How Clockwerk and Vengeful Spirit perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Clockwerk and Vengeful Spirit win 51.16% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 606 matches.
Controlling the game's pace with constant pickoffs is the main goal here. Clockwerk excels at starting fights on isolated targets with Hookshot, but confirming the kill and surviving can be a problem. Vengeful Spirit provides the perfect follow-up: Wave of Terror reduces armor for Clockwerk’s battery of attacks, and Magic Missile adds lockdown on the trapped hero. The most important piece, however, is Nether Swap. This gives Clockwerk a reliable escape plan, letting him make aggressive initiations without the usual risk of being stranded and focused down. It covers one of his biggest weaknesses and makes the pair's ganking attempts much more consistent.
