How Dawnbreaker and Ember Spirit perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Dawnbreaker and Ember Spirit win 55.46% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,008 matches.
Pairing a global presence with a slippery core creates a constant map-wide threat. Ember Spirit is great at jumping on targets with Fire Remnant but can be fragile if he gets locked down. Having a Dawnbreaker on the team means he can make these aggressive plays knowing Solar Guardian is a possible follow-up. Ember can initiate on a key hero, forcing a reaction, and Dawnbreaker can land directly on top of him to turn the skirmish into a decisive teamfight. This lets the Ember player be much more aggressive around the map, confident that his risky-looking initiation can become a coordinated gank from anywhere.
