How Dawnbreaker and Primal Beast perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Dawnbreaker and Primal Beast win 45.20% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 177 matches.
Picking these two brawlers together creates a serious problem for the enemy team. Primal Beast loves to start a fight with a long-distance Onslaught, and Dawnbreaker can use Solar Guardian to land on him as he arrives, creating an instant two-hero gank anywhere on the map. The combined stuns and burst damage are often enough to delete a core before their team can react. Later on, Primal Beast can use Pulverize to hold a high-priority target in place, guaranteeing that Dawnbreaker lands a full Starbreaker combo. This constant, map-wide threat of initiation forces opponents to play passively and stick together, which bleeds their farm and map control over time.
