How Crystal Maiden and Magnus perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Crystal Maiden and Magnus win 50.41% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 16,052 matches.
Getting a constant supply of mana from Arcane Aura lets Magnus play much more aggressively with his farming. He can spam Shockwave to clear waves and keep Empower active on his carry without needing to ferry out as many Clarities. This accelerates his whole game, letting him reach his Blink Dagger timing and start looking for teamfights sooner. The synergy isn't flashy; it's a straightforward boost to his economy that helps him hit his timings more reliably.
The payoff for this is how well their ultimates can combine. A good Reverse Polarity sets up a perfect Freezing Field, and a Crystal Maiden's Frostbite can hold someone still for Magnus to Skewer them back. The problem is that both heroes are vulnerable before Magnus gets his core items. Crystal Maiden doesn't offer much protection if the enemy decides to run at your Magnus early on. If he gets shut down, the combo never has a chance to come online, making this pairing heavily dependent on the early game going smoothly.
