How Enigma and Skywrath Mage perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Enigma and Skywrath Mage win 50.47% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 3,951 matches.
Stacking Mystic Flare on top of a Black Hole seems like an obvious combination, but the interaction isn't as strong as it looks. Skywrath Mage's ultimate divides its damage among all heroes caught in its area of effect. When Enigma lands a huge Black Hole, it groups the enemy team up perfectly, but this causes the Flare's damage to be split many ways, significantly reducing the burst on any single target. While the lockdown is powerful, the expected team-wiping damage often fails to materialize against multiple heroes.
This pairing relies entirely on having two long-cooldown ultimates available for the same fight. If they aren't synced up, the synergy is completely lost. Their positioning can also be awkward; Enigma wants to blink in aggressively, while Skywrath needs to stay far back to cast safely. The combo is most effective against one or two priority targets where Mystic Flare's damage isn't diluted. Using both ultimates for a smaller pick-off can be game-winning, but it's an expensive trade that doesn't always pay off, making their overall performance together inconsistent.
