How Sand King and Wraith King perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Sand King and Wraith King win 53.67% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 531 matches.
Setting up a full Epicenter becomes much easier with a Wraith King on your team. Sand King can initiate with Burrowstrike, and Wraith King follows up with his point-and-click Wraithfire Blast to extend the lockdown. This simple stun combination is more than enough time for Sand King to channel his ultimate without being interrupted, guaranteeing massive damage on a key target. This turns what can be a risky combo into a reliable kill threat as soon as both heroes have their ultimates.
This ganking power lets the pair dictate the pace of the mid-game, picking off isolated heroes and creating advantages to take towers. In teamfights, enemies face a difficult choice. Committing resources to stop Sand King’s initiation leaves a farmed Wraith King free to hit everyone. But focusing the Wraith King first is a huge time and spell investment, especially with Reincarnation, which gives Sand King all the space he needs to cause chaos. This dual-threat frontline is incredibly difficult to manage.
