How Earthshaker and Wraith King perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Earthshaker and Wraith King win 55.55% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,928 matches.
Controlling the map feels straightforward with this lineup. Earthshaker provides the long-range initiation with Fissure that a slower hero like Wraith King needs to connect. This creates a simple, effective gank where Wraith King can walk up, add his own stun, and finish the job. In larger teamfights, Wraith King naturally draws enemies and summons towards him. This clumping, especially with his own skeletons, provides the perfect setup for a massive Echo Slam, while Reincarnation lets him do it without fear.
The game plan is to turn these successful pickoffs into objectives. A kill becomes a tower, as Wraith King's summons are great for pushing. This puts the enemy in a bind: grouping up risks the Echo Slam, but staying split makes them easy Fissure targets. Their main option is to try and sever the connection by jumping on Earthshaker before he can act, or to have enough saves to survive the initial lockdown and fight back while Reincarnation is on cooldown.
