How Crystal Maiden and Winter Wyvern perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Crystal Maiden and Winter Wyvern win 51.06% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 3,680 matches.
Setting up for a Freezing Field is often the main idea behind this pairing. Winter Wyvern can lock down multiple enemies with Winter's Curse, giving Crystal Maiden the space and time she needs to channel her ultimate without immediate interruption. In a pinch, Cold Embrace can also save a low-health Maiden from physical attackers, potentially buying enough time for her spells to come off cooldown or for help to arrive. When the fight is clustered and predictable, this combination provides a strong area-denial ultimate that can control a key objective.
The challenge is getting to that point. Both supports are slow and vulnerable, especially during the laning stage. A Crystal Maiden and Winter Wyvern lane lacks reliable stuns and can be run over by more aggressive duos. They both depend heavily on positioning to be effective, and if they get caught out before they can execute their combo, they contribute very little to a fight. Their success often depends on the rest of the draft providing a stable frontline and a strong enough start for them to reach their powerful teamfight timings.
