How this matchup plays

Taking towers and squeezing the map is how Dragon Knight shuts this all down. Templar Assassin wants to snowball from pickoffs and ancient stacks, but DK makes that game plan very difficult. In lane, Breathe Fire lowers her attack damage while his high armor from Dragon Blood lets him ignore her physical burst. The real problem for her starts when he gets Elder Dragon Form. The corrosive breath applies a damage-over-time effect that burns through Refraction charges for free, leaving her completely exposed. A Templar Assassin without her shield is an easy kill, and Dragon Knight has the perfect tool to make that happen consistently.
