How Arc Warden and Dragon Knight perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Arc Warden and Dragon Knight win 45.75% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 153 matches.
Committing to both these cores in a draft often creates a timing problem for your team. Arc Warden and Dragon Knight are both greedy heroes who need a lot of farm and levels to come online, but they don't offer much kill threat together in the early game. This forces your other two heroes to play passively and give up map control. Even later on, their playstyles don't mesh well. Dragon Knight wants to blink in and be a mobile frontliner, while Arc Warden wants to set up a defensive position with Magnetic Field and his Tempest Double. They end up wanting to take fights in completely different ways, leading to disorganized teamfights.
How this pairing performs across skill brackets — the duo's team win rate in recent ranked matches, split by average match rank. Ranks with too few recent matches are omitted. These rows use the last 30 days of quality-filtered ranked matches, all patches in that span combined — a wider window than the patch-scoped count above, so the per-rank match totals can exceed it.
