How Earthshaker and Huskar perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Earthshaker and Huskar win 47.37% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 6,189 matches.
A long Fissure can set up a clean Life Break, and Earthshaker provides lockdown that Huskar needs to stick on a target. The problem is that their kits can work against each other in the chaos of a fight. Huskar wants to be right on top of a single enemy, but Fissure can easily block his path or even save the person he’s trying to kill. Earthshaker is also looking for a big, multi-hero Echo Slam, while Huskar is often diving a solo target in the back. This can leave them focused on different parts of the same fight, reducing their overall impact.
The strategy usually involves Huskar forcing early fights with his aggression, creating openings for Earthshaker to land his stuns. When it works, you can roll over the enemy team. But a coordinated opponent can often separate them. They’ll kite the Huskar, forcing him back, while staying spread out to avoid giving up a good Echo Slam. Since Earthshaker doesn't offer a defensive save, he can't do much to help a low-health Huskar who gets turned on. The success of the pair depends entirely on the enemy team grouping up in a way that helps both of them.
