How Chaos Knight and Primal Beast perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Chaos Knight and Primal Beast win 50.29% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 877 matches.
Controlling the map during the mid-game can feel a little more direct with this pairing. Primal Beast is great at starting fights, using Onslaught to get in and Pulverize to lock down a key hero. This long, stationary stun provides an ideal setup for Chaos Knight to land a max-duration Chaos Bolt after his Reality Rift. The target is held in place for a huge amount of time, letting both heroes pile on their damage and secure the kill. This opens up objectives and gives Chaos Knight space to farm. The main issue is that both heroes need to be right on top of the enemy, so teams with strong kiting or saves can sometimes split them up and neutralize the threat.
