Dragon Knight

No attack methods? and blademail is a key item? Better review your strategy man.

Wtf kind of strat is this? And btw i don't think you could of taken on 3 Rapiers...

It needs improvement. The item build is too expensive.

Eh? Playing against AI much? In the real world, the game would already be over before you complete Aegis, if you went for Skadi first, which is the way to go.

change ur battle fury to a linken sphere and add sange and yasha(i hate it's atack speed that's why).... just try

Ok thanks for comments. If i wrote another guide I would put attack methods in and think more about the item build. Oh 3 rapiers it did happen...

YOU DONT NEED BLADE MAIL
What you need is Mask of Madness
coz its elder dragon form can dmg alot,slow and splash so........YOU NEED TO INCREASE ITS ASPD

AND DON'T PLAY IT AI

PLAY REAL AND FEEL WAT IS IT LIKE TO BE GODLIKE!!!!!!

Err.. Avoid posting in all caps.

I think I know now about the blademail people. And this guide wasn't me playing AI So yes I would change Blade mail to another item, and get skadi before aegis. Hmm battlefury is usful on the dragon knight but then again linken is too, so I may change Vanguard for it.

yea need to post attack methods...maybe for davion..

(First wait till your opponent is harrasing your tower,after that ambush him dragon tail then immidaitely dragon form and turn on MoM then wack wack wack sure kill on intel and agi heros maybe not for str heros with high health.....)

maybe you could write something like that...just suggesting...

forgot to put S&J in the item build oops. Well im not editing any more i edited a couple of things and it took week to come back up

Vanguard is good with 2x blade mail and treads at early game ^_^

you should put another tarrasque on him because knight davion in ulti form does not cleave

You've been playing for a month? I've been playing for more than a year. You should accquire more experience before building a strategy.

Breathe fire may not do much physical damage against AI opponents. But using it on HUMAN players can be extremely darn annoying to them especially if you have perserverance and keep blasting them with fire. Try it.

Sgt/H-K is right, breath really hurts, get desolator instead of battlefury. Youll be a killing sphere in no time.

thats not to great...for early game ur breathe fire is essential..combined wif a radiance, your money jst keeps on coming..one month of playing isnt enuf..play gainst proper ppl hu KNOW how to play

Reffering to your late game section. S&Y and Mask of madness dont stack, there orb effects. Lifesteal overrides Main so there will be no maiming . Id go for mkb or bkb verses S&Y. other than that nice guide .


As for your comment Warrior-101. again Mask of madness is a orb effect and will override Skadi .

no reali tht gud man. breath of fire isnt great?? OMG it is useful for farming.

ERr..whres the attack methods???need to inprove on it.

nice strategy

I completely redone stratey. Everything has changed.

man, this needs work, WHERE IS THE MASK OF MADNESS OR RING OF REGEN

Why have a ring of regen when you gave a dragon blood. Sure its not as much regen as the ring, but it will do, if you can see I have put battle-fury as a key item, this increases regen. And as for you mom, if you desperatly want this, do so, ut I prefer S&J.

Sorry for double post... but if you finish the game with the item build i suggested... dragon blood maxed out will give you 20hp/sec regeneration!!

panget

Well, i've been playing as this knight guy & really he's one of the best in pushing, farming & destroying tower early (with dragon form), hero killing. & just to suggest, an item build consisting of ring of basilius, power treads, S&Y, hyperstone. (this 4 as an initial build is cheap & really helps. Prolonged game should be added by (change of basilius to vladimir's offering, HoT, Butterfly, Aegis) This guy has one of the highest armor, so with aegis makes him withstand strong attacks, thus hard to kill. IN new versions, his dragon blood also has increased armor. Good ability to focus on too.

in a 5v5 game you cant get this item... why? hell NO!! look at the price your items are hard to get and really expensive... i think this guid is for 1v1 or 2v2 games only but 3v3,4v4,5v5 big NO NO NO

like the item build and the bashers.... even though he can already stun, his ulti would be stun everything, u should put a powertreads in their becos it will increase the chance of gettin a stun with the bashers a lot.

Why put guinsoo last on ur item list? For me it is definetly my first(next to 2 ring of regen or ring of health) bcoz in early game you will need mana for harassing the enemy with breath of fire, and dragon tail. By the time you already have euls, ur a certified hero killer by now. Why? Simple 1.Find any low life or agi hero, hit him w/ breath of fire, stun, attack. 2.If still alive, cyclone (by this time ur dragon tail has already cooled down) stun again, and then breath of fire (this time he will surely be dead) . Later items are up to you. But for me i usually get S and Y for added speed and HoT for HP. Again later items is up to you.

I'm not a huge fan of bashers with davion, and I think satanic is a MUST with him.

your build is just for noobs...
try to improve the items and the skill build ... see yah. LOSER...

damn dude. how did this even get approved

like hellooo.... why the hell did this strat get approved like you can see it sucks. Get armor items like platemail then get a heart. Once your armor is maxed out, your dmg reduction becomes at least 67%. That will be a big help later on. BoT early on is quite good. And why bashers? your stun is quite good enough. I really can't stand people who make fun of really good heroes.

2x bash??????

i dont like this form...
i usualy use the battlefury fist...
before tarrask and the finsh is tarrask and monkey king...
or radiance...

Just as the others say.....

Improve the guide, especially the tactics, and PLAY MOAR before you create a guide....

wtf is this peice of crap?

good guide

I haven't seen the old version, but THIS strategy is very well don

wow dragon boy

wat u shuld do is add santanic so u can lifesteal andheal alot at da same time.

This is a good hero in all cases and its so powerfull because the elder dragon form at this he becomes invencible

lol? no treads??

Ummm wait...2 bashers means aiming for permastun, yet nowhere in your build are any items adding aspd used, not even treads?! your bashers are worthless without at least treads if not a hyperstone or cuirass. Bracer's are unnecesary, with a perseverance you will get enough mana and health regen to solve all of the problems that these insuffiently do

Bashers with not much atk speed??

Bashers with not much atk speed??

Hum... i didn't like that strategy, i Think if u Buy 2 Vanguard, 1 Tarrasque heart, power treads, Basilisk ring. U Finish the game invictory! The regeneration of Davion is the Key! Cya

battle fury is nice..! i don't like the basher and the guinsoo though.. change it to radiance and cuirass.. he needs damage and attackspeed..

y use guinsoo??? y not blink dagger or lothars or something cheaper??? better upgrade this

Get peseverence during early for spamming one level of elderly dragon form is enough as it does wonders with towers only upgrade at level 15 ^^ hmm... i usualy go

BoT
Battlefury
SnY
2 HoT
Radiance

Dont really like bashers seldom gives stunn as you dont really have high dps

wow ! this character rocccks but it's little hard to play with it

y the fck would u get bashers........davion's attack speed blows.......the bash would be useless.....might as well get another Hot or a curaiss or even a radience.

WTF your item build seems very expensive what kind of farmer are you?!

Uh what the hell is he holding two bashers for? He has no bash skill to be complimented. Id rather(thank God nobody is stupid to do) give 2 bashers to Kardel Sharpeye. And putting gunisoo? this is an unorthodox build and doesnt do much to compliment this hero at all. You could better items instead of guinsoo. More useful ones.

GSoV is pretty stupid to have... don't want to flame too bad though cause you tried. knight davion is aweomse

Hmmm, i think that in an item slot of a hero, there should be Power Thread or Boots of Travel in there, so i think that you might wanna take one of the items out and add it in, this is because it helps you chase enemy hero. Or you could use it to escape.

For dragon knight, i think guinsoo is unneccesary because it gives you hex but dragon knight doesn't really need it, because of the cold atk of the blue dragon and the dragon tail, you should be able to kill an enemy hero without guinsoo. So instead of buying that, spend money on other thing else!

Buddy i like that a good network of items

umm... hmm. IMO i dont think u need SnY cuz u already have bashers. what more can u ask for?

my build is 2 vanguards and 2 HOT... and i max out dragon blood ASAP then breathe of fire.at lvl 25 you will have 20 base armor + the bonus armor..

The bashers are good with hyperstone and treads.

its so-so

ehem..! poor davion.. using bashers.. and the skill build is incorrect.. the ultimate must be in 14-16 only..

KD is my 1st hero. he doesnt need bashers since he can do Dragon Tail for stun. plus, u are more faster and range attacker in Elder Dragon Form. one of an easy hero in DotA.
My common strat-
Attack-Attack-Dragon Tail-Transform to Elder Dragon Form-chase n fire the enemy(in case he trying to run)-Dragon Tail-Attack-Breathe Fire---- Dead!!!!

Try to take into consideration that Knight Davion - The Dragon Knight doesn,t rely all on strength. Speed is also a major part of his attack and defense methods. Althoug his attacks are powerful his delay is terrible. Anyways this guide is basically a very expensive way of gaining brute strength using overpriced items. 2 Words. Divine Rapier +250 Damage

my item build: treads, bracer, vanguard, assault cuirass, HoT,S and Y

nice

I think a good build will be: boots of travel(movement speed), tarrasque(hp and damage), battle fury(damage and passive), desolator(damage and passive), hyperstone(atack speed)and another tarrasque(hp and damage). Expensive but you would be inmortal.

wewe,, at least youve helped i really realy want to learn how to use davion effeciently,,, and ur strat is a good one to start with,,, well i learned a lot,, but not that much,,, i really dislike ur skill build becoz its quite confusing,, like youve maxed those skills without having that great mana pool,, and ur way of battling is quite careless,,, i mean,, if ur facing up with two heroes,, then u should plan and not run,,, wewe,,, but ur strategy is good,,, at least just like wat ive said,,, it a freat help for me who is great but is really quite afraid of trying new heroes,,, just a commercial,,, i like my build like,,, ahhhmmm,, i mean my skill build,,,, a skill,, then stats,,, for me akill will depend on how u spam it,, right??????

This strat sux:



My item build:
-Battlefury
-Radiance
-Satanic
-Assault
-BoT
-hEART

u ppl sayin to get deso, its pointless to get it since youll never slow in r3 dragon form.

usually i bought 4 vanguard for regen hit points

great!!!
cool!!!

Ty ur strat worked rly good as i played him for the 1st time. The only thing i would change is getting ring of rege instead of skilling dragon blood wich makes ur nuke/stun weaker in early and u rly need them to get early kills.And another thing is that i would get some more attack speed before the bashers, 4 example s&y first or maybe mkb wich is great 2 imo. Anyway this strat was a rearly n1 inspiration wich is the best thing a guide can do for me.GJ

early game...
bracer
bracer
bracer
power treads
vanguard
hyperstone

late game items...
vanguard
heart of tarrasque
power treads
radiance
buriza do-kyanon
assault cuirass

with vanguard + heart of tarrasque + dragon blood (passive skill) = the TANK

Err,why guinsoo?
Not good,5/10

Dragon Knight is my best/favourite
I did a triple kill with it once and had nearly 27 kills!!!!!

stupid guide, noooooooooobbbbbbbb!

LOL u tink dragon knight is faceless void?bashers?i tink u shud get bashed. treads SnY assault cuirass heart buriza

I like the items suggested in post #81, but my change is this:

early game...
bracer
bracer
power treads (with belt of strength)
Ring of Basilus
OPTIONALS*

* Optional: bottle, RoH, stout sheld, etc.

MID GAME:
bracer
power treads
sange & yasha
Ring of Basilus
hyperstone
OPTIONALS (vanguard, perseverance, hood of defiance, Mystic Staff!! or whatever you need)

late game items...
power treads (or change to BoT)
sange & yasha
buriza do-kanyon
assault cuirass
heart of tarrasque
OPTIONALS (linken, HoT, BKB, Armlet of Mordiggian!, etc.) I often use Shiva`s Guard to spam spells, if no other has it.

I forgot to add in #89 that Shiva`s Guard is in case you are tank and go against melees.

In pvp servers, if you got money from quiters and killed roshan, you can farm for this:

Aegis (anyone can have another chance)
Rapier
dagger of escape (to save your ass)
HoT
assault cuirass
power treads or BoT (in case you have to control whole the map)

Lets just make it obvious and say that well this trategie is ok or pretty good if u can afford all of the items (dual bashers is kinda steep) but its good that u focused on strength but u also need atack speed (personely i lik having some mana regen) But most of all the dragon form at any level is the greatest pushing tecnique i think i have ever played with

over all 7 out of ten nj

what do u need for faster attack speed

assault cuirass lah

nice one

I usually just aim heart early game, then MKB then heart, then MKB. This build rocks!

my item build

early game:
boots of speed
bracer
ring of basilius

mid game:
vanguard
arcane ring

late game :
heart of tarasque
sangeyasha
radiance

Why Basher he is not attack type hero
he is a tanker and pusher

i like getting the fire breath like at lvl 2 cuz if you have enough mana, then you can really piss them off, by always hitting them with the fire and once there weak enough go in for the kill

lol. you are one loaded player. something tells me you play solo? seems like you type -gold $$$$ often...

it's not the way i play dragon knight, basher is useless on him coz dragon tail is CD fast and also when your in a dragon form a blue one you are unstoppable. Just go for a heart2x, radiance , cuirass..
but that was a nice strat anyways..

Ummm item build is really weird, get HoT, assault and MKB and threads

Noobs..
My Build:

First: Blade Mail and Vanguard + P.t
Then: Battle Fury, Heart, and Satanic

I'd go for
1. Power treads str
2. Heart
3. Assult cuiras
4. Sanga and yasha
5. Battle fury
6. Another heart or Aye of Skadi

no attack??haha

ummm dont like me

quite good hero

sad strat

Try a blink dagger. You definitely need to write on how to hero kill. Like... wtf? How's he "one of the best heroes in dota" if you don't write on how to kill? Anyway, blink dagger to escape and to go in for the kill. Not much point in S&Y if you're getting 2 bashers. I don't see the need in a battle fury either. What knight davion needs is maybe an assault cuirass instead of all your expensive items. And he definitely needs BoT. There's no way you can survive even if you stunned your enemies. A speed of 290 can't do anything to Dark seer, barathrum or balanar which has haste. And even a constant one, in terms of Balanar

auz yah

i get pt, vanguard x2, hyperstone, deso

Tell y'all somehthing good! When you maxed out the DK's ulti and you have MoM, what do you get >>> Confirmed plus guranteed KILL!! Forst attack will slow you, so add MoM then your atk speed inreases then your target will be left standing there trying to escape. Even if he tries to escape, your movement speed is too fast, unless he can reach max speed then, good luck catching, but remember the FROST ATTACK!!

wata strategy thanks...

I think u might need to revise ur items here a bit makes me sad just looking at it

UR HORRIBLE

treads (early game)
changed to BOT late game
2 bashers
1 sny
1 battle furry
1 HoT

GG

2 bashers? No way! He is a tank and pushing hero, he doesn't need the extra stun (he already have dragon tail). SnY is ok, but I prefer deso or EoS. Try get vanguard in the early-mid game, then you have no fear of pushing or getting ganked. Battlefury is nice, the extra hp reg and attack damage can make him more fearsome. Definitely get one or more HoT, nice addition to your hp. Overall I would give your guide a 5/10.

lol wtf... failed

your skill build sux big time.. dragon blood 1st? then dragon tail? wtf!

if i wer u i'll gonna choose the red dragon.. and the items are too expensive.. my build is: 2vg, sY, vladi, radiance, cuirass or HoT

youre so dumb why wouldyou use guinsoo and basher to davion fuk this strategy this is one ofthe worst that i have read!!!!!!!!11

guinsoo is not necessary for davion when you have 2 bashers, and it is very hard at mid game to buy 2 bashers in real game. also sange&yasha is not good for davion cuz of slow attack speed, you can buy assault after 2 bashers;)

and i also prefers items that give nice armor so you can have about 35-40 armor and that is very good for a hero:D

str sure is important, but speed is better, you can handle damage given by enemies, but not too long. so al BoT si key! besides it lets you tank as team player. furtheron i think a MKB is good, not expensive, great damage boost and IAS boost! make him into a tank with HoT or Bloodstone, HoT pref, you dont need the mana. no disable needed, you have 1 of the best disables there is: bash 3.25 sec. and if going for orb, go for frost, adds to ulti.

on my comment you should change the 2 bashers for mkb and boots of travel and i also think that you should change the guinsoo into another taras or butterfly...

If you replace your battle fury with cuirass and guinsoo with travel boots it can be very good guide. 7/10

PSOFA

his last dragon form can slow.put satanic ^^ it stacks more life steal when slowed then basher.so all in all satanic,basher,threads,then just fill him up with helm of iron will = GG ^^

great hero..............
and elder dragon is EXTREMLY GREAT

i think power treads, bracer, heart of tarasque and eye of skadi make it easy to kill

UMMMMMMM...........WAT CAN KILL THIS GUY EXCEPT AXE?!?!?!?!?!?

i think it needs improvement, where is
the aspd...?

you just should change those 2 bash to EoS

That is Good comment but why you stack scythe of vyse for mana maybe? 8/10

WTF 2 bashers??? he doesnt has good attack speed i mean.... its good for trollwarlord but for davion i would go for a 2 vanguard than 2 bashers

why would you use guinsoo for davion, it such a big waste of gold and space for another equipment. just use weapon or item that would add str as well as damage or increase his aspd. that would certainly be a good build for him.

U suck men!

wtf try selling ur 1 basher to BoT?
i rather replace the two bashers to cuirass and threads or BoT
YEP on your conclusion really tells that this strat really sucks even u have changed it, try to play more dota before making a strat ur wasting ur time making this strat

me play no need sny la... haizz...

remove bashers and add a heart and a power tread or boots of travel...
u can replace the guinsoo with buriza or radiance and maybe a assault curaiss // hyperstone

rofl dude basher...then wats frost attack and stun for? -- ty for the god guide anyway

super great and good~

oh ya can you guys tell me what he said when you click him?

oh ya can you guys tell me what he said when you click him?

super great and good~

If you are not in dragon form.Lightning reverant will be very painfull!!!
What will i do?

go die la this sucks

Dude why the fuck do u get bashers for this ddue it is a waste of money it gives very low damage and 20 opercent stun and hje has no attack speed? You should replace the bashers with a currias and a b fly then You cannot die you will have a bout 30 arnmour and 30% evasion and attack speed ....

What?
Basher?
lol

that is unique

battle fury is not needed for EDF have splash acttack at lv 11 . by the time you have enough to BF you should have ulti lv 2

man davion without assult is weird!!!! his armor combined with assult and his aspd.......!!!also the aura that cut your oponnets armor is great

if you're playing 1 on 1, it's best to go for a yasha and boots first. complete your S&Y asap then go for a battle fury. in case if you're low on health a heart of tarrasque would be a great item to have on hand. next farm either for a hyperstone or get a assault cuirass. my recommendation is that get an assault because it adds speed, armor and lowers enemy's armor points.with this build your mana would be full by the time your dragon form expires.

this is the worst fucking strategy in dota history.

omfg man u fuckin suck.
put a bit of effort into it in stead of a fuck around strat

2 bracers
B fury
treads
Sangeyasha
HoT

@ Maca

Dude, don't swear, there are little kiddies about.

While I don't nesscarily like the item build, it's his guide and if you hate it so much go make your own guide!

when i meet the spellcaster i will make magic resist,u know with dragon blood,at lv7 my hp regeneration is 12/sec!!!

1x1 works fine, good standard build...
tanks,

gamatogamatogamatogamatogamatogamatogamatogamatogamatogamatogamatogamatogamatogamatogamato

nort bru. goei hod which will help yr lifesteal after which u hit crystalys and hyperstone and den... radiance! =P

I dont see why dragon knight needs BF becuasr that is just for melee so it wont work with his ulti, so i would not buy BF

THis is the suckest strategy i have ever seen in dotastartegy (2/10)

rather than farming for all these expensive item's i just get 2 bracers treads hood and heart and i already can own(this only works in pub games)

Basher is a waste of inventory since your attack speed is not really that fast and you have stun already. Why not opt for a buriza, radiance or cuirass?

you strategy SUCKS!!! My itembuild is nice but VERY HARD TO FARM...
I played a game once... see my item
1. Boots Of Travel
2. Heart Of Tarrasque
3. Heart Of Tarrasque
4. Statanic
5. Battle Fury
6. Battle Fury

Btw... I break the fountain ^^

Idk if u all have noticed this.. but Ice Dragon form's attack is an orb...and if your attacking outside of dragon form your either being chased or are a noob. Just thought id mention so NO MoM

lol.........glad you put that note at the beginning. Not a very good guide, sorry to say

well... all i can say is... wtf??? ure sure thats the way to play him? i play him completely different. i wont say that ure straytegy is bad but its kind unusual..

i will buy 1 Gauntlets at start then farm for RoH > Shoes > Void Stone > Broadsword > Finish Battle Fury > Finish Power Treads. If team is owning then go for Hyperstone and other Assault Cuirass's requirements. If other team are owning then get 2 Bracers. Next item should be Heart if team need a tanker, if not then go for SnY or any item from level 4 (Undead) recipes ( except int items o_O; )

Dragon Blood > Dragon Tail > after that max Dragon blood then stats then ultimate then Dragon tail/Fire

I think this build impossible to do in 4vs4 battle or 3vs3 5vs5

I Do an item build Today in 4vs4:
1)Power tread
2)SnY
3)Battle Fury
4)Crystalys
5)Assault cuirass
6)Helm of the Dominator

this guide must be a joke

basher???di k nmn agi a may stun ka nmn..? helm of dominator?? my dragon blood ka nmn diba?.. 4hp regen +8 armor along with b.fury 6 hp. 10hp per sec.. pano pag nag tarss ka pa 21+hp/sec n
1. power treads
2. bracer (2)
3. battlefury (easy money)
4. taras or cuirass
5. divine pag di pa tapos,usually hanggang 4 item pa lng tapos na ung game hehe..
