Who counters Dawnbreaker in Dota 2 7.41f? The heroes Dawnbreaker beats and loses to, ranked by win rate from ranked matches.
Dawnbreaker is a durable melee support/core whose Celestial Hammer + Starbreaker out-sustain lanes and whose Solar Guardian heals and stuns from anywhere on the map.

Dawnbreaker is countered by heroes that out-damage her healing or punish her dive: Phoenix, Silencer and Nyx Assassin all out-trade, while Winter Wyvern out-sustains.
