How Earth Spirit and Vengeful Spirit perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Earth Spirit and Vengeful Spirit win 51.12% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 978 matches.
Facing this pair during early ganks is a nightmare. Vengeful Spirit can land a stun, which provides a simple setup for Earth Spirit to land Rolling Boulder and a follow-up silence. The armor reduction from Wave of Terror also means all the physical damage from both heroes adds up surprisingly quickly. If you survive the initial burst and try to run, Earth Spirit can kick you back towards his team with Boulder Smash. They chain their control together from long range, making it hard for any enemy core to feel safe farming a lane alone. Nether Swap gives the duo even more flexibility to either start a fight or save a committed Earth Spirit.
