How Chaos Knight and Dawnbreaker perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Chaos Knight and Dawnbreaker win 59.93% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 277 matches.
Picking these two cores together creates a simple and brutal ganking machine. Chaos Knight just needs to find a target and land a Chaos Bolt. That stun provides the perfect window for Dawnbreaker to cast Solar Guardian and arrive on the scene with another stun and heavy damage. It’s a very reliable way to delete a single hero from anywhere on the map. This duo can turn one pickoff into a tower or Roshan attempt with ease. Later in the game, both heroes are durable frontliners who can stand their ground, forcing the enemy to split their focus between two major threats during a teamfight, which is often too much to handle.
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.
