How Skywrath Mage and Undying perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Skywrath Mage and Undying win 52.25% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 15,144 matches.
Picking these two heroes together is often a bet on early lane dominance. On paper, Undying's Decay makes a target softer and his zombie slows can help Skywrath Mage land a full combo. This can create a kill opportunity if the enemy has no escape. The core issue is that Undying doesn't provide the hard lockdown Skywrath truly wants. A slow is helpful, but it doesn't guarantee a target stays inside a Mystic Flare the way a long stun would. This lack of a surefire setup means their effectiveness can vary greatly from lane to lane.
As the game progresses, their plans can diverge. Undying wants to be in the enemy's face, dropping Tombstone and causing chaos to make space. Skywrath needs to hang back, looking for a single, isolated target to silence and burst down. An enemy team with good positioning can often split them up, either diving the backline to kill Skywrath or kiting away from Undying's zombies. Their success depends heavily on the enemy making a mistake, as they don't have a natural way to force a coordinated attack together.
