How Wraith King and Skywrath Mage perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Wraith King and Skywrath Mage win 56.50% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 2,317 matches.
Picking a durable frontliner who can also set up kills often leads to this pairing. Wraith King provides a simple, reliable stun with Wraithfire Blast, which is exactly what Skywrath Mage needs to guarantee his damage. The target is held perfectly still for a full Mystic Flare, and Skywrath's silence can follow up to prevent any escape or retaliation after the stun wears off. It's a straightforward but lethal combination of lockdown and magic burst that makes their lane incredibly threatening from the first few levels.
This pattern only gets stronger. As the game goes on, Wraith King becomes a massive problem for the enemy team, demanding huge commitments to bring him down through Reincarnation. The space he creates by simply existing on the frontline gives Skywrath Mage all the time he needs to cast his spells safely from the back. Opponents are forced to choose between focusing the king's two lives while being melted by free-casting damage, or attempting a risky dive on the fragile mage who is protected by his stunning carry.
