How Grimstroke and Lina perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Grimstroke and Lina win 52.97% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,701 matches.
Setting up a kill for Lina can feel a bit hit-or-miss with a Grimstroke on the team. The dream scenario is landing Soulbind on two key targets for a double Laguna Blade, which can instantly win a teamfight. Beyond that specific ultimate combo, however, their abilities don't have a special connection. Lina's Light Strike Array is an area stun that already wants enemies to be grouped up, so Grimstroke's ultimate doesn't help her land it any better than usual. While Ink Swell provides a reliable stun to set up for Lina, it's a type of generic setup that many supports can offer, making the pairing functional but not exceptional.
