How Riki and Wraith King perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Riki and Wraith King win 57.22% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 984 matches.
Seizing map control and dictating pace is what this duo does best. Wraith King can farm aggressively deep in enemy territory, creating pressure and daring the other team to respond. Any attempt to gank him is incredibly risky, as Riki is often lurking nearby, ready to turn the fight with a well-placed Smoke Screen. This forces opponents to move as a group, conceding large areas of the map and falling behind on farm as they react to the constant threat.
The core of the synergy is how Riki exploits the chaos Wraith King creates. A team committing spells to bring down the durable king is a perfect target. Once Wraith King falls and begins his Reincarnation, opponents have often spent their key abilities. This is Riki's cue to clean up, using Blink Strike on fleeing supports or hitting the clustered, preoccupied team. The combination of a resilient, resurrecting frontliner and an invisible burst assassin presents a problem that is very difficult to solve.
