How Crystal Maiden and Night Stalker perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Crystal Maiden and Night Stalker win 53.51% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,340 matches.
Hunting for kills during the first night becomes much simpler for Night Stalker. Crystal Maiden’s Arcane Aura keeps his mana topped off, letting him repeatedly use Void to farm and harass without needing to ferry out consumables. When he's ready to go on a target, her lockdown is perfect setup. A single Frostbite holds an enemy in place long enough for Night Stalker to close the distance, apply his own slow, and secure the kill with his silence and attacks. This early aggression often snowballs, as Crystal Maiden’s spells continue to control teamfights, letting a fed Night Stalker run over the enemy team.
