How Spectre and Warlock perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Spectre and Warlock win 56.83% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,332 matches.
Fatal Bonds linking multiple heroes creates the ideal scenario for Spectre's Haunt. Once Warlock sets up that damage share, every attack from every Haunt illusion triggers it on the entire enemy team at once. This results in an enormous amount of burst that's difficult to itemize against or heal through. After Warlock drops Chaotic Offering, the stun and subsequent slows from his Golem and Upheaval make it easy for Spectre and her illusions to stick to targets and finish the job.
This combination allows Spectre to accelerate her farm without abandoning her team. Warlock can initiate fights from the mid-game on, and Spectre can join with her ultimate while still farming a distant lane. This gets her crucial gold from kills, hitting her item timings much faster than usual. The opposing team is forced to choose between grouping up and dying to the combo, or splitting the map and giving up objectives and control. Their main path to victory is to build a massive early lead before the combo comes online.
