How Pugna and Snapfire perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Pugna and Snapfire win 49.92% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 5,631 matches.
Setting up a kill with this pair revolves around combining their magical damage. Pugna can cast Decrepify on an enemy, making them take more damage from Snapfire's Mortimer Kisses. While Firesnap Cookie can provide a brief stun to start this combo, it's often not long enough to hold someone in place for the full volley. As a result, they frequently need a third hero with a more reliable stun to truly lock a target down and guarantee the kill. This makes their core interaction powerful in theory but conditional in practice.
The duo works best when defending high ground or sieging an objective. Snapfire can set up her ultimate from a safe distance, and Pugna can apply his spells as needed. Their biggest weakness is a coordinated dive from the enemy team. Pugna is fragile, and Snapfire is completely stationary while firing her ultimate. If opponents can close the distance with strong initiation, they can often kill one or both heroes before the full damage combo lands, completely breaking the setup. This makes their success depend heavily on team positioning and the enemy's ability to get on top of them.
