How Slark and Undying perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Slark and Undying win 51.75% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 15,513 matches.
A chaotic teamfight that drags on is where this pairing finds its footing. Undying excels at creating these long, messy brawls with Tombstone and Flesh Golem. This extended duration gives Slark a perfect window to build his Essence Shift stacks, growing stronger as the fight continues. The constant slows from zombies also help Slark stick to a target, while the damage amplification from Flesh Golem makes his focus fire more effective. Undying makes the fight last, and Slark profits from every extra second.
This creates a difficult choice for opponents in the mid-game. Focusing the Tombstone gives Slark free rein to attack supports. Trying to burst Slark is also tough given his escape tools, and all the while Undying and his zombies are whittling the team down. The plan can fall apart, however, if the enemy team has enough coordinated burst to eliminate either hero before the fight gets out of control. If Slark or Undying gets blown up at the start, their synergy never gets a chance to develop, which keeps the advantage from being a decisive one.
