How Magnus and Spectre perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Magnus and Spectre win 49.40% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,745 matches.
Giving Spectre an early Empower really changes her game. It helps her secure last hits and clear waves much faster than she normally could, accelerating her farm toward core items. Later, when Spectre uses Haunt, every one of her illusions also gets the cleave from Empower. This turns her global presence into a massive source of area damage, especially against teams that are grouped together. Magnus provides the exact tools Spectre needs to overcome her slow start and scale into the late game.
The plan is simple. Magnus focuses on farming his Blink Dagger while keeping Empower on Spectre whenever possible. Once he has it, the threat of Reverse Polarity forces the enemy to play carefully and spread out. A good multi-hero RP is the perfect setup for Spectre to Haunt in and clean up the fight. The enemy team has to try and split the map to avoid these big engagements or focus on killing Magnus before he can initiate. If they can't manage that, Spectre's empowered illusions will often wear them down.
