How Enigma and Pugna perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Enigma and Pugna win 51.32% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,518 matches.
Picking these two heroes feels like doubling down on a single, all-in teamfight plan. On paper, Pugna’s Nether Ward can punish anyone trying to cancel Black Hole, and Decrepify can amplify Midnight Pulse damage. The reality is often less clean. Enemies can counter both Enigma and Pugna with the same defensive items. This forces a very specific game plan that can fall apart if the enemy gets an early Pipe of Insight or multiple Black King Bars. Both heroes also want to channel their ultimates from a safe position, which can lead to awkward fights where Pugna isn't close enough to protect Enigma or is busy channeling Life Drain on a different target. The combo requires a lot of coordination to succeed.
