How Spirit Breaker and Winter Wyvern perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Spirit Breaker and Winter Wyvern win 52.76% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 6,088 matches.
Deciding to pair these two heroes often comes down to having a safety net for an aggressive playstyle. Spirit Breaker's Charge of Darkness provides global initiation and vision, which helps Winter Wyvern position for her own spells. A well-timed Cold Embrace can save Spirit Breaker after he dives deep for a kill, letting him survive situations he otherwise wouldn't. The main setup comes from Winter's Curse, which can lock down the target's allies after Spirit Breaker has crashed into them and created chaos, turning a pickoff into a teamfight win.
Throughout the game, this pairing relies on the Winter Wyvern player's judgment. In successful ganks, she uses her ultimate offensively on a clumped-up team that's trying to save their ally from Spirit Breaker. In messy fights, she holds her spells to save an overextended Spirit Breaker. The reason this isn't a stronger combination is because these goals can conflict; a premature Cold Embrace can stop Spirit Breaker from finishing his target. Enemies will try to split up to avoid the Curse and burst Wyvern down before she can react.
