How Earth Spirit and Primal Beast perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Earth Spirit and Primal Beast win 46.92% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,967 matches.
Setting up a gank with two aggressive initiators seems simple, but Primal Beast and Earth Spirit can have clumsy moments. Primal Beast wants a clear path for Onslaught, but an ill-timed Boulder Smash can accidentally knock the target to safety, ruining the initiation. Their stuns can also overlap, wasting precious lockdown if they aren't sequenced correctly. The combo is much more reliable when one hero clearly sets up for the other. A well-placed Geomagnetic Grip silence from Earth Spirit, for example, can guarantee that Primal Beast gets a full Pulverize channel on a key enemy. This reliance on tight coordination is why their success isn't automatic.
