How Crystal Maiden and Undying perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Crystal Maiden and Undying win 54.34% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 2,050 matches.
Taking early towers and controlling the map becomes much easier with this pair. The core of the synergy is Crystal Maiden's Arcane Aura, which completely solves Undying's early mana problems. This lets him spam Decay without a second thought, making him surprisingly tanky while turning enemy heroes into fragile targets. When Undying commits, Crystal Maiden follows up with Frostbite and Crystal Nova. The combination of slows and lockdown makes it nearly impossible for anyone to escape their lane pressure, leading to repeated kills and a miserable time for the opposing laners.
This early dominance allows the duo to transition into forcing mid-game teamfights. Undying excels at creating chaos; he can drop a Tombstone and charge in with Flesh Golem, forcing the enemy to focus him. This distraction is exactly what Crystal Maiden needs to find a safe spot to channel a full Freezing Field. Enemies are forced into a terrible choice: deal with the giant, damage-amplifying Undying and his zombie horde, or try to cancel the ultimate from a hero they can't easily reach. Either way, they're likely to lose the fight.
