How Night Stalker and Winter Wyvern perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41f, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41f, Night Stalker and Winter Wyvern win 53.92% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 23,440 matches.
Controlling the map after the first night cycle becomes much easier with this pair. Night Stalker's aggressive hunting is massively enabled by Winter Wyvern’s toolkit. A long-range slow from Arctic Burn can initiate a gank, guaranteeing Night Stalker can get on top of a target. For securing the kill, Winter's Curse provides exceptional lockdown, holding an enemy in place for Night Stalker to unleash his full damage. Most importantly, Cold Embrace allows him to dive recklessly for a key target and survive the physical retaliation. This turns Night Stalker’s aggression into consistent pressure that secures objectives and space for the whole team.
