How Dark Seer and Keeper of the Light perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Dark Seer and Keeper of the Light win 48.58% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 2,635 matches.
Combining Vacuum with a full-power Illuminate is the dream scenario, but it’s tough to pull off in a real game. The long channel time on Keeper of the Light's blast often means enemies have already scattered before Dark Seer can pull them in, or the Vacuum happens too early. Outside of this one combo, their plans can conflict. Dark Seer wants to put Ion Shell on a hero diving into the fight, while Keeper of the Light prefers to stay far back and channel spells from a safe distance. While Chakra Magic helps with Dark Seer's mana, they can end up playing separate games on the same map rather than enabling each other.
