How Pugna and Undying perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Pugna and Undying win 53.12% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 5,164 matches.
Drafting these two together aims to create an unwinnable fight around Undying's Tombstone. The zombies slow enemies down, making it much easier for Pugna to land a full Life Drain channel without being kited. Pugna can also use Decrepify defensively on an ally Undying is trying to save, blocking physical damage while Soul Rip provides a burst of healing. In return, Undying's Decay spam and Flesh Golem create the kind of messy, extended teamfight where Pugna's abilities get maximum value.
The success of this pairing, however, depends entirely on the enemy team's composition. Both Pugna and Undying lack hard lockdown to force engagements. If the opposing draft has high mobility, they can often disengage from the Tombstone and reset the fight. Likewise, lineups with heavy long-range burst can destroy the tomb from a safe distance or simply kill Pugna before he can get his spells off. The combo works, but it's easily avoided.
