How Dragon Knight and Nyx Assassin perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Dragon Knight and Nyx Assassin win 50.30% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 332 matches.
Catching an enemy out of position is the main thing these two do together. A gank from Nyx Assassin provides an easy setup for Dragon Knight’s stun, and that much lockdown is usually enough to secure a kill. Beyond that initial pickoff potential, they don't offer each other much. Dragon Knight is a front-line tower-pusher and Nyx is an elusive back-line hunter, so their objectives often pull them in opposite directions during teamfights. It's not a common pairing, so it's hard to be certain how it really feels to play.
