How Grimstroke and Oracle perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41f, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41f, Grimstroke and Oracle win 49.24% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 5,518 matches.
Thinking you can double up Oracle's burst with Soulbind is a common trap. The execution is often clumsy because Purifying Flames also applies a strong heal that Oracle must remove with Fortune's End to get the kill. Soulbind frequently pulls the two targets apart, making it impossible to purge both with a single cast. This means one of the enemies gets a powerful free heal, undermining the whole combo. Outside of this specific interaction, Grimstroke provides useful slows and stuns to set up for Oracle's spells, and False Promise is always a reliable save. These general strengths tend to balance out the awkwardness of their big ultimate play, leaving the pair without a strong natural advantage.
How this pairing performs across skill brackets — the duo's team win rate in recent ranked matches, split by average match rank. Ranks with too few recent matches are omitted. These rows use the last 30 days of quality-filtered ranked matches, all patches in that span combined — a wider window than the patch-scoped count above, so the per-rank match totals can exceed it.
