How Dawnbreaker and Clockwerk perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Dawnbreaker and Clockwerk win 50.12% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 3,823 matches.
Seeing Clockwerk land a Hookshot from across the map can be a perfect setup for Dawnbreaker. Her Solar Guardian allows her to join the fight from anywhere, turning Clockwerk's long-range initiation into a two-hero gank. A good Power Cogs trap can hold a target in place for Dawnbreaker to land directly on top of them, creating an ideal scenario for her to follow up with Starbreaker. This combination aims to burst down an isolated hero quickly, creating a numbers advantage before a bigger fight breaks out.
However, the play is very telegraphed. The landing zone for Solar Guardian is visible to enemies, giving them a crucial window to either burst down Clockwerk or use abilities to escape the trap. If the target gets away, both heroes have now spent their long-cooldown ultimates with nothing to show for it. The effectiveness of this duo often depends less on their own coordination and more on whether the enemy team has the saves or mobility to react in time, making the outcome of these ganks highly situational.
