How Bane and Dawnbreaker perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Bane and Dawnbreaker win 54.89% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 603 matches.
Holding someone down with Fiend's Grip provides a perfect target for Dawnbreaker's Solar Guardian. The enemy is stuck for the entire landing sequence, guaranteeing the stun and letting both heroes unload their damage for a near-certain kill. This global combination allows Dawnbreaker to join any gank Bane starts, turning a simple pick-off into a major map advantage. Even without that combo, a simple Nightmare is all the setup Dawnbreaker needs to land her full Starbreaker. Bane keeps a key target locked down and helpless, while Dawnbreaker provides the heavy area damage needed to win the ensuing fight.
