How Grimstroke and Wraith King perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Grimstroke and Wraith King win 56.75% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,200 matches.
Drafting this pair provides a straightforward and powerful lockdown combination. When Grimstroke lands Soulbind, any single-target spell hits both tethered heroes. This allows Wraith King to turn his Wraithfire Blast into a double stun, and Phantom's Embrace into a double silence. With two enemies locked down and unable to cast spells, they become easy targets for Wraith King and his summoned skeletons to finish off, with little room for counterplay once the initial ultimate connects.
The threat of this combo forces enemies to play separated, making them vulnerable to ganks and breaking up their teamfight formations. Wraith King is naturally durable thanks to Reincarnation, allowing him to walk into fights and guarantee the follow-up stun after Grimstroke sets it up. This leaves the enemy team with a difficult choice: try to burn through Wraith King's two lives while Grimstroke casts freely, or attempt to dive the backline through a massive frontline threat.
