How Dawnbreaker and Night Stalker perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Dawnbreaker and Night Stalker win 48.30% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,205 matches.
Controlling the map becomes the main objective once the first night hits. Night Stalker excels at initiating on isolated targets, and his aggression is amplified by Dawnbreaker's ability to join any fight globally with Solar Guardian. This forces opponents to either group up and lose farm, or risk getting picked off by a sudden numbers disadvantage. Dawnbreaker's arrival with a stun on top of a hero Night Stalker has already silenced makes escapes very difficult. The synergy is strongest during the early and mid-game nights; if those aggressive plays don't translate into objectives, both heroes can struggle to scale effectively, which keeps the pairing from being completely dominant.
