How Nyx Assassin and Terrorblade perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Nyx Assassin and Terrorblade win 54.37% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 263 matches.
Creating safe farm for Terrorblade often defines how the early game will go. A successful Nyx Assassin can accomplish this by forcing opponents to play defensively, constantly threatening ganks out of Vendetta. This pressure can open up the map, allowing Terrorblade to hit his timings. In fights, Impale provides reliable lockdown for Terrorblade to start hitting a target with Metamorphosis active. The primary source of friction is their different tempos. Nyx wants to fight early and often, while Terrorblade needs time to scale. This can lead to moments where the team is split on whether to fight or farm, making the pair's success feel inconsistent.
