How Earth Spirit and Phoenix perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Earth Spirit and Phoenix win 50.42% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 3,614 matches.
Setting up for a clean Supernova often requires some initial lockdown. Earth Spirit can provide this by rolling in to stun a priority hero or using Geomagnetic Grip to silence a key area, giving Phoenix a safer window to transform. While Supernova is active, Earth Spirit is great at disruption; he can use Boulder Smash to kick enemies away from the sun or prevent them from escaping the eventual stun. The combo relies on good timing, though. If Earth Spirit initiates too early or Phoenix misjudges the fight, it can fizzle out. This dependency on coordination is what keeps the pairing effective but not overwhelming.
