How Dragon Knight and Undying perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Dragon Knight and Undying win 59.94% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 674 matches.
Putting a Tombstone down after a Dragon Tail stun creates an effective kill zone. Both Dragon Knight and Undying are durable heroes who want to stand their ground and force enemies to fight them head-on. They excel at running down opponents who are stuck in the zombie pit, applying constant pressure and attrition. Their main weakness as a pair is a shared lack of real burst damage. While they are great at sustained brawls, slippery heroes can often survive their initial assault and escape before the damage really adds up.
The strategy revolves around hitting key timings with Elder Dragon Form and Tombstone. You group up, win a teamfight through sheer attrition, and then convert that into taking objectives. This plan is very strong against teams that can't disengage. The problem is that lineups with good mobility and long-range poke can easily kite them. Enemies will try to split-push or poke from a safe distance, avoiding the direct confrontation that Dragon Knight and Undying need to be effective. It all comes down to whether the enemy draft lets you walk at them.
