How Outworld Destroyer and Phoenix perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Outworld Destroyer and Phoenix win 53.41% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 3,196 matches.
Saving Phoenix’s Supernova with a well-timed Astral Imprisonment is the main trick this pair relies on. The invulnerability from Astral can guarantee the egg survives, securing the area-of-effect stun for the team. This gives Outworld Destroyer a perfect window to land Sanity's Eclipse on multiple disabled targets. Outside of this specific ultimate interaction, however, their kits don't have much natural overlap. Outworld Destroyer focuses on bursting single targets with pure damage and draining their mana, while Phoenix offers sustained area damage and teamfight control. Their timings and damage profiles are different enough that they often feel like they're executing separate plans.
A fight going well usually means that one big combo landed. Phoenix dives, baits the enemy team to focus the egg, and Outworld Destroyer uses Astral for the save. This is the dream scenario. But experienced opponents know this is coming. They will either try to burst the egg down before the save is possible, or they'll simply disengage and wait out the Supernova. Since the two heroes often farm on opposite sides of the map for the early and mid-game, finding the right moment to coordinate this play can be difficult, making their overall impact together feel inconsistent from one match to the next.
