How Wraith King and Winter Wyvern perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Wraith King and Winter Wyvern win 54.79% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 668 matches.
Trying to kill Wraith King becomes a nightmare for the enemy team. He already gets a second life from Reincarnation, but Winter Wyvern’s Cold Embrace adds another layer of security. She can use it to save him before he dies, or to protect him immediately after he resurrects, letting him heal up while being immune to physical attacks. Offensively, Winter's Curse isolates a single target, setting them up perfectly for a follow-up Wraithfire Blast and an easy kill for Wraith King once the curse ends.
This dynamic defines mid-game teamfights. Wraith King can play incredibly aggressively, knowing he has multiple safety nets. The enemy is forced into a terrible choice: commit massive resources to killing him twice through a Cold Embrace, or ignore him and get run over. The best counterplay is to find and eliminate Winter Wyvern before the fight begins, removing the key piece of sustain that makes Wraith King so resilient. Otherwise, they have to hope they have enough magic burst to finish him off during the heal.
