Knight Dragon: game guide

Knight Dragon, the guide on which we present today, is one of those heroes who practically has not undergone changes. Having learned to play for it, you are unlikely to be able to “drag the rinks” and climb the ladder with a win rate of 80%, but then learn most of the basics on managing close and long range heroes, timing skills, and timely control of enemy characters.

Specifications

Let's start with basic knowledge on the hero of Dragon Knight. A game guide should begin with an explanation of the basic characteristics and consequences that this will lead to. So, the Dragon Knight is a power hero. This means that he receives the main gain to the basic attack from this attribute. In addition, when assembling a character at least in Kerry, at least in a tank, he will receive a good bonus to a combined role.

Dexterity could be useful to the hero, but its growth is small. It’s much more efficient to buy the same Assault Cuirass, which increases both tank potential and attack speed, than trying to make agility effective.

The intelligence of the Dragon Knight leaves much to be desired. At the first levels, you will constantly lack mana, but you should not get carried away with its pumping. In most cases, Ring of Basilius is a good starting purchase. The ring will give damage for finishing creeps, mana regeneration and some armor. The remaining nuances of such a solution will be considered a bit later.

Abilities

Another knowledge you need when playing for any character is his skill set. No exception and Dragon Knight. The guide (Dota 2) for the new character after all the updates, in particular 6.87, will be slightly different from what the typical "old school cheater" is used to.

1. Fiery breath. Deals 90/170/240/300 magic damage in a cone in front of itself. Reduces the outgoing damage of enemies by 35%. The main feature of the skill is its speed. The cast passes almost instantly, so dodging or running away will not work. Damage is inflicted even to the hero of Puck, because he does not have time to "encrypt".
2. Dragon tail. Spot mill. Deals 25/50/75/100 damage and stuns the target for 2.5 / 2.75 / 3 / 3.25 seconds. Range of application - melee attack. After using the ults (in the form of a dragon), the distance increases to 400 units. Pumping is only one level. The increase in camp time will not play a big role, damage also increases by a small amount. It is much more profitable to take a passive or a nuke.
3. Dragon blood. Passive skill that increases armor and health regeneration by 3/6/9/12 units. It is thanks to him that we offer Ring of Basilius in the initial purchase. Even with the first skill level, you will receive a bonus that allows you to confidently stand on line without Tango. And having bought a ring, you will save on bottles of mana.
4. The shape of an ancient dragon. Ulta is terribly simple. The player will not need any extra skills to use it. The knight turns into a dragon and receives a ranged attack (500). At level 1, auto-attacks begin to poison the target, dealing 20 damage per second for 5 seconds. At level 2, the hero receives a splash attack of 300 units with a bonus of 100% near the main target and up to 50% at the edges. At the last pumping, the dragon reduces the speed of movement and attack of opponents. All three attack modifiers accumulate and are not unique, which allows stacking them with orb effects, which, unfortunately, do not apply to splash.

That's all Dragon Knight can do. Hyde ("Dota 2") will take into account all the latest changes in the character's mechanic. So now you can safely forget about "perversions" when pumping the ults was postponed to level 15 in order to preserve the poisonous breath and haras of the towers.

Features

Possessing all the characteristics and skills that our guide has provided, Dragon Knight (Dota 2), in fact, itself reveals its strengths and weaknesses to the player. What is worth noting from the advantages of the hero?

• High growth of important basic characteristics (strength and dexterity).
• Good last-hit at the entry level.
• High rates of health regeneration and armor without items.
• Good nuke.
• Excellent leit potential (ulta already includes the effects of many orbs).

But even the best characters have vulnerabilities and weaknesses.

• Little mana in the initial stages.
• Low attack speed.
• Slow speed of movement.
• The lack of escape.
• Heavily dependent on items (optional).

Forest

Despite the fact that the main location of the hero of Dragon Knight is a battlefield, the guide also includes instructions on how to make good money on a forest farm. We mentioned a little higher that exactingness to objects is one of the weaknesses of the hero. However, there is a way in which, even having poorly defended your line, you can not sit on the gold in the late.

After collecting the starting items, your task is to accumulate on the "dominator". With him, go to your forest and subdue any "thick" creep. Now, with its help, at every 50 seconds you can take the ancient forest creeps from their camp and thereby accumulate a whole horde of monsters on it. At level 11, when you receive a splash from the Dragon Knight ult, the guide (Dota 2) on which you read is able to independently kill almost any bunch of creeps that have accumulated on the respawn. This will give a good impetus to the purchase of expensive leit items.

Leveling

There are several basic ways to learn the skills of the hero Knight Dragon. Hyde recommends using the first of them for most situations, but if you wish, you can change the order as you wish, but only after level 4 and obtaining all the basic skills.

The first thing you need to understand is that the ultimate is taken as it appears on levels 6, 11, and 16. We have already mentioned that the passive part of this skill has been changed, so now there is no point in delaying the improvement process.

The second important rule is that the camp of the entire first level is enough. The increase in damage and for a long time is too insignificant, but mana begins to fly away much faster. Also do not forget that you do not have an escape. So, in fact, this skill is the only thing that can save your life in a critical situation. Pump "Dragon Tail" on the first or second level of the character and forget.

Nyuk ("Fire Breath") is your damage, your life and your money. Maxed first, regardless of the state of affairs on the line. With it, you can finish off creeps if you are driven under a tower, or, conversely, harass a weak enemy.

Passivation and "pluses" are the most controversial options for pumping. With them you must act on the situation.

1. If a champion with a powerful long-range attack has come across you, then you will quickly be driven under the tower. What remains to do the hero of Knight Dragon? Hyde recommends standing and not leaning out and simply pouring fire on suitable creeps. Here you will need a Soul Ring to replenish mana. To reduce losses, after a nuke it makes sense to pump exactly the passive.
2. If everything works out well on-line and you crush the enemy, then you can shake the "pluses" after the nuke. So to level 15 you will receive about 10 units for each statue. Not bad, is it?

Starting purchase

Thanks to his passive skills, the hero becomes very flexible. Knight Dragon Guide recommends collecting usually in Kerry. In this case, we get not only a good damage, but also a good tank. However, he suffers magic damage all the same badly.

You can start the game in different ways. We have already figured out that with a passive game of your opponent you can prepare a platform for Soul Ring or Basilius. However, it is not always possible to predict your future opponent online. Therefore, the best option would be to increase the starting stats.

Be sure to take Tango. Further options are possible.

• You can take the base for Bracer in the form of Circlet and Gauntlets of strenght. In addition to them, a bottle of mana is required.
• Also a good option would be to prepare for Magic Wand. Take Iron Branch and Circlet. In addition to them, Stout Shield or Quelling Blade are well suited. It is better, of course, to take an hatchet, and increase the protection due to passivation. But everything is up to you.
• Meader can do with a couple of “sticks” to save money on a future bottle. Just don’t take it first. Extra stats will be much more useful to you.
• Separately consider buying Inused Raindrop. Drops will help you to defend well against a character with frequent magic attacks.

Final purchase

Remember that any MOBA game is very situational, and focusing on what is written in the guide is very stupid. Knight Dragon, the guide you are viewing, has a huge number of different assemblies, which are simply not enough time to describe. Therefore, we will provide some tips. Please note that the purchase is conditionally "final". There will be very inexpensive items and top-end ones.

• Boot. "Crutch" fits perfectly. Keep it strong and switch to Intu if you need to finish off the fleeing enemy. With a good farm, you can collect "lassos" to later combine with the "mecca" in the Guardian Greaves.
• "Armlet". Bonus damage and strength. When assembling an orb to steal life is mandatory.
• “Lothar” makes sense to buy when playing on the mid and free farm. With gank, it will allow you to approach the distance of the mill. By the end of the game, it is no longer relevant even with an upgrade.
• "BKB" according to the situation. Not in every game it will bring maximum benefit. And against magicians, you may not always be able to correctly implement it.
• Cristalis will give crit on the area. Over time, you can go up in the Daedalus. With a good teamplay in the "Bloodthorn".
• "Satanic" or "Tarasca" depending on the role.
• Mjolnir.

Meder

Remember that when playing on the center line, your task is not only to farm a lot of gold, but also to help teammates. The main advantage of Dragon Knight in its 2.5-second camp. So you can gank up to level 6. The main thing is to buy Lothar, or at least shoes.

If the enemy team does not substitute and plays accurately, it is best to forget about the ganks and focus on the farm. If you are sure that the enemy leader has left, then immediately turn on the ult and try to demolish the enemy tower as much health as possible. Do not forget that your "corrosive breathing" even affects the construction of the enemy.

Kerry

Choosing this role means that you will not collect items for the early stage of the game. Try to get as little active and farm creeps as possible. If the enemy is substituted, then take it.

Of course, this does not mean that you must forget about the team before 30 minutes. The ideal moment to switch to teamfights is about 15-20 minutes. At this point, you should already have farm enough gold to buy basic items.

Hardline

What can our guide (Dota) say about this? Dragon Knight is not intended for this role. If you still had to stand in this position, then the main task is to survive. With gank, you are unlikely to be able to kill an enemy before your own death, and even more so you will not be able to escape.

But there are still pluses in this situation. And the main one is the possibility of gank. Are you clamped under the tower? Excellent! Pretend that you go to the base, and you’ll gank mid. Did rune fall on inviz? Take and gank mid. Also do not forget to use the ult. It is great for farming creeps.

Perhaps this is all that can tell about the hero of Dragon Knight guide. The "kingdom of the constellation", filled with dead heroes of the enemy after the battle with this hero, better than any guide demonstrates the strength of this character, collected taking into account all the features of the current match.
