How Vengeful Spirit and Winter Wyvern perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Vengeful Spirit and Winter Wyvern win 58.91% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 550 matches.
Saving an ally with a risky Nether Swap becomes much more reliable with a Winter Wyvern on your team. That hero Vengeful Spirit just pulled out of a fight is a prime target, but Wyvern’s Cold Embrace provides immediate physical immunity, buying crucial seconds for them to escape or for your team to turn. This combo effectively nullifies the enemy’s immediate reaction to the Swap. Offensively, the setup is also powerful. Venge’s Wave of Terror shreds armor on a priority target, making them dissolve much faster if they become the focus of a Winter's Curse. The layered slows from both kits also make it nearly impossible for enemies to reposition once a fight breaks out.
