Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Pugna wins the Dawnbreaker vs Pugna matchup: Pugna beats Dawnbreaker in 51.04% of 578 ranked matches.
Teamfights often come down to who controls the back line, and Dawnbreaker makes life very difficult for a hero like Pugna. She can close the distance on him instantly with Celestial Hammer, forcing him to use Decrepify on himself. While that stops her right-clicks, she still has plenty of magic damage to threaten him. More importantly, the stun from a fully charged Starbreaker is a clean, reliable way to cancel Life Drain, shutting down Pugna's primary survival tool and damage source. Solar Guardian also lets Dawnbreaker arrive from anywhere to save an ally being drained, completely turning around what looked like a sure kill for Pugna.
