How Omniknight and Tusk perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Omniknight and Tusk win 48.17% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,476 matches.
Coordinating a fight can feel disjointed with this pair. Tusk wants to initiate aggressively, often diving deep with Snowball to lock down a key target. Omniknight, however, excels at counter-initiation and saving allies who are being focused. This forces a tough choice: use powerful defensive spells like Heavenly Grace or Guardian Angel on the diving Tusk, or hold them for a core who gets jumped in the backline. It's also tricky to get the damage from Purification to land effectively amidst Tusk's chaotic initiations. While Omniknight can certainly make Tusk harder to kill, their fundamentally different approaches to a fight mean they rarely operate as a cohesive unit.
