How Earthshaker and Vengeful Spirit perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Earthshaker and Vengeful Spirit win 55.01% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 2,685 matches.
Setting up a big Echo Slam gets simpler when Vengeful Spirit can Nether Swap a key target directly into position. It reduces the burden on Earthshaker's blink initiation, and Vengeful Spirit's own stun can follow up to keep the hero locked down. The armor reduction from Wave of Terror also adds to the physical damage from Earthshaker's follow-up hits, which can make a difference when trying to finish off a durable core after the initial magical burst.
This pair's main strength is finding pickoffs once Vengeful Spirit has her ultimate. Enemies have to be careful about their positioning, as getting caught by her can lead to being instantly displaced into Earthshaker's full combo. The best response is to maintain good vision and avoid playing clumped together. Even if a swap doesn't result in a kill, it can isolate a support or force a core out of a fight. Earthshaker can also provide cover for Vengeful Spirit, using Fissure to block off anyone chasing her after she swaps.
