How Earth Spirit and Lich perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Earth Spirit and Lich win 54.00% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 700 matches.
Landing a good Chain Frost often depends on the initial target being unable to run away. Earth Spirit provides that lockdown with Rolling Boulder, creating a reliable setup for Lich's ultimate. The stun gives the chain a much better chance to bounce to nearby enemies, especially in a chaotic fight. Beyond that specific combo, the two heroes work well together throughout the game. Frost Shield on an initiating Earth Spirit makes him significantly more durable as he dives into the enemy team. In return, the constant disruption from Boulder Smash and Geomagnetic Grip gives Lich the space he needs to cast his spells from a safe distance.
