Who counters Dawnbreaker in Dota 2 7.41e? 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. She dominates immobile, low-sustain heroes: Nature's Prophet, Timbersaw and Shadow Demon get ground down. 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. Draft tip: Dawnbreaker is a fantastic durable front-liner with global presence; she's weaker into burst-heavy and sustain-cancelling (AA, Silencer) drafts.
