Dragon Knight Counters (7.41e)
Who counters Dragon Knight in Dota 2 7.41e? The heroes Dragon Knight beats and loses to, ranked by win rate from ranked matches.
Dragon Knight is a tanky carry/initiator whose Elder Dragon Form gives him range and splash, Dragon Tail stuns, and Dragon Blood keeps him near-unkillable mid-game. He's strong into immobile heroes he can stun and out-tank: Nature's Prophet, Timbersaw and Puck get caught and ground down. DK is countered by late-game scalers and sustain that out-last his mid-game spike: Spectre, Necrophos and Wraith King overtake him in the late game, while Chen out-tempos early. Draft tip: DK is a strong tempo/tower-pusher into squishy drafts; close the game on his mid-game timing before Spectre/WK-style carries out-scale him.
In Dota 2 7.41e, the heroes that counter Dragon Knight hardest are Undying, Pugna and Phoenix — Dragon Knight wins only 40.4%, 40.7% and 40.9% of ranked matches against them.
