How Clinkz and Necrophos perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Clinkz and Necrophos win 55.09% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 933 matches.
Dropping a hero low with Burning Barrage is the perfect setup for a Reaper's Scythe kill. This core pattern of Clinkz initiating from the shadows and Necrophos securing the takedown is incredibly effective for controlling fights. The constant damage from Heartstopper Aura also softens everyone up, making it easier for Clinkz to find a vulnerable target and burst them down. If the enemy team tries to retaliate against Necrophos, his Ghost Shroud makes him immune to their physical damage, creating an ideal window for Clinkz to unload on the attackers. Together, they excel at picking off one hero at the start of a fight and creating an immediate advantage.
