Why this works
Struggling to build early momentum is a common problem for this pairing. Visage wants to accelerate the game and take objectives as soon as he gets Familiars, but Shadow Demon's laning phase doesn't create the aggressive pressure needed to get him there. Later on, their spells can feel clumsy together. Using Disruption to set up for Visage seems good on paper, but it forces a pause that interrupts the steady damage the Familiars need to deal. While the damage amplification from Soul Catcher helps secure a kill, the overall timing often feels too disjointed to let Visage properly snowball.
