In Dota 2 7.41e, Slardar and Undying win 52.67% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 9,984 matches.
Running at someone as this pair is a nightmare for the target. Slardar’s Corrosive Haze makes them extremely vulnerable to physical damage, and Undying’s Tombstone zombies happen to deal physical damage. Once the armor is gone, the zombies hit far harder than an enemy expects, quickly overwhelming a slowed or stunned hero. This isn't a late-game scaling plan; it's about applying immense pressure from the very start of the lane. Both heroes want to fight constantly, and their abilities stack on top of each other to make kills happen.
The game plan is to force objectives early and often. Slardar finds a key target, applies his ultimate and Slithereen Crush, and Undying immediately drops Tombstone to seal the deal. If Flesh Golem is also up, the target is slowed, takes amplified damage, has no armor, and is swarmed by zombies. The opponent is caught between a rock and a hard place: grouping up is dangerous against Tombstone, but splitting up makes them easy pick-offs for a fast-moving Slardar. This forces awkward positioning and difficult item choices, as they need to counter both a physical damage carry and a strength-stealing teamfight monster.
