How Dawnbreaker and Troll Warlord perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Dawnbreaker and Troll Warlord win 54.09% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 3,165 matches.
Picking this pair often hinges on whether your team can coordinate a single, powerful spell. Dawnbreaker's global presence with Solar Guardian allows her to join a fight from anywhere, landing on Troll Warlord to protect him. This is especially useful when Troll commits with Battle Trance, since he can't be easily kited or burst while Dawnbreaker's stun and heal go off. However, the combo is predictable. Smart opponents will save stuns for Dawnbreaker's landing or simply disengage when they see the animation start. This dependency on a single, telegraphed interaction means the plan doesn't always come together, making it a fairly situational pairing.
