Dawnbreaker/Guide

Offlaner
Dawnbreaker needs levels to snowball.Her abilities are very strong in the early to mid game and,when paired with a support,can secure kills or bully enemy carries away from the creepwave. If the lane gets hard, consider using to farm ranged creeps.It is also her best ability for damage, so it should be maxed first.From that point, depending on whether you need more damage or crowd control, either of the other spells can be maxed out. From level 6 onwards,one should look for ganging opportunities,as the ultimate allows Dawnbreaker to turn around a fight without running through the map.

General

 * Dawnbreaker's ultimate is channeled, meaning when Solar Guardian is about to activate and Dawnbreaker gets stunned, then the ultimate gets canceled and gets put on cooldown. To prevent this, always keep in mind which heroes on the enemy team have disables and stay away from the ones that do. Jumping from another side of the map is another strategy.
 * You can use Blink Dagger during Starbreaker, so you can blink toward an enemy right before the last swing, surprising and stunning the enemy hero
 * Dawnbreaker's abilities are relatively hard to land,so you should coordinate jumps with a support.
 * Moreover, her mana pool is incredibly small.Keep mana costs in mind when going for a kill.
 * Tip needed.
 * Tip needed.


 * Using Starbreaker when your Luminosity charge is at 1 times your crit/heal hit with Starbreaker’s last stunning hit.
 * Enemies can easily side step this skill so use it with other disables.
 * No matter how many enemies you hit, each attack of Starbreaker gives 1 charge to Luminosity. (3 in total if you dont miss.)
 * Since it triggers instant attacks,any Attack modifier trigger aswell.
 * Each of the items will probably proc only once during the spell,due to the effects' internal cooldown.


 * Instead of clicking on enemy heroes or creep, you should aim at the ground behind them to make use of Celestial Hammer Range.
 * Celestial Hammer is very efficient in farming 2 close jungle camps simultaneously.Together with ,it usually kills most of the creeps.
 * Ask your support to stack the jungle for you so you can farm gold faster.
 * The slow from Celestial Hammer makes it easier to land all three hits of Starbreaker on enemies without them running away. Be sure to use Celestial Hammer before Starbreaker when ganking enemy heroes.


 * To get the maximum healing use your crit/heal hit on grouped up enemies with Starbreaker.


 * Since Solar Guardian has global cast range so you can farm away from your team easily without missing fights.
 * Since it takes 2.5 seconds for Solar Guardian to stun make sure to time it with other disables.
 * It would be wise to wait some time for important abilities, such as, before jumping.

Late game:
 * gives her excellent initiation ability, besides its obvious escape capabilities. It synergizes the most with her, since it doesn't interrupt the ability when used. Dawnbreaker can start it up once she sets her sight on an unaware enemy, leaving the first two strikes unused but uninterrupted, before blinking towards the opponent to land the third blow without telegraphing it. Can be upgraded into for its immense strength bonus which translates into the big damage dealt upon blinking, while slowing nearby enemies at your destination.


 * covers the deficiencies of her poor agility growth which results in less armor and attack speed. The armor reduction aura is always welcome for a right-clicking hero, and the attack speed aura makes her omnipresence ever useful.
