How Dawnbreaker and Venomancer perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Dawnbreaker and Venomancer win 50.36% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,805 matches.
Picking these two heroes together doesn't seem to be for a specific game-winning combo, and the outcome reflects that. Venomancer’s slows can help set up for Dawnbreaker’s Starbreaker, and a team-wide Poison Nova is a decent welcome mat for her Solar Guardian arrival. The issue is that the pair lacks any real lockdown, so they can’t guarantee a kill on a single mobile target. Granted, we haven’t seen this duo played much recently. Their general teamfight presence works out, but they don't actively cover each other's weaknesses.
How this pairing performs across skill brackets — the duo's team win rate in recent ranked matches, split by average match rank. Ranks with too few recent matches are omitted. These rows use the last 30 days of quality-filtered ranked matches, all patches in that span combined — a wider window than the patch-scoped count above, so the per-rank match totals can exceed it.

| Crusader & Archon | 51.55% | 1,065 |
