How Dawnbreaker and Grimstroke perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41f, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41f, Dawnbreaker and Grimstroke win 53.71% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 27,903 matches.
Forcing an enemy team to choose between grouping up or spreading out is a powerful position to draft yourself into. Grimstroke makes clumping disastrous with Soulbind, threatening to hold two heroes in place. This provides the perfect setup for Dawnbreaker to land a devastating Solar Guardian, often winning a teamfight on its own. If the enemy tries to stay separated to avoid this, they become easy prey for Dawnbreaker's global presence, as she can join any small skirmish. Even in lane, Grimstroke's Ink Swell provides a reliable stun for Dawnbreaker to follow up on with a full Starbreaker combo, creating kill pressure from the very start of the game.
