Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Dragon Knight wins the Dragon Knight vs Earth Spirit matchup: Dragon Knight beats Earth Spirit in 50.38% of 3,380 ranked matches.
Ganking a solo Dragon Knight is often a frustrating experience for Earth Spirit. Thanks to Dragon Blood, the knight is usually tanky enough to survive Earth Spirit's initial combo and can threaten to turn the fight with a Dragon Tail stun. Later on, Earth Spirit can still be a major nuisance, using Boulder Smash to knock Dragon Knight out of position or interrupt his tower pushes during Elder Dragon Form. However, he seldom has the sustained damage to bring DK down by himself. In return, the slow-moving Dragon Knight has almost no way to lock down and kill a mobile Earth Spirit who can easily escape with Rolling Boulder. They mostly end up nullifying each other’s plans.
