How Enigma and Phantom Assassin perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Enigma and Phantom Assassin win 51.89% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 7,086 matches.
Drafting these two together is a bet on winning a decisive teamfight. A good Black Hole from Enigma creates the perfect window for Phantom Assassin, pulling key targets into a tight clump where they can't use items or spells. This allows her to safely Phantom Strike onto a priority hero and often delete them with a few critical hits before the disable even ends. The goal is to turn a five-on-five into a five-on-four before the enemy has a chance to react, creating a clear advantage for the rest of the engagement.
The success of this pairing, however, is almost entirely dependent on Enigma's ultimate. If opponents play spread out to minimize Black Hole's impact, or if they have reliable stuns to interrupt the channel, the plan falls apart. Without that big setup, Phantom Assassin may not find a safe entry point and is forced to play on the edges of the fight. The heroes don't offer much for each other outside of that specific teamfight scenario, making their overall effectiveness together highly situational and dependent on execution.
