Flaming Lasso can drag multiple targets into Proximity Mines, while setting up a devastating Sticky Bombo into Blast Off! + Proximity Mines Techi combo. Flamebreak can push people into Proximity Mines. Reactive Tazer once upgraded with Aghanim's Shard can be used on Batrider to drag his Flaming Lasso victims even further.
Firefly and Dark Ascension both provide flying movement, making it easy for NS and Batrider to play together irrelevant of terrain. Dark Ascension providing unobstructed vision gives Batrider perfect information to get his Flaming Lasso of for NS to follow up on a target that's already crowd controlled.
Rupture can damage affected targets as Batrider drags them with Flaming Lasso or repositions them with Flamebreak. Blood Rite is a strong follow up to finish off or at the very least further damage enemies and empower Bloodseeker with Thirst.
Surge allows Batrider to drag targets with Flaming Lasso at a far greater distance and spread more fire with Firefly as it provides hasted movement speed and prevents slowing. Ion Shell supplements him with further damage to help secure the kill and makes him significantly more potent as he aims to run over people with Firefly anyway.
Repel gives Batrider a dispellable BKB allowing him to drag opponets with Flaming Lasso and spread fire with Firefly with ease. Purification work both offensively and defensively with Batrider as he aims to stay on top of his targets anyway with Firefly.
Rebound allows Batrider to drag targets with Flaming Lasso at a far greater distance and spread more fire with Firefly as it provides massive amounts of movement speed. Flaming Lasso allows even a support Marci to finish off a target with Unleash and Dispose can be used on both Batrider and his target to reposition them even further.
LS can Infest Batrider for a classic Infest Bomb combo allowing him a consistent way of getting in the midst of battle, while empowering Batrider's own survivability and mobility.

Dark Pact is a low cooldown Strong Dispel, which can dispel Flaming Lasso, Flamebreak's DOT as well as remove Sticky Napalm Stacks consistently.
