How Huskar and Necrophos perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Huskar and Necrophos win 45.34% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 5,803 matches.
Facing this pair can feel draining. Huskar dives a target with Life Break, but every time he gets low, a Death Pulse from Necrophos brings him back up. The constant healing allows Huskar to stay in that sweet spot where Berserker's Blood gives him massive attack speed and magic resistance without the immediate risk of dying. Necrophos’s job is to act as a battery, sustaining Huskar through his own aggression and turning him into a persistent, hard-to-kill frontline presence who chips away at the enemy team.
In practice, this synergy is easy to disrupt. Both Huskar and Necrophos lack escape, so a coordinated gank can often pick one of them off before their sustain game gets going. If opponents can burst Huskar with physical damage or chain-stun him, the healing from Necrophos won't be enough. Smart enemies will try to separate the two, either by kiting Huskar away from his support or by jumping on the slow, vulnerable Necrophos. Success depends heavily on the enemy having no answer to sustained single-target damage, otherwise the duo's weaknesses are quickly exposed.
