How Night Stalker and Oracle perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Night Stalker and Oracle win 50.83% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 482 matches.
Using False Promise on a diving Night Stalker is the main reason this duo works. It gives him a safe window during Dark Ascension to stay on a target and apply Crippling Fear without being immediately punished. Oracle can also set up these ganks with the root from Fortune's End, holding a hero in place for Night Stalker to catch up. This lets Night Stalker be the aggressive front line he wants to be, knowing Oracle can save him from overextending. While Night Stalker brings the physical damage and control, Oracle provides the defensive backup and setup needed to make his nighttime hunts successful.
