How Spirit Breaker and Tusk perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41f, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41f, Spirit Breaker and Tusk win 47.98% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 25,456 matches.
Struggling to secure map control and farm with this lineup is common. Both Spirit Breaker and Tusk want to play the same role: a roaming, space-creating initiator who snowballs off early kills. They end up competing for the same gank opportunities and don't farm well enough to recover if those ganks fail. Their initiations can also clash. Tusk might throw up Ice Shards to trap someone, but this can easily block Spirit Breaker from landing his own stuns after a Charge of Darkness. This creates awkward moments where their skills get in each other's way instead of combining effectively, allowing enemies to slip through the cracks.
How this pairing performs across skill brackets — the duo's team win rate in recent ranked matches, split by average match rank. Ranks with too few recent matches are omitted.
