How Ember Spirit and Spectre perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Ember Spirit and Spectre win 55.96% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,242 matches.
Picking off a lone hero becomes a routine play for this duo. Spectre can start a gank anywhere on the map with Haunt, and Ember Spirit can place a Fire Remnant to join her almost instantly. The target gets slowed by Spectral Dagger, setting them up for Ember's Searing Chains and a full burst of magical damage. This combination is often enough to secure a kill before the enemy can even react. Having this global threat allows your team to suffocate the map, denying farm and creating safe space for Spectre to scale. It turns what would normally be a passive farming game into a series of proactive, successful ganks.
