Magnus + Mirana

Why this works

Getting hit by Reverse Polarity is bad enough, but having a Sacred Arrow land immediately after can feel inescapable. This long stun chain is the core idea behind pairing Magnus and Mirana. Magnus can also give Empower to a core Mirana to speed up her farm and give her cleave. The setup is very straightforward, but the value is debatable. Reverse Polarity is already a huge disable on its own, and the Arrow follow-up can be redundant if the team has enough damage to kill targets during the initial stun.

The success of this duo hinges on landing that one big combo in the mid-game. Mirana can use Moonlight Shadow to help Magnus find a good initiation, leading to a clean kill. Outside of that specific interaction, though, their kits don't always mesh. A poorly timed Skewer can pull an enemy out of an incoming Arrow, and in lane, their ability to set each other up is limited. It's a combination that looks good on paper but often proves clunky in practice, relying on perfect execution for a reward that other pairings can achieve more reliably.
