How Clinkz and Vengeful Spirit perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Clinkz and Vengeful Spirit win 53.50% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 729 matches.
Taking over the map early becomes much easier when these two pair up. Vengeful Spirit provides the perfect setup for a Clinkz gank. Her stun locks a target down, and Wave of Terror shreds their armor, letting Clinkz's physical attacks from Skeleton Walk land for huge damage. Vengeance Aura also gives a passive damage boost, which is exactly what a right-click carry like Clinkz wants to find kills and get ahead on farm. Nether Swap can even be used aggressively to pull a key target right into his lap.
This combo comes online very early. Vengeful Spirit can rotate to find an opening, and Clinkz can follow up from invisibility for an almost guaranteed kill. They use this pressure to secure objectives and starve the enemy of space. If Clinkz gets a good start, the game snowballs quickly with the extra damage from Venge's aura helping to melt towers. The enemy has to play defensively, grouping up and using sentry wards to avoid getting picked off, hoping to survive until they have the items to withstand Clinkz's initial burst.
