How Hoodwink and Wraith King perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Hoodwink and Wraith King win 54.43% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,760 matches.
Taking control of the map becomes much easier with this pairing. Wraith King can farm aggressively knowing he has reliable backup, which lets the whole team play on the enemy's side of the river. The core of their strength is the simple stun chain. Wraith King leads with a Wraithfire Blast, giving Hoodwink a free, guaranteed setup for her Bushwhack. That long disable duration means Wraith King gets several free hits with his critical strikes, often securing a kill before the target can even react. This ganking combo comes online early and stays relevant for the entire game.
From the mid-game onward, they create a serious problem. Wraith King can confidently frontline, forcing enemies to commit spells on him, only for him to return with Reincarnation. During this chaos, Hoodwink stays safe in the backline or in the trees, providing follow-up control and finishing off low-health targets with Sharpshooter. To counter this, opponents are forced to split their focus. They either need to dive the backline to deal with Hoodwink, leaving the King to freely hit their team, or they must dump all their resources on Wraith King twice, which is a huge drain.
