Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41f win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41f, Dragon Knight wins the Dragon Knight vs Grimstroke matchup: Dragon Knight beats Grimstroke in 51.23% of 31,825 ranked matches.
Trying to run at a backline target feels tough when Grimstroke is on the other team. His Ink Swell can stun Dragon Knight on the approach, and the follow-up silence from Phantom's Embrace prevents an instant Dragon Tail. The biggest issue is Soulbind, which forces difficult choices. Dragon Knight either has to retreat, pulling a more fragile ally with him into danger, or stand his ground while tethered. This makes focusing a target very difficult. However, Dragon Knight's innate toughness allows him to survive much of this harassment. If Grimstroke himself gets caught out by a stun, he goes down very quickly, so the pressure isn't entirely one-sided.
