How Earth Spirit and Wraith King perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Earth Spirit and Wraith King win 55.71% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 840 matches.
Picking these two heroes together is a plan for creating reliable, single-target lockdowns. Earth Spirit's ability to initiate from long range with Rolling Boulder sets up a clean stun for Wraith King to follow up with his own. Even better, Earth Spirit can use Boulder Smash to kick an enemy out of position and directly into Wraith King's path. This combination of forced movement and chained stuns gives the carry a completely stationary target to attack. Later on, Earth Spirit can even use his abilities to pull Wraith King to safety, which is a huge help when Reincarnation is on cooldown.
This pressure starts in the laning stage and never really lets up. Any rotation from Earth Spirit creates a lethal gank threat that the enemy has to constantly respect with their positioning and vision. In mid-game teamfights, Wraith King can confidently walk at the enemy team, knowing he has Earth Spirit to control key targets or bail him out after his first life. Opponents are forced into a difficult choice: commit everything to killing Wraith King twice, or try to chase the highly mobile Earth Spirit who is setting up the whole play.
