How Phoenix and Wraith King perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Phoenix and Wraith King win 58.16% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 846 matches.
Taking over the enemy's side of the map and securing Roshan becomes much simpler with this combination. Foes have to contend with two massive, fight-turning ultimates that both provide a second life. A team that commits resources to focus down Wraith King will find themselves in a terrible spot when he triggers Reincarnation. That chaos is all Phoenix needs to land a perfect Supernova. The enemy is then forced to either try and kill the egg while a revived King hits them, or flee from the impending stun and let both heroes reset and take control.
This dynamic forces opponents to fight on your terms. A standard engagement has Wraith King walk in first to draw out key spells. Once Reincarnation slows everyone, Phoenix has a safe window to use Supernova. The enemy is then caught between a ticking time bomb and a revived carry. Their only counterplay is having enough burst to kill Wraith King twice *and* destroy the Sun, which is incredibly difficult to coordinate. This constant threat makes it much easier to secure objectives, as the other team is often too scared to contest.
