How Snapfire and Vengeful Spirit perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Snapfire and Vengeful Spirit win 51.79% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 2,037 matches.
Setting up kills for Snapfire is incredibly simple with Vengeful Spirit on the team. A well-timed Nether Swap can pull an enemy directly into the full barrage of Mortimer’s Kisses with no chance of escape. On a shorter cooldown, Magic Missile provides a reliable stun to guarantee a Firesnap Cookie follow-up or a few ultimate globules. This combo isn't limited to spells, either. Vengeful Spirit’s Wave of Terror shreds armor, making Snapfire's right-clicks from Lil' Shredder hit surprisingly hard, and Vengeance Aura gives her the extra range and damage to apply that threat from a safer distance.
The laning phase with this pair can be oppressive, layering stuns and slows to secure early advantages. As the game progresses, Vengeful Spirit acts as both an initiator and a bodyguard for Snapfire. She can start a fight with a Swap or use it defensively to save Snapfire if she gets caught channeling her ultimate. Opponents are forced to respect this initiation range and can't group up for fear of a devastating ultimate combined with armor reduction. This constant threat of being picked off or caught in a bad fight gives the duo strong map control.
