How Enigma and Spirit Breaker perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Enigma and Spirit Breaker win 55.31% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 5,382 matches.
Setting up a long-range gank gives Enigma a clear signal. Spirit Breaker's Charge of Darkness provides a stun that creates an opening for Enigma to follow up with Black Hole on a locked-down target. While the ultimate channels, Spirit Breaker can continue to cause problems, using his own stuns and damage to keep other enemies from interrupting. The plan is straightforward: a global initiation that leads directly into one of the game's most powerful teamfight spells.
Executing this is often harder than it sounds. Experienced opponents will see the charge icon and immediately spread out, denying Enigma a multi-hero Black Hole. As the game goes on, Enigma will almost always get a Blink Dagger to find his own setups, making Spirit Breaker's initiation less critical. Success relies heavily on catching the enemy team out of position and lacking the specific tools to counter the telegraphed assault, which isn't always the case.
