How Nyx Assassin and Venomancer perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Nyx Assassin and Venomancer win 52.39% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 502 matches.
Setting up kills with this pair can feel a bit disjointed. Nyx Assassin excels at finding a target with Vendetta and bursting them down instantly. Venomancer, on the other hand, deals his damage slowly over time across multiple enemies, and his Poison Nova can’t even secure the last hit. This means Nyx’s upfront damage doesn't get much of a boost. Still, Venomancer’s constant slows from abilities like Venomous Gale make it very easy for Nyx to connect with Impale and stick to his victim. They end up covering different bases for a team without directly amplifying each other's game plan, making for a pretty standard lane or roaming partner.
