Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Dazzle wins the Dazzle vs Dragon Knight matchup: Dazzle beats Dragon Knight in 51.72% of 2,419 ranked matches.
Trying to bring down a late-game Dragon Knight often feels impossible due to his massive armor from Dragon's Blood. Dazzle's Bad Juju, however, systematically shreds that armor with every spell, making Dragon Knight surprisingly fragile for his team to focus down. Shallow Grave also counters the pick-off potential of a Blink Dagger into Dragon Tail. Still, this matchup is far from one-sided. Dragon Knight is durable enough to survive the initial burst and can simply build a Black King Bar to ignore Dazzle's spells. If Dragon Knight can get a clean initiation onto Dazzle himself, the fight often swings the other way, as Dazzle has few tools to survive being jumped.
