How Dawnbreaker and Skywrath Mage perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Dawnbreaker and Skywrath Mage win 50.22% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,565 matches.
Enabling a Skywrath Mage often means protecting him from getting jumped. Dawnbreaker's Solar Guardian is a powerful tool for this, allowing her to turn a gank on her fragile ally into a counter-attack anywhere on the map. The stun from her landing can be enough setup for Skywrath to land an Ancient Seal into Mystic Flare. In the laning stage, Dawnbreaker’s own stuns can hold targets still, helping Skywrath connect with his high-damage spells more reliably.
The constant threat of a Solar Guardian response can make enemies hesitate to commit on Skywrath Mage, giving him safer positioning. This means a coordinated team can turn a potential pick-off into a kill of their own. The weakness is clear, though: this synergy is heavily tied to Dawnbreaker's ultimate cooldown. If Solar Guardian has been used or baited, the enemy team has a wide window to find and burst Skywrath down before he can react.
