Yeah, SF gets a little mad when you focus him.

It's about time I finish this section of my DK guide (which I left alone for nearly a month.)

Items
Because of Dragon Knight's versatility, a lot of items goes well with him. Here's a list of my personal favorite items and a few that I think are viable:

General items
Posted ImagePosted ImagePosted Image
This is the items that I think should be top priority for Dragon Knight, regardless of his role. My tendency is usually to get boots first. Mobility is among DK's shortcomings and rushing boots should help in getting out of sticky situations in the early-game and get in up close for a Dragon Tail.

Soul Ring and Bottle solves his mana problems. I personally prefer Soul Ring because it allows me to spam Breathe Fire (which is given a really good buff now.) The regen is good as well so I don't have to go back to fountain constantly. Bottle is for mid DK and if you're lucky, you can help set-up ganks with a good rune. Even if you are mid, you can replace Bottle with Soul Ring but you're gonna be stuck farming until you get items. Whatever the case, these will really help in the long run.

Boots of choice
Posted ImagePosted Image
Here are your two best boots options for Dragon Knight. Power Treads is what I mostly go for because Tread switching to Int will save you a lot of mana and there's the nice attack speed bonus. Phase Boots is good for mid DK for chasing foes in ganks and provides nice damage boost but sacrifices attack speed.

Helm of the Dominator
Posted Image
Just when you think you can't get tanky enough. Provides +5 armor and synergizes with Dragon Blood. With this, you can farm really fast in the jungle if you have Soul Ring. Also, gives you lifesteal which is always good. I usually get this after my boots.

Damage items
Posted ImagePosted ImagePosted Image
Daedelus might be my favorite DK item ever. Synergizes well with your Dragon Form once you have splash damage. Potentially, you can take down 2 or 3 heroes with 3 or 4 hits.

Lately, Mjollnir is becoming the better item. I like it for the attack speed and lightning procs that really turns DK into a pushing machine without Dragon Form.

MKB is situational. Get it if the enemy team has some sort of evasion.

Black King Bar
Posted Image
Before you get your damage items, keep this in mind. If you feel like the enemy team has about 2 or 3 disables, get a BKB first. It's a must for DK. If there are about 1 or 2 with the second one not much of a factor, you can get at least a Crystalys or Maelstrom but you have to get this once you're in midgame.

Assault Cuirass
Posted Image
Now you're ready to take on everyone. Towers will cower before your AC and Dragon Form. Their tank won't be much of a problem. Anyway, a must for carry DK.

Satanic
Posted Image
Going into late-game, upgrade your HotD into a Satanic. If you activate it the right time, you could go from low to full health in just 3 or 4 strikes. Be careful if they still have disables so try to pop your BKB if you haven't yet. It's a waste to just activate it and not hit anything.

THE ULTIMATE MISCONCEPTION OF HEART
Posted Image
I don't know about you guys but when I first played DK, I thought Heart of Tarrasque is the ultimate, endgame DK item. It's not. It provides 40 Strength so that's +40 in damage which is very small for late-game. You don't need it for regen because your already have Dragon Blood and Satanic, which is the better item because of lifesteal and the regen from Heart will go away once a fight starts.

Don't make the mistake of rushing this after BKB. Getting Heart is very situational and should be bought for tanking purposes, not for damage and carrying.

Situational items
These are items that I haven't tried but sounds really good on paper. There's a whole lot of items that fall under this list but I can't list out everything so try to experiment.

Shadow Blade is becoming a viable item now thanks to the addition of Silver Edge. It's good if you plan to gank a lot in the game.

Sange and Yasha is good for chasing foes. Once you have the gold, you can disassemble this and build Heaven's Halberd. If you want to get creative, build Manta Style for that triple dragon action but I don't think it's a good idea because it doesn't give much damage.

Moon Shard sounds good if you're up against a Night Stalker. Good attack speed boost for Level 3 Dragon slow but should get another item that would complement it.

If you somehow get the gold, Eye of Skadi would reaaaaaaaaaally slow down your targets.

I could go on but whatever you do, NEVER GET BATTLE FURY. It makes no sense on Dragon Knight since Cleave won't work with Dragon Form.

Did he have Bottle? From what I hear, you get more regen from Bottle if you drop stat items (Wraith Band, Null Talisman, etc.)

We killed SF something like 5 times in the first 10 minutes and he started saying 'stop focusing me'. They all teamed up to kill Huskar at one point so he said 'stop focusing me' and it became a running joke for the rest of the game.

I'm basically giving up on these hero-specific Compendium challenges.

First we get "Blink in and Call 2 heroes with Axe". And I rerolled that because I don't want to be an Axe picker.

Then this results in "Win a game as Death Prophet". And I rerolled that because I don't want to be a DP picker.

Then "Kill Rosh before 14 minutes as Juggernaut". And I rerolled that because I don't want to be a Jugg picker.

Finally I've ended on "get 10 stacks of Flesh Heap on Pudge before 22 minutes" and I'm convinced rolling this one out will get me something horrendous like "Play Storm Spirit for 5 games in a row".



EDIT: "Blink in and stun 2 heroes as Earthshaker". This one's better holy shit.

I've had Mirana, Centaur, and Phoenix. Maybe you just have to want it more.
