How Clinkz and Crystal Maiden perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Clinkz and Crystal Maiden win 53.85% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 832 matches.
Getting caught by a Crystal Nova out of position is a death sentence with Clinkz nearby. The slow gives him a free window to land Tar Bomb and start his attack rotation, often securing a kill before you can react. Crystal Maiden's Frostbite offers an even more reliable root to hold a target down for Clinkz to unload. Beyond the gank setup, the global mana regeneration from Arcane Aura is a huge quality-of-life boost. It allows Clinkz to use his spells more aggressively to farm, shove waves, and stay active on the map instead of ferrying clarities or returning to base. He comes online faster and is always ready for the next fight.
