How Dawnbreaker and Spirit Breaker perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Dawnbreaker and Spirit Breaker win 57.55% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,861 matches.
Controlling the map with this pair is straightforward. Spirit Breaker can initiate from anywhere with Charge of Darkness, and Dawnbreaker simply casts Solar Guardian on him to join the fight. When Spirit Breaker arrives and stuns his target, Dawnbreaker lands moments later with another AoE stun and a burst of healing. This global gank combination almost guarantees a kill on any isolated hero, and it can be executed from across the map with very little warning. The follow-up damage from Starbreaker usually seals the deal.
The constant threat this creates is enormous. Enemy cores can't safely farm aggressive lanes or jungle camps, forcing them to huddle together much earlier than they'd like. This cedes map control and objectives to your team. The only way for the other team to cope is to have multiple save abilities ready or to group up constantly, which slows down their own farm. Dawnbreaker and Spirit Breaker get to dictate the pace of the entire mid-game.
