How Night Stalker and Terrorblade perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Night Stalker and Terrorblade win 52.62% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 344 matches.
Picking these two cores together is a bet that one can create enough space for the other to come online. Night Stalker excels at being aggressive from the first night, running at enemies and forcing rotations. This can pull attention away from Terrorblade, giving him the quiet lanes he needs to farm up his core items and hit his Metamorphosis timing. The vision reduction from Hunter in the Night also makes it harder for enemies to find and punish him. The issue is they don't offer much direct synergy in a fight. Terrorblade provides damage but little setup, while Night Stalker's job is mostly disruption. It's a relationship of distraction, not combination.
