How Crystal Maiden and Pugna perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Crystal Maiden and Pugna win 50.58% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 520 matches.
Pushing out lanes and taking early towers becomes a lot smoother with this pairing. Pugna can constantly spam Nether Blast to clear waves and pressure objectives from the start, thanks to the global mana sustain from Crystal Maiden's Arcane Aura. This lets him accelerate his own farm and create space for the whole team, since he rarely needs to return to base. Having all that extra mana also means Pugna can afford to use Life Drain more freely to heal up or finish off a kill. Later on, his Decrepify can set up a key enemy to melt under Crystal Maiden’s Freezing Field.
