How Earth Spirit and Night Stalker perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Earth Spirit and Night Stalker win 51.42% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 5,202 matches.
Getting jumped at night by this pair can be a real headache for fragile heroes. Night Stalker naturally wants to be aggressive once the sun sets, and Earth Spirit provides excellent tools to make that happen. A long-range stun from Rolling Boulder can initiate a gank, giving Night Stalker the time he needs to get on top of a target and apply Crippling Fear. Earth Spirit can then follow up with a silence or a slow to keep them locked down. This chain of control makes it much easier for Night Stalker to secure kills during his peak timings, which can help the whole team build an early advantage.
