Bad against...

Ancient Apparition "AA" redirects here. For the professional player, see ARS-ART.   Hero   Strategy   Counters   Equipment   Gear   Responses   Sounds   Lore   Old Abilities   Changelogs   Known Bugs     dota2
  • Cold Feet and Ice Vortex both hinder Dragon Knight`s movement greatly during teamfights.
  • Ice Blast ignores Dragon Knight`s armor and kills him prematurely.
Lich   Hero   Strategy   Counters   Equipment   Gear   Responses   Sounds   Lore   Old Abilities   Changelogs   Known Bugs     Lich 18 + 1.85 15 + 2 18 + dota2
  • Lich`s constant slows with Frost Blast and Chain Frost will slow Dragon Knight to a crawl, especially in a crowded teamfight.
Necrophos   Hero   Strategy   Counters   Equipment   Gear   Responses   Sounds   Lore   Old Abilities   Changelogs     Necrophos 16 + 2.3 15 + 1.2 22 + 2.5 Level Base dota2
  • Heartstopper Aura and Reaper`s Scythe go right through Dragon Knight`s armor.

Razor   Hero   Strategy   Counters   Equipment   Gear   Responses   Sounds   Lore   Old Abilities   Changelogs     Razor 21 + 2.6 22 + 2 21 + 1.8 Level Base dota2
  • Static Link saps Dragon Knight of his already low base damage, making him even more useless in a fight if he gets kited.
  • Unstable Current makes Razor much faster than Dragon Knight, and hard to catch. Additionally, stunning Razor proves minimally effective in a one-on-one situation due to the counter damage and purge.
Timbersaw   Hero   Strategy   Counters   Equipment   Gear   Responses   Sounds   Lore   Old Abilities   Changelogs     Timbersaw 21 + 2.1 16 + 1.3 21 + 2.4 Level Base dota2
  • Timbersaw`s pure damage will kill Dragon Knight surprisingly fast, especially if he gets caught in a bad position while laning.

Others

Good against...

Bloodseeker   Hero   Strategy   Counters   Equipment   Gear   Responses   Sounds   Lore   Old Abilities   Changelogs   Known Bugs     Bloodseeker 23 + 2.7 24 + 3 18 + dota2
  • Bloodseeker`s physical damage is unlikely to kill Dragon Knight, and therefore rarely get a chance to recover the large amount of @@@#@@@HP(hp.com)###@### from Thirst.
Clinkz
  • The extra damage from Searing Arrows is largely blocked by Dragon Knight`s armor.
Nyx Assassin
  • Dragon Knight`s heavy armor negates Vendetta`s burst physical damage. His large HPTechnology company pool also gives him a good chance of surviving Nyx Assassin`s follow-up nuke damage.
Riki
  • Riki does little damage to Dragon Knight, as he relies only on physical damage with modest attack speed and lack of burst.
Spirit Breaker
  • Spirit Breaker`s slow attack speed and moderate damage do very little to harm Dragon Knight, even if ganked with Charge of Darkness.
Templar Assassin
  • Despite the armor reduction from Meld, Templar Assassin`s reliance on physical damage and medium attack speed is unlikely to harm Dragon Knight.
  • Templar Assassin`s Refraction charges also get quickly removed by the damage over time from Dragon Knight`s ultimate.
Witch Doctor
  • Death Ward does little damage against Dragon Knight`s armor, and Dragon Knight`s high health regeneration minimizes damage from Maledict.

Works well with...

Chen
  • Hand of God is especially useful on Dragon Knight, as it keeps him alive as both carry and tank.
Crystal Maiden
  • Arcane Aura is especially useful for Dragon Knight. Coupled with his naturally high health regeneration, it ensures that Dragon Knight rarely needs to return to the base.
  • Frostbite and her slows make it much easier for Dragon Knight to deal damage.
Enigma
  • A well-placed Black Hole gives Dragon Knight ample opportunity to ravage the enemy team with Elder Dragon Form`s splash damage. Additionally, Dragon Knight can use Dragon Tail and the level 3 Elder Dragon`s frost attack to trap enemies inside Midnight Pulse for heavy damage.
Magnus
  • A good Reverse Polarity sets Dragon Knight up to deal much splash damage in Elder Dragon Form. Empower also grants extra splash damage to Elder Dragon Form, while allowing Dragon Knight to cleave in melee form and farm up more quickly.
Medusa
  • Medusa`s tankiness combined with that of Dragon Knight`s can be enough to overwhelm a disadvantaged enemy team.
Omniknight
  • Repel`s low-cooldown spell immunity protects Dragon Knight from disables and magic damage, forcing them to try and take him down with physical damage alone - a daunting task even without Guardian Angel.
Treant Protector
  • Living Armor makes it very hard for enemy carries to take down Dragon Knight.
  • Nature`s Guise helps offset Dragon Knight`s lack of mobility by letting him sneak up on enemies under cover of invisibility.
