How Phantom Assassin and Wraith King perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Phantom Assassin and Wraith King win 53.08% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 2,176 matches.
Locking down a target with Wraithfire Blast gives Phantom Assassin the perfect window to jump in and land her crits. The stun is long enough for her to connect with Phantom Strike and often delete a support before they can react. Since Wraith King is a major threat himself, enemies are forced to split their attention. His Reincarnation ultimate then fundamentally changes fights by demanding the enemy team's focus and cooldowns to kill him twice, creating a massive opening for PA to do her work.
This duo's game plan is simple and effective. Wraith King acts as the unkillable frontline, walking at the enemy team and absorbing punishment. Phantom Assassin can then wait for the chaos that his death and respawn creates. Once key disables are used on the King, she has a much safer opening to blink onto fragile backline heroes. This creates a dilemma for the other team: deal with the massive raid boss hitting their tower, or try to peel for their supports against an elusive assassin.
