Chaos knight dota 2 set build

Knights Hero Tips:

The cheapest and weakest Knight, Batrider has two things going for him. First, he is a very decent damage dealer in the very early game thanks to Napalm (he falls off later on unless you get the Trolls buff and a high star level on him). Two, he makes the (2) Troll bonus easy to get, which helps with the DPS of your lineup.

The Elusive Alliance is relatively useless in a Knights strat because you don’t need additional defensive synergies – you need damage. That said, Luna is actually one of the best damage dealers in a Knights draft. Since in Underlords you cannot put more than one item on a hero, Luna will be one of your main damage dealers in both Dragons + Knights and Trolls + Knights strategies. This also means she has high upgrade priority (Chaos Knight and Luna are the most cost-efficient pieces to take to three stars) and a good item (preferrably Mask of Madness) on her makes a big difference.

Chaos Knight: 2g, Demon, Knight
Your early and mid-game carry. CK is both tanky and a very decent damage dealer. Put him in the frontline but in a place where he won’t take a lot of damage right away, which would give him more time to auto-attack and deal damage with the Demon Alliance bonus. Later on, he falls off slightly, but getting him to three stars is a great way to keep him relevant.

Omni Knight: 3g, Human, Knight
A good tank with a heal that can deal decent AoE damage. Together with Abaddon, Omni is the backbone of your frontline. One has a shield that deals AoE damage, the other – a heal that does the same. The Human Alliance is useful especially bearing in mind Dragon Knight is also a Human, so it’s pretty easy to hit at least the (2) Humans bonus. If possible, getting Omni to three-stars will increase the AoE damage of his heal significantly.

Your main tank, and since his shield got buffed, he deals decent AoE damage. His most important quality is that he is Heartless. This makes it easy to get at least the (2) Heartless bonus. The armor reduction is extremely helpful in a Knights strategy, which usually lacks damage. If you are staying on 7/8 units and are rolling for upgrades, getting Abaddon to three-stars is a great idea. Chaos knight dota 2 set build He becomes nearly unkillable and could cast his shield multiple times in a fight.

Dragon Knight: 4g, Human, Knight
Your main damage-dealer in a Dragons-Knights strategy thanks to the ranged Dragon form. He deals AoE damage on two-stars and slows on three stars, so he is a very high upgrade priority, although getting him to lvl3 is pretty unrelistic. Usually you want to keep him on two stars and focus on other upgrades, but bear in mind it’s also possible to include two two-star DK’s in your lineup if you have the free space.

DK’s main problem is his low attack speed. To increase his DPS most efficiently you usually want attack speed items on him, although damage items like Daedalus are also not bad, of course.

Outside of a Knights draft, he could be a decent tank – he has high HP and in-built 10HP regen, and his nuke applies a damage reduction debuff, which helps your frontline survive for longer. He is Human, so he can help you get the Human synergy.

Sven: 5g, Human, Scaled, Knight
Sven is one of the most unique Aces in the game because he totally changes the philosophy of his Alliance. Once he casts God’s Strength, he turns the damage reduction of all Knights into bonus damage. This has a clear downside – the lineup becomes much squishier. Because of this, it’s not always a clear choice if you want to take him or not – he could theoretically make your lineup worse. A good way to play around this is to use good positioning. You can put him on the backline to make sure he doesn’t activate God Strength right away. This way you will have the survivability buff when the enemy heroes are casting their initial wave of nukes and crowd control, and the damage buff after most enemy abilities are on cooldown.

Puck gains Phase Shift from the Dragons synergy, which makes him slightly harder to kill (especially with high-damage nukes). It’s not particularly useful in a Knights lineup, but it could be good if you can activate it in an Elusive/Mages lineup.

Viper gains Corrosive Skin from the Dragons Alliance bonus, which gives him considerable magic resistance and a damage over time debuff that applies to all heroes attacking him. Because of this, he is the more useful of the two secondary Dragons in a Knights strategy.
