How Medusa and Night Stalker perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Medusa and Night Stalker win 49.36% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 312 matches.
Controlling the map's tempo for a farming core becomes much easier with this pairing. Night Stalker’s aggression forces opponents to play defensively and abandon parts of the map, especially at night. This gives Medusa the breathing room she needs to secure her items and hit her timings safely. Using his ultimate creates this pressure on-demand, protecting a key objective push. In fights, Night Stalker provides the lockdown Medusa lacks. His silence from Crippling Fear can hold a target still for Split Shot, and more importantly, it prevents enemies from using spells or items to escape the petrify from Stone Gaze.
