How Invoker and Vengeful Spirit perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Invoker and Vengeful Spirit win 53.47% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 3,589 matches.
Reliable setup from Vengeful Spirit is exactly what an Invoker needs to thrive. Her stun into Wave of Terror's armor reduction makes it simple to land a devastating Sun Strike or empower a Forge Spirit build. If the Invoker gets caught out, a quick Nether Swap can bail him out of a bad position. This combination of offensive setup and defensive saves allows him to play much more aggressively and take risks he otherwise couldn't.
This duo often dictates the game's tempo from the early stages. Successful ganks snowball into tower pressure and uncontested farm, accelerating Invoker's key item timings. The other team is forced into a defensive posture, needing to group up to survive the threat of a Swap into a full combo like Tornado and Meteor. Their best bet is to try and burst Vengeful Spirit down first, or to find a fight when Invoker's primary spells are on cooldown.
