Knight Davion - The Dragon Knight

bitchen armor, soooo awesome

Update: the mana cost on elder draogn form is down to 100/150/200 from when i last checked.

Could anyone plzz make a good guide 4 this hero???

one of the best heroes in dota. has everything you need for ownage-an aoe nuke/finisher, regen/armor, a slower/ranged attack, a long stun.

Why don't you try dotaportal or dota-allstars.com? Both sides offer great guides for this knight. I'll suggest rading serado's guide and toronto's giude.

Has anyone think Davion's attack damage is kinda weak. I find him hard time to lv.Agree or disagree?

i think you forgot to put the armor bonus in dragon blood. davion has the highest armor in the game i think. i think he has 2-4-6-8 bonus armor when you level dragon blood. just imagine +8 armor.

THIS is a great hero...... a long stun..... and a fast regen... awesome... nice with vanguard

This hero is almost invulnerable and hard to kill....

this hero good..
armor+hp+splash(dragon form)=invincible!

Ill say unkillable with HoT, Linken and 2 vanguards... Thats my tanking build!!!

almost any hero with HoT, Linken and 2 vanguards, is unkillable dont you think so? -.-" Anyways great hero for noobs to play around with. ; ) Just get anything that slows or stuns. there you go a great hero. ; ) armour bitch. lmAO

i love the ulti! would bashers well with it too? hehe, he would stun everything once he gets to lvl 2 ulti

I go all out armor on him. Satanic, Mekansm, Arcane Ring, Aegis, Blademail, and Treads for a little move/attack speed. At around level 20 it's about 75% dmg reduction.

wat r d bst itemz on this hero???? nd also a good teamm8??

if u go all armour with him, he wouldnt deal any real damage, a buriza or rapier should go in there somewhere if u wana go all armour

HArd to...KILL! with 2vanguard and 2tarrasque.

you fucking freak get a life

They've created a monster

Radiance if you want to kill...

Just want to ask, does "ORB EFFECT" items stack with the level 3 elder dragon's "FROST ATTACK"?? For example, MoM and Satanic...

does his stun stack with cranium basher?

yes

More than a glorified half-dragon and half-knight warrior, Knight Davion should be called King Davion! This guy is very hard to kill when you bought him Satanic and HoT! Elder Dragon Form ruins the days of your opponents! Don't use Tiny's Toss and Goblin Techies' Proximity Mines coz it will do nothing! Very effective against melee heroes since they couldn't reach Knight Davion in Elder Dragon Form unless they have a useful skill! TANK you!

Sven VS Davion, WHO WILL WIN???

insane 1v1 hero

2 hearts + anything else = GG

vanguard... tarasque oh well...

How do u counter banehallow using this hero. he seems to be too slow.

is Davion user friendly?

He has frost attack you know... He could slow down banehallow...

dragon blood also adds armor to davion

alright guys, you might have seen me saying geo was best char. but......... DK IS THE BOMB!!!! just went 8-1 w/ him. had 12000 gold leftover how bout these items still w/ 12000 gold...... 1) PT 2) Radiance 3) Divine 4) S&Y 5) MoM ???

amazing, AMAZING skillz also btw...

the 6th item was a HoT

A great disable with a sheepstick
can stun sheep fire breathe, numberous times.
Has great regen
Has the highest base armor in the game.
Good hp
great with slowing in lvl 3 dragon mode with an sny.

over all kinda imba

i think dragon tail's cooldown should be more because i was playing pudge with all the items i needed, and i was lvl 25 and he stuned me like at least 3 times for 4 secs (3.75 ->4.00)

the best of heros...
the unique with win the terror blade...
I swear proven

Give him all the 3 new items... Ill say UNKILLABLE!!!

What is a good skill build for Davion?

dragon blood should be updated: it now increases armor along with hp regen.(+9 at level 4!!!!!)

One of my faves, he has good total dmge for non-ult nukes, and tail has a long stun. With regen and decent ult, ur pretty well rounded with him. Only played him a few times so I cant post a good build yet but he's definitely good.

items..


one of my favorite hero... before..

Dragon Knight is the best hero in the world. I am writing a strat on him as we speak........

Desolator is USELESS if it is used against this guy...

Do you ever wonder how he came to be? Dragonkin mother and human father? EWWWW

u can hav dragon blood runnin through u like they did in Eragon

my very first hero....
hehehe.....galing talaga....
--------------------
ang buhay ay parang DOTA but i have My Passion...

is it a strategy to keep dragon form at a certain level like if ur versing a low armor hero ud want green for corrosive atk and if ur up against a gank ud want red dragon and if ur against a gank or maybe a high move speed hero ud want blue...... soo i want to know what type of dragon fom do u like best on davion?

Ofcourse the Blue Dragon!!! Slows enemies, has an ms of 350, and also has a splash damage!!! That's why it is on the 3rd level of elder dragon form you know?? It's his ULTI!!! You don't need to keep the level of ur ulti cause the point of having points is that to put it on EVERY skills yo have...

who is the anti dragon knight

obviously the blue dragon is the strongest. obsedian destroyer can kill this hero or bane elemental or faceless void.

@ lupeman

...that was completely off topic.. good job on that.

Anyways.. the great way to go for this guy is like this:
1. BoT
2. Assault Cuirass (TANKS LIKE NO OTHER)
3. Battle Fury (great for farming)
4. Buriza
5. Linken's Sphere
6. If possible.. Heart.

best item build for this hero is power treads, 2 bracers, battle fury, MoM assault cuirass, and a HoT (replace bracer)... if you have money start goin for another heart (replace 2nd bracer)...

BoT and Battle Fury is all you really need... This hero owns.

I played this heroe today for the first time, and he amde such a good job.
I owned with just arcane ring and blade mail. Arcane is a must, buckler good too, blade mail if ur facing many melee hereos. I killed ursa just using that items. Anyway, this guys job is to be the tank and take down towers, dragon form is a hero killer too but.

does his ulti stack with orb effects?

knight davion is veryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy hard, hard as stone ^^ hehehe

after researching which hero is the most effective killa and at the same time easy to play and an overall: kill-tank-nuker-disabler and so on, I found knight davion as best hero in DotA.
In fact, it strongly depends on how good the player uses a hero, but I bet if 2 players with the same skill would fight each other, the one player using knight davion the other random heroes, the knight davion would win most matches!

@fliesnlega:
this hero is not much strong though.. even sven could beat this in 1on1.

F$%K MAN! this guy owns, i beat Centaur Warchief 1v1, had
2 HoTs
Assault Curias
BoT
Buriza.
the regen and armor was ridiculous lol n buriza was jus a nice touch. he got
2 blademails
blink dagger
power treads
still cldnt get away from my blue dragon...scores...8-1...

sven beats any melee hero 1v1 with ulti, cept naix. maybe tiny and faceless void as well.

u pick sven i pick void. ok?

hey can u make a gud build for this hero?

y would u et a buriza??????? he starts off with a slow attack speed....... radience would be much better.

thats why u get him hyperstone for his slow aspd, u only want some aspd so
btw, i dont know why no one got satanic for him, he lifesteals his ulti and satanic is a strength item.

Does battlefury stack with this guys splash attack?

Does battlefury stack with this guys splash attack?

Even though this guy has a godly stun i still find it hard to kill with htis guy due o slow atk spped and a weak normal attack. anybody got any tips?
Thanks alot!!!

Monkey King Bar...
Grants both damage and increased attack speed plus bonus to hit.
Tank .
If something got the right item build, I think he would be able to solo Centuar Warchief.

yeah vipul if right mana cost i remember is 200 at last lvl but no idea about other lvls, he's prob right

This hero is hard to kill if 1 on 1 and your a front liner.. but on 3 on 3 matches this guy is easy to kill..

When I'm using him he has a low damage subdued by the high armor.. but on BF(battle Fury) can solve that problem

i think thishero is way too powerfull and b/c i played a game and my whole team fought him and lost and he didnt have any help so yea

I usually finish the game with just an Arcane Ring, 3x Bracers and a Power Threads. I get SnY, Radiance and HoT if the game drags.

Rush Arcane Ring and Power Threads if you wanna go solo Hero hunting with him.

Spam your Dragon Fire and boom, a business minded tank.

This hero will own you, your mother and your grandmother.

I really have no real tactics with this hero but here's one I've tried the can wipe out an entire team you'll still survive: Arcane, BoT, Heart and Assault Cuirass! Bow down to his superior armor and regen! Tank and Killer in one.

Powertreads
2x bracers
Buriza
Hyperstone
Hot
Last night I did it-it was unstoppable, and later-wicked sick

i like doin that too... granting him even more armour than he already has. i usually give him around 70-80% damage reduction. blademails

pt
2 vanguard
2 hot
divine rapier
ownage time

Best ITEMS for Davion Knight

ITEMS:

1) Boots OF Travel
2) Buriza
3) HOT
4) Vanguard
5) Vanguard
6) Linken

ehehehehe...

This guy is pretty much my favorite one ever
Regen is through the roof and armor is incredible

I don't play him the best but I do recommend you get

1. BoT
2. Battle Furry (farming/regen)
3. Assault Cuirass (more armor/much need attack speed)
4. HoT (Regen.... duh)

Dont really know what to get here but when I do get this far I find either

Refresher Orb (more dragon/slight regen/some damage)
or
Another HoT (you never die)

Kinda the best tank..... ever

this dude is freaking AWESOME haha antidragon knight? u wish =D

Sven does NOT beat Davion. You double your damage, I half it with my armor ^^. And his stun is almost too imba, 2.5 second at level 1. First blood anyone?

satanic
heart
cruiass
travel
battle fury
divine rapier

care for a 6-second double kill?

early build:

Battle Fury
Vanguard
Hood Of Defiance
Power Treads(str)


Late game:

Heart Of Tarrasque
Assualt Curiass
Satanic
Boots Of Travel

you know what iv noticed.. half the ppl's posts here are pretty crap.. because (A) theyr not logical (B) too expensive 2 afford even in a 1 hour hgame unelss ur the worlds best farmer and killer!
whats the point of getting MKB if it neglects ur stun? and houw could u afford buriza, 2 HoTs MKB satanic BoT? sorry 2 say but thats really ludacris! the guy above had reasonable build yea
i suggest something like
satanic
treads
assault
heart
bracer
bracer
thats something reasonable.. not just picking the most expensive items in the game and putting them as a item build for every hero like some ppl iv noticed.. they just say (for every hero) "get buriza, MKB, satanic, heart and butterfly and itl be GG"
wtf?? any hero with that build will become invinciple but i bet u only certain ppl can do that and theyr called pros.. il admit i cant do that so plz dont post anything stupid like suggesting half the lvl 4 shop item builds

Bleh!

Nice ultimate, but i have some questions

How much slow the poison attack of green dragon?

How much slow the frost attack of blue dragon?

I agree with chachingg, ppl always post unrealistic builds. I usually get:

boots of speed
perseverance->battlefury
convert to boots of travel
hyperstone
SnY

and then most games end there. However if the game drags/ there are mass leavers i get butterfly, buriza and convert hyper to assault.
One game every1 left except me versus centaur, i had this build he had 3 HoT, assault, treads, radiance. And i OWNED him. A dps dragon is a rare sight to behold. i rarely tank.

give DK butterfly and satanic... it will be hard to kill him but easy for him to kill.

Dont give him satanic, from my experience it seems to interfere with the frost attack of his ulti, same goes for desolator, and the frost attack is what makes him imba. SnY is the only orb i'd recommend, since that slows too and the extra move speed means no-one can run.

vanguard, radiance will be nice for the min time.

glaring hero ;D

My Item Build:
Power Treads(str)
Sange&Yasha
Battle Fury
Butterfly
Satanic
Buriza

yeah this hero has a giga armor

just buy a vanguard and you are a mega-tank

This is a guide for new gamers
item build for this hero

PT
vanguard
BF
HOT
Satanic
MKB or BKB

Gr8 hero to try new things with but heres the set guide:

*Treads

*Bracers x2

*Vanguard First then

*HoT

*Linkens (a must because of mana pool and can't be killed lol.(we'll he can)

*Then go for Blade Mail (this item is the bomb! (literally for your opponents)
*Get this earlier for dominance

omg knight davion is my favorite in the whole of the sentinel and game but i am also looking for a good scourge character.

You should equip Davion with this kinda stuff
1.power treads
2.battle fury
3.satanic
4.assault cuirass
5.butterfly
6.buriza do kyanon or an other assault cuirass if possible
And if you don't think you can get that much money... well you can cuz one game i had
1.power treads
2.battle fury
3.satanic
4.assault cuirass
5.assault cuirass
6.buriza do kyanon
and 6000 gold left at the end of the game

Davion is a great tank get him a vanguard and he will be invincible to creeps get AC and some other stuff that gives you good damage he can kill anyone in dragon form

Answer for lupeman 61. topic

It is not possible. When you buy a diffusual blade, and cast purge when sven uses his ulti, it cleares his ulti. Purge is Anti-buff. And Medusa has it too. So Sven can beateble easily.

My build:
Bracer
Bracer
Powertreads
Radiance
Satanic
Assault Cuirass

hmmm... all of you are noobie...



ahhahha,,,


items build,,,

If you use manta while in dragon form will u get 2 more dragons or go back to normal?

guys what if u add Hood to his build???IMBA REGEN.

i think amplify dmg +Cuirass+desolator
=useless S.O.A.B i think alardar will be uselss for him?

you have 2posibilitys with this hero i think:
-armor
-hp regen
first item must be perverserance i think

skill build up is so ugly.. i donk think that its a great build up.. jUst change its to weird...

che=ange your skill build plss.. its to ugly...

s-y, tarrasque, radiance, vladimir blademail and battlefury or manta.. goo 4 dis hero

dragon knight can b a gr8 killer/nuker by dis build:
linken sphere
mask of madness
HoT
radiance
PT of BoT
assailt cuirass

i use dis build and i got a bgl(beyond god-like) against razor,slayer,treant protector,bounty hunter

could someone plz tell me witch hero could kill dragon knight in 1vs1 mode ???

Once DK get assault = almost undefeatable ^_^

i think his attackspeed is not so good yesterday when i plaied him he stricks once does his sword back and stricks twice...unbelivable...
i think u have to buy cuirass or/and battelfury or/and venguard...

a nize game is dragon knight vs sven this game makes much fun!!!

Items for DK
-Power Threads
-HoT
-Vanguard
-Assault Cuirass
-Fury (for mana regen & Damage)
If your not contented with the speed..get S&Y.

Note: If you have Cuirass and you are at level 3 ElderDragon your opponent will receive continous frost attact due to high speed breathing...

get radiance for faster farming....and if you see a bunch of low hp creeps use breath fire n them

Arcane ring
PT
Hyperstone
Helm of Dominator
Crystalis

-----
Upgrade Hyperstone to Cuirass
Game is over....
If needed
Helm to Satanic
Crystalis to Buriza

satanic,travel,heart,rediance
slow + life steal= GG^^
life is the best ^^

Satanic, Assault curaiss, BoT, HoT, Radiance, Buriza

whats a good tank build..? for davion..?

Armlet of Mordiggan would be great for him as it boosts strength, attack speed and its HP deduction is off set by Ddavion's hp regeneration.

My first and fav hero. Hehe. amazing really.

I play him using the ff items:

HoT, BoT, Yasha, Buriza, assualt, satanic/butterfly..

maximized attack and movement speed combined with a frost attack and high damage no hero had a chance to escape. Well, most of the time I play him. Hehe.

just my thought,

i don't think Fury fits DK much. It is only good when he is not in his dragon form since his lvl 2 and lvl 3 dragon has splash damage already. The splash damage the fury has won't be needed in his dragon form. You can just skip fury and put another item that can boost his attack dmg, health or armor..

well just my thought

try an agilty Davion it really owns ! 2 wraith bands, Travel, SnY, Butterfly, assault, and then substite wraith for heart of T... that ice dragon will own so much: maim+ slow of lv 16 dragon really fun

this is one of the super hero in dota
this hero is unstoppable...early to late
ill start my guide. . .
max out 3skill and 2 skill but make sure to learn the ss too...then learn fire for farming or killing
build
treads(str)or(int)f mana needed
bfury
sny
cuirass
(optional)
lifesteal
linkens
i can own a 5v1 match wen im using davion juz dont include to many stunner enemy

Who can't.. One to the BEST solo heroes in DOTA.. He has stun, slow and movement speed & that's all u nid to own in late game.. Armor build suits him well against CRAZY dps heroes tat will do shyt dmg to him.. He's armour is really too tough!

Can someone tell pls if EoS stacks iwht his frost attack from Dragon Form ?

I mean...when i hit an enemy hero he will be slowed with my frost break wfrom dragon...but if i have EoS with be even MORE slower no ?pls help
