How Puck and Undying perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Puck and Undying win 48.95% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 9,012 matches.
Catching enemies in a Dream Coil on top of a Tombstone seems like a perfect setup, but the two heroes often want different things from a fight. Puck is all about quick magical burst to eliminate a key target before repositioning safely. The goal is a fast kill to create an advantage. Undying, on the other hand, wants the fight to drag on. His Tombstone gains value the longer it stays up, with zombies wearing down the entire enemy team. This fundamental difference in tempo means their big spells don't always create the clean initiation they appear to promise.
When this pairing is effective, it’s because they can force enemies to choose between taking the coil's stun or getting swarmed. More often, though, opponents can split their focus. They can break the coil leash quickly or have enough mobility to escape the area, leaving the Tombstone vulnerable. Since neither Puck nor Undying provides a reliable hard stun outside of the coil's break, enemies with saves or high mobility can often survive the initial setup. The result is a combination that looks strong on paper but lacks the lockdown to guarantee kills against a coordinated team.
