How Dawnbreaker and Undying perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Dawnbreaker and Undying win 56.69% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,480 matches.
Fighting into this duo often feels like a no-win situation. Dawnbreaker wants to dive deep with Starbreaker or Solar Guardian, creating the perfect chaotic brawl for Undying to drop his Tombstone. Enemies are immediately forced to choose between hitting the Tombstone or the massive-healing frontliner smashing them in the face. All the while, Undying spams Decay to drain strength from key targets. This makes them much squishier and more vulnerable to Dawnbreaker's follow-up burst damage, securing kills that would otherwise be close calls.
This strategy peaks in mid-game teamfights. With Dawnbreaker's global presence, Undying can commit his biggest spells with confidence, knowing his brawling partner will arrive. A single well-placed Tombstone after Dawnbreaker lands can completely seal off an area and overrun the fight with zombies. Even if Dawnbreaker gets low, a clutch Soul Rip can turn the engagement. To beat this, opponents must avoid clumping up for Solar Guardian and try to burst one hero down before the other can respond. If they get their full combo set up, the only option is to disengage or get ground down.
