How Chaos Knight and Tusk perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Chaos Knight and Tusk win 47.85% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 2,715 matches.
Trying to lock down a target with this pair can feel a little clumsy. Chaos Knight wants to Reality Rift a single enemy into his illusions for a quick burst, but Tusk's abilities can get in the way. An ill-timed Ice Shards can block Chaos Knight from reaching the hero he just pulled, effectively saving them. Both heroes offer initiation, but they don't set each other up very well. Tusk is great at starting a chaotic brawl with Snowball, while Chaos Knight is much better at isolating and deleting one priority target. This slight conflict in their game plans means they often fail to amplify each other's strengths, leading to less consistent results than you might expect.
