Dragon Knight

Davion the Dragon Knight is a very tough melee strength hero with a relatively versatile skill set. Dragon Knight has a nuke and a stun, giving him an advantage in ganks. Dragon Knight has no real escape ability, though his Dragon Blood ability and armor make him capable of withstanding strong hits and recovering quickly. He is still very vulnerable in the early game, however, and needs to farm and stay alive in order to be effective in later stages. If he has enough levels and farm, Dragon Knight is very formidable late game due to his strong ultimate, transforming into a legendary dragon, turning him into one of the most dangerous beasts in late game, capable of eliminating multiple enemies at once.

Tips

 * Take an early point in Dragon Tail, but do not max it over your other skills. Some players even choose to take Attribute Bonus over further ranks, as Dragon Tail's effectiveness does not increase very much with each point.
 * Dragon Knight has no cast-time on his abilities; you can squeeze in extra attacks in between your spellcasts by cancelling the backswing animation.
 * Some players forgo taking level 2 Elder Dragon form, as the Green Dragon's Corrosive Breath is very useful when pushing. Dragon Knight also has Breathe Fire to quickly clear waves. If you choose to do this, save the skill point gained at level 15 so that you can max your Elder Dragon Form upon your next level up.

Trivia

 * In the original Dota, Dragon Knight's fun name was Trogdor, the playable character of a mini game from the Homestar Runner universe.
 * Dragon Tail is the longest (guaranteed) level 1 stun in game. Mirana's Arrow can stun up to 5 seconds at level 1, but must have traveled at least 1500 units and as such is difficult to hit with.
