How Crystal Maiden and Lycan perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Crystal Maiden and Lycan win 51.85% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 2,426 matches.
Keeping constant pressure on towers early is the main idea behind this pairing. Crystal Maiden’s Arcane Aura provides the steady mana regeneration Lycan needs to spam his wolves for farming and pushing, accelerating his timings for key items and objectives like Roshan. A well-timed Frostbite can also lock down a target for Lycan and his summons to quickly overwhelm. The synergy is strongest before teamfights become too chaotic, as Crystal Maiden’s poor mobility makes it hard for her to keep pace with a Shapeshifted Lycan. If he dives deep, she is often left behind and vulnerable, which limits how well they can coordinate in the late game.
