How Earth Spirit and Grimstroke perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Earth Spirit and Grimstroke win 48.74% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 593 matches.
Securing early map control and objectives feels much smoother with these two heroes on the same team. The duo is excellent at getting pickoffs, which translates into taking towers or Roshan ahead of the enemy's timing. The core of this synergy is Grimstroke's Soulbind. When two enemies are leashed, Earth Spirit's single-target spells hit both of them. A Boulder Smash can now stun two heroes from great range, and a Rolling Boulder can lock down a pair of targets. This ability to double the impact of Earth Spirit's control makes it incredibly difficult for opponents to position safely, often leading to a steady stream of kills and pressure.
