Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Dragon Knight wins the Dragon Knight vs Primal Beast matchup: Dragon Knight beats Primal Beast in 54.21% of 1,568 ranked matches.
Clashing in a teamfight often comes down to which hero uses their stun first. Dragon Knight has a straightforward way to deal with Primal Beast's Pulverize, as a well-timed Dragon Tail will interrupt the channel and free his teammate. At the same time, Primal Beast can be equally disruptive, as his own lockdown works on Dragon Knight even in Elder Dragon Form. Both heroes are naturally durable front-liners who want to stand their ground. The matchup usually hinges on which player is faster to react or gets the better initiation, because once one of them is stunned, the other can often take control of the fight.
