How Ember Spirit and Legion Commander perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Ember Spirit and Legion Commander win 55.51% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,225 matches.
Believing you can save a teammate from Duel often leads to disappointment here. Ember Spirit can add a lot of damage into a Duel from complete safety, using Sleight of Fist to hit the target without getting involved himself. If he's close enough, Flame Guard's burn also contributes. This reliable burst is often exactly what Legion Commander needs to secure the kill and gain her bonus damage, especially in the early and mid-game before she has major items. It turns what could be a risky one-on-one into a much safer execution.
As the game progresses, this pattern becomes a primary pickoff tool. Legion Commander finds an isolated target, and Ember can instantly join the fight with a Fire Remnant from across the map. He provides control with Searing Chains and the necessary finishing damage to ensure the Duel is won quickly. This forces opponents to play defensively and stay grouped up. The problem for them is that grouping makes them vulnerable to Ember's area damage and a big Overwhelming Odds from Legion, creating a constant pressure that is difficult to play against.
