Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Phoenix wins the Dawnbreaker vs Phoenix matchup: Phoenix beats Dawnbreaker in 55.36% of 887 ranked matches.
Trying to lock down a good Phoenix player can be frustrating for Dawnbreaker. Her commitment with Starbreaker is often met with a quick Icarus Dive, leaving her swinging at empty air. The attack speed slow from Fire Spirits also neuters a lot of her physical damage, making it hard to trade effectively or finish a kill. On the other hand, Phoenix has to respect Dawnbreaker's durability and lockdown. A single misstep can lead to getting caught by Celestial Hammer and burst down before an escape is possible. The whole interaction often comes down to Supernova: if Phoenix is caught alone, the egg is tough for Dawnbreaker to break, but with any help at all it dies quickly.
