How Dazzle and Phoenix perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Dazzle and Phoenix win 61.08% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 352 matches.
Trying to burst Phoenix's Supernova feels like the right play, but it often backfires when Dazzle is on the field. The enemy team commits to hitting the egg, but they can't get there easily. Dazzle’s Poison Touch slows everyone down, and his Shadow Wave keeps the heroes fighting around the egg topped up. This extra control and sustain is often enough to guarantee the stun goes off. Even before a big fight, Dazzle's healing helps Phoenix use his own spells more freely. A well-timed Shallow Grave can also be the difference between Phoenix dying early or getting a fight-winning Supernova cast.
