How Grimstroke and Warlock perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Grimstroke and Warlock win 50.16% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 2,781 matches.
Facing a Soulbind can create a moment of panic, as it sets up a clear target for Warlock's spells. A well-timed Chaotic Offering on two linked heroes is a powerful fight-winning tool, and Fatal Bonds can spread even more damage. The potential for this combination is certainly there. In practice, however, coordinating two long-cooldown ultimates can be difficult, and enemies can often react with saves or spell immunity before the full combo lands. Outside of this one specific ultimate interaction, Grimstroke and Warlock don't provide much for each other, leaving their overall impact together feeling situational rather than consistently strong.
