How Dark Seer and Nyx Assassin perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Dark Seer and Nyx Assassin win 53.19% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 2,489 matches.
Facing this combination in the mid-game is often awkward. Nyx Assassin can initiate from Vendetta, and a good Dark Seer will have Ion Shell on him before he even shows up. This means the target is stunned and taking damage before they can react. Dark Seer can follow up with Vacuum to pull other heroes into the fight or use Surge on Nyx for an escape. The synergy is there, but it can be inconsistent. Both heroes need specific items to be effective, and if their timings don't line up, their ganks can fizzle out, leaving one or both of them exposed and easy to kill.
