Invoker + Mirana

Why this works

Setting up a gank with this pair relies on a classic combo. Invoker can cast Tornado to lift a target, holding them in place for a predictable amount of time. This gives Mirana a much easier window to land a long-range Sacred Arrow for its full stun and damage. If the Invoker is quick, a well-timed Sun Strike can be layered on top for a huge burst of global damage that can finish off almost any hero early on. The whole sequence demands good timing and communication between the two players to work correctly.

When this setup connects, it can feel powerful, creating kills out of nowhere and building an early lead. However, the combo's reliability falls off as opponents get defensive items or simply learn to position better against the obvious Tornado setup. In larger teamfights, it can be difficult to coordinate this specific sequence compared to more straightforward disables. Ultimately, Invoker and Mirana's game plans don't always align perfectly beyond this one play. The success of the duo often comes down to whether they can execute this combo a few times before the enemy team has the tools to deal with it.
