Why this works
Using Solar Guardian on a Shapeshifted Lycan provides an almost guaranteed initiation. Lycan can run at a target from anywhere, and Dawnbreaker's arrival brings a massive stun and heal right on top of the fight, securing the kill. This combo lets the pair play an aggressive, map-wide game. Dawnbreaker doesn't need to be nearby for Lycan to feel safe pushing a dangerous lane or invading the enemy jungle. If a fight breaks out, she can instantly join. This constant pressure makes it very difficult for opponents to find safe farm, allowing your team to build a lead and take objectives early.
