why this works
Applying Lycan's Howl to a full set of Phantasm illusions creates an overwhelming amount of physical damage that most teams can't handle. This duo focuses on coordinating their ultimates to secure objectives. Once Lycan pops Shapeshift and Chaos Knight uses Phantasm, they can melt Roshan or a barracks in seconds. Their playstyles align perfectly: both want to group up in the mid-game and force fights or take towers. If a target tries to run, Lycan provides the chase while Chaos Knight's Reality Rift ensures they can't get away from the combined army of summons and illusions.
