How Ember Spirit and Enigma perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Ember Spirit and Enigma win 51.25% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 2,995 matches.
Pairing Ember Spirit’s area damage with a big Black Hole seems like a clear winning combination, but the heroes often operate on different timetables. Enigma typically needs a quiet laning stage and time to farm core items like a Blink Dagger before he can reliably initiate. Ember Spirit, on the other hand, wants to be active much earlier, constantly moving around the map to apply pressure and find kills with his remnants. By the time Enigma is truly ready to fight, the game's flow might not suit Ember. Furthermore, both heroes rely heavily on magical damage, which allows opponents to counter both of them by building a single Pipe of Insight or multiple Glimmer Capes.
