SabeRLighT named the best hero combinations in the current Dota 2 meta

Jonas “SabeRLight-” Volek recommends choosing the hero combinations Axe and Shadow Shaman, Death Prophet and Tusk, or Venomancer and Tusk to dominate the lane.

The player shared this advice on YouTube.

"Here are the three best combinations for dominating the lane, in my opinion:

Axe and Shadow Shaman

Battle Hunger on the support, and Shadow Shaman gives him “flounder,” more “flounder,” then takes Shackles and... Well, you know, this lane is very tough. Both heroes are meta right now. Take them and you will win.

Death Prophet and Tusk

Death Prophet is a broken hero. They buffed her. Her first ability deals 100 damage for 80 mana, which is incredibly profitable. Level up Spirit Siphon a little and suck them dry. You can't suck if you take Death Prophet.

Venomancer and Tusk

It's very annoying to face Venomancer. It's like the modern version of Viper. You spit on everyone, cast Venomous Gale, and don't let them move. Spit, spit, spit — and they will bow down to your damage. Recommended and certified by SabeRLighT-."

The player recommends the Axe and Shadow Shaman combo because of its strong line, in which Battle Hunger and Shackles control allow you to dominate the enemy support from the very beginning. Jonas “SabeRLight-” Volek chooses Death Prophet and Tusk because of their powerful damage for low mana and the ability to take resources from the enemy with Spirit Siphon, and Venomancer and Tusk because of their constant slowdown, continuous damage, and high pressure on the enemy, who finds it difficult to move on the line.

As a reminder, Jonas “SabeRLight-” Volek previously trolled PARIVISION players at the Riyadh Masters 2025.
