How Terrorblade and Vengeful Spirit perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Terrorblade and Vengeful Spirit win 49.41% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 506 matches.
Keeping Terrorblade alive through the mid-game is the whole plan, and Vengeful Spirit is great at it. Nether Swap provides a reliable escape when he gets caught farming or is focused in a fight before he can use Sunder. Wave of Terror also melts armor, which makes Metamorphosis hit that much harder against key targets. The main issue is that the lane itself can be a bit awkward. Terrorblade often needs a more defensive partner to secure his farm, while Vengeful Spirit excels at being aggressive. This puts pressure on the Venge player to use their aggression to create space instead of trying to force kills with a carry who isn't ready.
