How Puck and Vengeful Spirit perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Puck and Vengeful Spirit win 48.27% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 663 matches.
Controlling the map with this pair often feels like a balancing act. Vengeful Spirit provides a powerful safety net for an aggressive Puck. A risky Illusory Orb into a bad spot can be instantly undone by a Nether Swap, saving a core hero at the cost of a support's life. This keeps Puck farming and applying pressure instead of waiting to respawn. While this trade prevents a disaster, it frequently resets a fight rather than winning it. Outside of that defensive play, their kits don't offer a uniquely powerful offensive link. Venge's stun sets up Puck's combo, but it's a standard interaction that many supports can provide.
