How Dawnbreaker and Slardar perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Dawnbreaker and Slardar win 52.40% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 292 matches.
Thinking you can punish an initiating Slardar is often a trap. Right when you commit your spells to burst him, Dawnbreaker can turn the gank completely around with a Solar Guardian from across the map. The global heal and stun landing on top of a Slithereen Crush is a devastating setup that can win a fight before it really starts. Beyond that huge combo, the synergy is constant. Corrosive Haze massively amps up all of Dawnbreaker's physical damage, making her hammer throws and Starbreaker much more lethal. Together they form a durable, aggressive frontline that can force fights and objectives well ahead of the other team's schedule.
