How this matchup plays

Pushing into an Arc Warden is always a slow, painful process. Dragon Knight wants to group up and hit buildings, but he has to trudge through a minefield of Spark Wraiths to do it. Once he's there, Magnetic Field can negate his ranged attacks in Elder Dragon Form, forcing him to either reposition or back off completely. However, Dragon Knight is exceptionally durable and can often survive Arc Warden's initial onslaught. A timely Blink Dagger gives him a reliable way to get on top of the real Arc Warden and lock him down with Dragon Tail. The fight often comes down to whether Dragon Knight can close that distance before the clones and spells wear him down from afar.
