How Enigma and Night Stalker perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Enigma and Night Stalker win 51.30% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 2,119 matches.
Creating space at night with an active Night Stalker can give Enigma the breathing room he needs to farm up a Blink Dagger. While the enemy team is reacting to ganks or afraid to split up, Enigma is free to clear jungle camps and prepare for the mid-game. The threat of Night Stalker can force opponents to group up, which potentially creates better Black Hole opportunities. Crippling Fear also provides a wide silence to protect Enigma's channeling. The main issue is tempo. Night Stalker wants to fight early and often, while Enigma might not be ready for those fights. If Enigma can't keep pace, the duo feels disconnected and their timings never quite align.
