How Mirana and Sand King perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Mirana and Sand King win 47.36% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 4,825 matches.
Setting up a gank with this pair feels straightforward. Sand King provides the instant lockdown with Burrowstrike, which gives Mirana all the time she needs to land a long-distance Sacred Arrow. This sequence offers a huge amount of control and burst damage onto a single hero, making it effective for securing pickoffs around the map from the early game onwards. The simplicity and power of this stun-into-stun combo is the main reason you'd ever want to pair these heroes together. It's a reliable way to start a fight with an advantage.
The problem is that their coordination often ends there. Once the initial combo is spent, Sand King and Mirana operate on different planes. Sand King wants to cause chaos in the middle of the fight with Sand Storm and a channeled Epicenter. Mirana, on the other hand, usually prefers to stay on the edges, using her mobility and Starstorm from a safer distance. If the initial Arrow doesn't secure a kill, their kits don't have much follow-up synergy, leaving them to fight their own separate battles.
