How Nyx Assassin and Undying perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Nyx Assassin and Undying win 54.12% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 7,611 matches.
Trying to focus one hero down when they are together is often a mistake. Undying's Tombstone creates so much chaos and slows that it gives Nyx Assassin a perfect opening to connect a full Vendetta combo on a high-value target. A well-placed Impale can also guarantee that an enemy gets hit by Decay or swarmed by zombies. The synergy works defensively, too. If an enemy tries to jump on Undying, a quick Spiked Carapace from Nyx can turn the initiation completely around, giving Undying the space he needs to heal with Soul Rip and continue causing havoc.
This combo makes for an oppressive laning stage, constantly threatening kills with their combined lockdown and damage. As the game goes on, their teamfight presence becomes overwhelming. Nyx Assassin can scout ahead and find pickoffs, while Undying can drop Tombstone to control a huge area and make retreating impossible. The enemy is forced into a difficult choice: try to burn down the Tombstone while Nyx picks them apart, or ignore it and get run down by zombies and slows. Their only real hope is to get vision and burst one down before the other can react.
