My dragon knight strategy guide

This will start out small and I may or may not keeping adding to it depending on what comes from this...(Just want to say that I feel like dragon knight is one if not the most critical hero in the game and needs to be played optimally)

Starting Items/ Skills:

Wand, Ring of Protection, 3 x Branches, Mana Pot

1 in dragon blood, 1 in fire breath, 1 in dragon blood

Quickly grab life regen ring on to boots of speed to get tranquility boots

Focus on building up dragon blood initially but at level 6 and 7 finish out fire breath.

During this period you should buy the wand recipe in stash and follow up by building up a soul ring in stash, at this point you have Tranquility boots, Upgraded Wand, Shield and soul ring in stash.

Once you have all 4 of these items You want to occupy the last two slots with a bracer and blades of attack which you quickly put together and purchase in your stash... These items will be for drum of endurance and crystalis later.


The goal is to reach this point of a full inventory of these 6 items before going out on your hog wild offense harassment fest with mass consecutive Spams of dragon fire and stun (might put 1 in to stun before maxing out dragon blood)

And that's it.. if you reached the point of being maxed out on those items before going on your harassment/stun raid, (making sure you don't die up to this point) then you basically played the best you can play at the first interval of play.

Might be able to write up how to progress to the 2nd interval later....

As far as bracer and blades of attack for the last two slots though, I guess you might want to decide if you want to build an urn in stash or not.... If so, then last slot might used for a Javalyn in to Basher...

Not much of a carry feel, I know, but he might start out more supporting then carry.

You build too much early game.A drum, wand and the boots are more than enough for the early stage of the game.

I'd also recommend getting a point in the stun, since it helps a lot with killing in early game( longest stun at level one).

A build that actually is viable and works properly.Little Kyfoid growing up.

You missed a BKB though and dragon blood gives enough regen that a bottle+ treads is better than tranquils.You also skipped getting the ulti at 6.

I don't understand why no Dagon was mentioned in this build. As Dragon Knight how will you be able to secure a kill if you do not purchase a Dagon ?

Shadow Blade is also a key item on Dragon Knight. I just don't understand why you would not pick up those items on him...


#kill secured

I'm surprised the Blades of Attack is used to make Crystalis instead of the typical second boots. +.5

Some improvements were made, and more can be made.

My philosophy is to use up your money as quickly as possible to progress with ring of regen oriented items in stash, and then end with the last slot used for something godly, such as an item from the secret shop in to something great, or a crystalis in to daedius.

Rings of regen just work good because they are cheaper then blades and are capable of being made in to a number of different items.

Blades go 3 ways, so 3 blades in stash purchased asap after the rings in order to build up in to any and all of the 3 items that they are built in to would be ideal.


I just wanted to point out how there are points of time in the game that are key for when it would be ideal to go out and be aggressive and such.

A good Dragon Knight player with a good support don't need a Dagon. Why the heck does DK wants Dagon anyway? He's mana pool is barely able to sustain his Q and W.

Since Kyfoid says he wants to spam Q and W, that makes Dagon an even worst choice.
