Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Dawnbreaker wins the Dawnbreaker vs Io matchup: Dawnbreaker beats Io in 54.48% of 982 ranked matches.
Picking Io to enable a specific core can be risky when Dawnbreaker is in the pool. Io's game revolves around using Relocate to create number advantages, either saving a teammate or ganking an enemy. The problem is that Dawnbreaker's Solar Guardian does the same job, but often with more immediate fight-winning impact when she lands. She can instantly join and reverse a fight that Io started. Beyond that, Dawnbreaker excels at diving a single target and bursting them down with her combo. This makes her a direct threat to whoever Io is trying to protect, as the wisp itself has little to stop her from running at its tethered ally.
