Dragon Knight Guide


Items

Starting items:

  • Tango. One is usually enough, as Dragon Blood can keep him in lane with minimum health regeneration.
  • Quelling Blade makes last hitting easier, which is very important for a carry.
  • Clarity is needed because of Dragon Knight`s poor mana pool.
  • Gauntlets of Strength grant more health, and can be used to build a Bracer.
  • Iron Branch gives nice attributes, and can be used to build a Magic Wand.

Early game:

Core items:

  • Power Treads are useful not only because of the attack speed they give, but also because you can switch the attribute to Intelligence attribute symbol.png Intelligence if you need more mana, usually just before using an ability; otherwise you can keep them on Strength attribute symbol.png Strength to make you more durable and to make last hitting easier.
  • Magic Wand provides you with more attributes and good health and mana regeneration. Also, it uses up the branches bought earlier, making room for more items while keeping their stats.
  • Black King Bar is a crucial item to have in most games to prevent being disabled. With the added survivability, damage and magic immunity, you become more durable and able to jump into the fight with less risk of dying.

His heavy armor and regeneration from Dragon Blood makes him tankier than most carries, especially in the early game. If his team gains the upper hand, Dragon Knight`s presence often ensures continued domination with little chance of enemy comeback.

While resilient, Dragon Knight`s damage output depends heavily on his dragon form, and can be rather useless if caught while it`s on cooldown. Dragon Knight is also quite slow, and has no mobility skills.
Pros Cons
  • Slow movement speed.
  • Very dependent on his ultimate.
  • Dependent on Black King Bar.

Going in depth on his Elder Dragon Form, it turns him into one of three differents Dragon Forms (depending on the level), each stronger than the previous, gaining ranged properties, increased base movement speed, splash Cleave causes a melee unit s attacks to deal a portion of its damage in an area in front of it.

These effects can widely vary, from healing, to damaging or even disabling effects. Most of these modifiers have their own rules. For dota2 :

  • Level 1: Becomes a Green Dragon with Corrosive Breath, a modifier which causes your attacks to deal 20 magical damage per second for 4 seconds.
    • Useful for taking down towers, as the damage per second works on them.
  • Level 2: Becomes a Red Dragon with Corrosive Breath and Splash attack damage, applying the poison effect to all enemies hit by the splash damage.
    • Useful for killing crowds of enemies, especially neutral creatures and a large wave of pushing enemy creeps, and for taking down towers, as the damage per second works on them.
  • Level 3: Becomes a Blue Dragon with Corrosive Breath, Splash attack damage and Frost Breath, which slows all enemies units hit directly by hits attacks and units hit by the splash damage.

As you can see, Dragon Knight`s usefulness comes from his Elder Dragon Form, seeing that it gives him too much power, which he doesn`t have while in his human form.

Ability Builds

Both builds requires only one skill point for Dragon Tail, as it scales terribly, and the first level of this ability is extremely useful for the rest of the game.
