How Ember Spirit and Zeus perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Ember Spirit and Zeus win 49.12% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,136 matches.
Scattered fights across the map tend to go your way. Ember Spirit is great at jumping on targets and dealing heavy initial damage, but enemies often escape with a sliver of health. This is where the pairing shines. Zeus can secure those kills from anywhere with Thundergod's Wrath, turning what would have been a failed gank into a win. This global reach makes Ember's aggression far more reliable. In a full five-on-five, their combined area damage is also a serious problem. Ember’s Flame Guard and Sleight of Fist, layered with all of Zeus's spells, will consistently wear down the entire enemy team.
