How Earth Spirit and Ember Spirit perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Earth Spirit and Ember Spirit win 46.94% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 3,666 matches.
Setting up a kill for Ember Spirit can feel a bit awkward with Earth Spirit. A poorly timed Boulder Smash can easily knock a target out of Searing Chains range, disrupting the gank. Beyond that, both heroes want to accomplish the same thing: create tempo with heavy magic damage in the early and mid-game. This makes it straightforward for opponents to build against the duo, as a single Pipe of Insight or other magic resistance item diminishes the threat from both of them at once. While the lockdown can sometimes line up, their overlapping damage profiles and similar timings mean they don't cover each other's weaknesses very well, especially if the game goes late.
