How Lich and Wraith King perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41f, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41f, Lich and Wraith King win 58.40% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 61,430 matches.
Picking these two heroes together creates a simple and powerful game plan. Lich's Frost Shield is ideal for a durable frontliner, and Wraith King is the ultimate candidate for it. He can walk at towers and heroes, absorbing damage and slowing anyone nearby, which sets him up to land his own stun. Enemies have to invest a lot to bring him down the first time, and the shield makes that first life incredibly tough to take. It gives Wraith King the confidence to be a constant, aggressive threat.
This advantage starts in the lane and defines mid-game teamfights. With Frost Shield, Wraith King can trade heavily and secure his farm. Later, the opposing team faces a difficult choice: commit everything to kill the shielded king before his Reincarnation, or try a risky dive past him to get to Lich. While they are occupied, Lich can safely cast his spells from the backline, often finding the perfect moment for Chain Frost as enemies clump on his resilient carry.
