How Faceless Void and Skywrath Mage perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Faceless Void and Skywrath Mage win 50.00% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 18,111 matches.
Pairing these heroes often hinges on a perfect Chronosphere for Skywrath Mage to follow up. On paper, it's a huge lockdown filled with massive damage from Mystic Flare. The reality is more complicated. Skywrath needs to be close enough to cast his ultimate but can't be caught inside the Chronosphere himself, which requires precise timing and positioning from both players against a mobile enemy team. It's a high-reward setup that also has a notable chance of backfiring or being mistimed.
For much of the game, this combo can become the team's main plan, but the two heroes offer little to each other before their ultimates are ready. Once they are online, enemies know to expect it and will prioritize items like Black King Bar or Glimmer Cape to survive the initial burst. If Faceless Void and Skywrath can't secure a lead with their combo, they can struggle as enemy cores get tankier and the burst from Mystic Flare becomes less threatening on its own.
