Why this works
Pushing down a tower in the mid-game is where this pair comes together. Lycan naturally pressures buildings hard with his summons, forcing the enemy team to respond. This gives Gyrocopter a perfect setup to use Call Down to zone defenders or punish anyone who overextends. Once the fight starts, Lycan's team-wide damage aura from Feral Impulse is a nice bonus for Flak Cannon, helping Gyrocopter wear down multiple heroes at once. The main problem is that both heroes are greedy and want to hit their timings. If the early game goes poorly, you can end up with two underfarmed cores trying to execute the same aggressive plan, which often falls flat.
