How Nyx Assassin and Sven perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Nyx Assassin and Sven win 57.42% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 761 matches.
Setting up a kill with Vendetta and Impale gives Sven a guaranteed target for his Storm Hammer. This simple stun chain is the core of their partnership, letting them secure pickoffs that a hero like Sven wouldn't normally get on his own. Nyx Assassin can scout ahead, find a vulnerable enemy, and hold them in place for Sven to arrive and deliver the damage, helping him build an early lead. Later on, Nyx continues to provide control in teamfights, stunning anyone trying to kite Sven or using Spiked Carapace to punish enemies who try to focus him down. This disruption buys Sven the time he needs.
