Why this works
You might think putting two "zoo" heroes together is overkill, but it creates a perfectly coordinated siege engine. Chen’s army gets the bonus damage from Lycan's Howl, while Lycan and his wolves get sustained by Chen's auras and saved by a global Hand of God during deep tower dives. Their combined forces create an overwhelming push that can take objectives far earlier than opponents are prepared to defend.
