How Dawnbreaker and Keeper of the Light perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Dawnbreaker and Keeper of the Light win 54.79% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 971 matches.
Endless mana from Keeper of the Light's Chakra Magic lets Dawnbreaker use her spells nonstop. This means she can clear waves and jungle camps much faster, accelerating her farm without ever needing to go back to base. It also means she's always ready to fight. A Dawnbreaker with full mana is a huge threat, and Keeper ensures that's always the case. She can focus her item build on damage and survivability instead of solving her own mana problems, letting her hit key timings much earlier.
The game becomes about relentless map pressure. Keeper of the Light can safely push out lanes with Illuminate, forcing a reaction. Dawnbreaker can then use Solar Guardian on him or any other ally to create a numbers advantage. After a successful fight, Keeper can use Recall to immediately send Dawnbreaker back to farming a safe lane, minimizing downtime. Enemies are constantly forced to choose between defending pushes or giving up map control, and their only real opening is to catch and burst Keeper before any help can arrive.
