How Ember Spirit and Vengeful Spirit perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Ember Spirit and Vengeful Spirit win 50.70% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,221 matches.
Playing against this duo can feel claustrophobic. Vengeful Spirit provides the simple, reliable lockdown from Magic Missile that Ember Spirit needs to land Searing Chains and his full damage combo. This makes their ganks surprisingly effective from early on. As the game progresses, Vengeance Aura gives a solid boost to Ember's physical damage, making his Sleight of Fist more threatening. A good Nether Swap can also save an overextended Ember Spirit or pull a key enemy into his reach. Vengeful Spirit consistently enables Ember to be more aggressive and convert his mobility into kills, which often tips the scales in their favor.
