How Phoenix and Clockwerk perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Phoenix and Clockwerk win 50.59% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 2,117 matches.
Getting hooked by Clockwerk is always bad news, and Phoenix can make it worse. While a target is trapped in Power Cogs taking Battery Assault damage, Phoenix has a perfect window to land Fire Spirits and begin channeling a full-duration Sun Ray. The combination of control, damage, and a heavy attack speed slow can completely overwhelm a single hero who gets caught out of position. It's a straightforward ganking setup that punishes mistakes hard.
This partnership lives or dies on finding those pickoffs. The whole play is very telegraphed and relies on Clockwerk landing that initial Hookshot. If the enemy team is grouped or can quickly save the caught hero, the gank fizzles out. There's also some genuine anti-synergy in teamfights. Power Cogs can easily knock key enemies out of the radius of Phoenix's Supernova, turning a fight-winning ultimate into a dud. For every clean kill they set up, there's a clumsy fight where their abilities get in each other's way.
