Dragon Knight Offlane

Key Strategy

Key strategic elements to consider when playing Dragon Knight

• Dragon Knight trades well in lane with his Corrosive dragon facet as it does damage per second and reduces armor. Look to use that to pressure the enemy melee heroes.
• Try to use Breathe Fire to secure creeps during the laning stage, especially the enemy ranged creep. Best to use it in line with the enemy hero when securing creeps to also reduce their right clicking damage
• Dragon Knight is great at taking buildings down early due to the Corrosive Breath facet amplified during dragon form with bonus right click damage added. Look to push towers when your ultimate is available.
• Once you get Blink Dagger, try to make use of it immediately before the opponents see it in your inventory.
• Make sure you have allies nearby when you initiate with blink early on. Dragon Knight doesn`t do much burst damage until later on into the game.
• Avoid fighting while Dragon Form is on cooldown. Push out lanes or play defensively.
• Break effects and healing reductions are a big problem for Dragon Knight. Itemize against those.
