How Chaos Knight and Slardar perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41f, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41f, Chaos Knight and Slardar win 52.23% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 7,718 matches.
Catching someone out of position becomes a simple kill once these two get their key items. Slardar can initiate and apply Corrosive Haze to a primary target, and the fight is practically over. The huge armor reduction sets the stage perfectly for Chaos Knight to Reality Rift in and drop Phantasm. The combined lockdown from Chaos Bolt and Slithereen Crush ensures the target can't escape, while the amplified physical damage from CK and his illusions will melt even durable heroes in seconds. They form a powerful mid-game pick-off machine that can secure a lead by repeatedly deleting enemies from the map.
