How Dragon Knight and Wraith King perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Dragon Knight and Wraith King win 56.26% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 455 matches.
Pushing towers early becomes the default game plan with these two cores. Dragon Knight and Wraith King are both so durable that trying to kill either one requires a massive commitment from the enemy team. This frontline strength comes from their overlapping stun potential; a Dragon Tail sets up a perfect Wraithfire Blast, locking a target down for an easy kill. With Wraith King’s lifesteal aura benefiting both heroes and his Reincarnation punishing any overextension from the enemy, your team can confidently take control of the map and force fights on your own terms.
This duo encourages a straightforward, five-man objective-based strategy. Once Dragon Knight unlocks his Elder Dragon Form, the pair can start methodically taking down outer towers, supplemented by Wraith King's skeletons. The enemy is forced into a difficult choice: either commit to a full teamfight against two incredibly tanky heroes with multiple lives, or give up objectives for free. The most effective counter is to avoid these direct confrontations, split the map, and try to delay until you have enough damage to burn through their massive health pools and Reincarnation.
