How Crystal Maiden and Omniknight perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Crystal Maiden and Omniknight win 51.71% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 468 matches.
Laning together often feels a bit sluggish, as both heroes lack mobility and real kill threat on their own. The main benefit is that Crystal Maiden’s Arcane Aura gives a mana-hungry hero like Omniknight the resources he needs to keep casting his heals and buffs. This makes the mid-game sustain much stronger. In fights, Omniknight can use Guardian Angel to protect a channeling Freezing Field, but that's a fairly basic defensive interaction. Beyond the mana regeneration, their kits don't really combine in any special way. They're a passive, defensive pair that can be effective if the game goes long, but they don't create powerful timings or advantages on their own.
