How Chaos Knight and Medusa perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Chaos Knight and Medusa win 46.11% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 180 matches.
Running two hard carries lets you split the map and apply pressure from multiple angles. Chaos Knight can fight and take objectives early with Phantasm, creating the space Medusa needs to farm safely. Later in the game, a well-timed Stone Gaze completely immobilizes enemies, setting them up for a simple Reality Rift and a massive burst from CK's illusions. Granted, you don't see this pair together much these days, so nailing the game's rhythm could be tricky. Their combined physical damage also melts buildings very quickly.
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.

| Crusader & Archon | 44.29% | 210 |
