How Dawnbreaker and Death Prophet perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Dawnbreaker and Death Prophet win 54.20% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 369 matches.
Thinking a Solar Guardian on top of an active Exorcism will win the teamfight often leads to disappointment. While the concept seems powerful, both heroes want to occupy a similar space without effectively enabling one another. After Dawnbreaker lands, enemies are incentivized to scatter immediately. This splits the damage from Death Prophet’s spirits and makes it hard to focus a kill. If the enemy team has any mobility or forced movement, they can easily kite both heroes after the initial stun wears off. You end up with two committed long-cooldown ultimates that rely on the enemy making a mistake rather than creating a guaranteed advantage.
