Gold. Making dragon's blood an active that disables the regen buff but gives Davion his immolation ability back but with higher damage and an even bigger AoE
I remember back in 2009 where me and my friends would use Knight heroes for the lols. •Rogue Knight •Omni Knight •Dragon Knight •Chaos Knight •Holy Knight
DK was the very first hero I picked in DotA when I first started because he looks human. I bought a lot of gauntlets because he is a str hero and then spam his breath fire on creeps until I was out of mana in lane. It feels like it only happened yesterday. It's strange to know that most people watching the anime would probably also pick DK as their first hero in Dota.
Your comment reminds me of my first hero which is Doom because I like the look of Doomguard in Warcraft 3 and I remember the unit portrait when I had to pick a hero in my first ever Dota match. Needless to say, I still love playing him now as well.
@@Yepheonix ??? Watch the video? In Dragon Knight's lore in the original Defense of the Ancients, it says he was the child of a human and a dragon. Should be obvious if you watched the video.
from being a character that showed up a few times in the warcraft campaign, to becoming one of the main characters of the Dota anime. the humble captain has grown quite a popularity now.
29:28 oh wow i got featured x) Nice work on this one dennis, i was amazed to know that the dota underlords voicelines hinted stuff about the anime. With that said, hopefully new players who are interested in DK finds this video informative :D
I'm surprised too. Hope the anime addresses the discrepancy as why Slyrak is healthy and in full strength in the trailer, or if that dragon was a red-herring.
Yes! Dragon Knight was one of the first heroes I played on the original dota 1. Being a really simple hero to play (also having a cool character model), he was my go to pick when my friends and I play LAN together.
DK was the 2nd hero I picked up back in DoTA. I always thought that when leveling his Dragon form from green to red that he would lose the corrosive breath ability. Took me years to understand and know that wasnt the case in DoTA2 , all those games with me not taking red form until i get to level15
Alexstraza's Dragon Queen spell actually also gives her more health, reduces the duration of crowd control and stuns used against her, lets her use her healing spell without losing her own health and also lets to use her first ultimate where she flies into the sky without delay
Dragon Knight was one of my first, and favorite characters back in the original Dota. I loved his free hp regen, and how it could keep him in lane and keep soaking exp, even when things were going poorly. Then at level 6, I could just turn into a dragon, and eat towers for breakfest with armor type beating chaos damage. He was a braindead character for a braindead preteen me. I liked him so much, I recreated him in one of my new favorite games, Pathfinder: Kingmaker, as a lawful good human paladin 2/steelblood bloodrager 12/dragon disciple 6 I ended up choosing red dragon bloodline as it seems the most appropriate thematically, and it did seem Slyrak was your typical evil chromatic dragon up until his deathbed. He performed exactly as in game, a hard to kill frontline tank with great AC, magic resistance, decent melee damage, and surprising aoe capability that is not normally seen in frontline fighters. (though frontline fighters also are not normally capable of throwing fireballs or dragon breath.) I ended up benching both Valarie and Amiri because he basically did both of their jobs, and went with heavy backline support.
I have played warcraft 3 and the frozen throne according to that game nature prophet and the mirana were finace and the antimage was intrested in mirana later after corruption anti mage became terror blade. Anit mage and nature prophet were brothers in that game.
Watching this video after fi isjing the anime helped me understand more of what the lines he has in Underlords are referring to. Holy crap the lore is so deep
In Mobile Legends, there's a hero named Yu Zhong. He is a frontliner with a knock-up (stun but fancier) and an ultimate that turns him into a dragon that can fly around and is immune to crowd control. At the end of the ult, he temporarily becomes a humanoid dragon with upgraded skill sets. Too bad he doesn't become range though.
That guy is powerful, too bad that my friend has it but prefer Chou instead. This is a word of a ML player, I only play this because I don't have a PC, ML is accessable and my brother and my friends plays it
@@etheron123 In his first release he was constantly getting banned although the devs has nerfed him since then. He's still good in good hands but more manageable now. A tier for fighters.
DK actually has finished art in the current version of Artifact Foundry. He’s a really good early game hero, amazing if he’s unblocked during dragon form.
Hey Dennis. I think some parts of the video warrant consideration for removal or a spoiler warning. At 24:19 Bram and Kaden are both mentioned by name, both of which are characters which are still present and still alive at least up till the third episode of the new series which is where I ve watched to. 25:40 references how Slyrak completely takes over, and, considering Slyrak is still voiced by Tony Todd in the series...you get the idea.
I saw 3 episodes of Dragons Blood and I loved the initiative / investment that Valve did with the animation but I hated what they did with Davion, they totally changed it in relation to the game's lore. And not only that, they did it in a lazy way, every part of him with Slyrak was ridiculous.

Come up with an Elder Dragon Form! What color/element and unique effect would you give to Dragon Knight?
Purple - changing right-clicks to send void balls and causing magic damage
Shining Silver, with an effect causing a stacking debuff which when it goes full after 4 stacks, disarms or mutes the enemy.
I'LL go with sand dragon, maybe give his breath attack sand effects blinding enemies causing them to miss there base attack, and instead of flying, dragon form can crawl leaving the ground disfigured causing movement slow to anyone who steps on it like a sand quake

Gonna go obscure! Purple Dragon like in D&D! Auto-attack is a long-range blast of energy that hits all targets in a row instantly.
The good old days of playing 4D chess by only leveling his ultimate once to keep its best effect.
Megamind times

"You will answer for what you did Terrorblade!" Knowing Terrorblade, he probably wrote some bad poetry and then ATE EVERY TOWER ON THE MAP.
Or just watch the anime to know why he hates terrorblade

According to the anime he hates terrorblade for never being in team fights and always split pushing and farming the jungle :( Or maybe thats just me

"Slyrak, why are you hiding in that human?" Pick made me laugh
Slyrak turned shy! Haha
I do believe that "Arc Honist" sounds like "Arsonist"
or Arcanist, which sounds like a job a warcraft gnome would have.
uh I'm just guessing it but I think Arc Honist name is based on the dragon blood third skills which means immune. Idk
More like "Archon", referring to an Elder Dragon.
Ah, the protagonist that keeps winning matchups these days.

I see what you did there with Luna, Invoker, and Mirana attacking Davion.

Welp, I see how much respect he gives lol.
Damn, writers of Dragon’s Blood really made this into a coherent story line.
Always was
Eh...
Now we know who is Kaden, Thanks Valve for answering
The Uldorak too.
Couldn't like this any faster!!!
Dennis my man thank you for all of your hard work
Well, after watching the show and hearing those lines to Mirana i can say, that 3rd season ends tragically for Davion, as i suspected
I quit dota years ago, but I still enjoy watching this :) thanks for uploading!
Press F to pay respect for DK's winrate right now
Love your videos, keep up the great work!!
To be even more fair, this map is also complete bs on higher difficulties without said strategy.
After watching the anime and this, IT ALL MAKES SENSE!
these voice line make A LOT more sense with the anime. it really make one wonder is this Valve's plan all along....
"The _bigger_ you are, the *_harder_* it hits"
-Kaden
Sven: "Same here brother"
That's an incredible amount of work, nice job!
9:42 yeah I remember that, that's why I didn't use to level up his ult to level 3. Preferred the splash damage.
Whos here after watching Deagons Blood? The anime was sooooo good!
Be ready for davion persona as his young version.
Or perhaps a model update, his current face model (even though it's usually hidden by either his default helm or most helm cosmetics) is pretty bad
Nah, its too easternish for dota which is so westernish. If they use like animation series, it will become like mobile legend models. Don't like it
i love the damage over time mechanic they add in brewmaster's W, idk how its now but it was fun
What a nice week this was. i have seen another good vid from Dennis the Tall!
4:50 I really thought he said "...who taught him to tap into the massive energies that lay concealed in his butt"
6:00 Don't you think the name Arc Honist is word play for "Arsonist"? You know, considering it's a fire breathing dragon, and all
OMG the Spyro music as an intro is genius
Dennis featured in dota dragon's blood confirmed
I don't think u guys know this about DK but...
His name means something
I DK that, thanks.

Its Donkey Kong right?

I am just way too happy seeing you post, god damn.
also, can u do Kunkka next?
been waiting for this!!
to be exact, dragon tail is the longest stun in game. Even level 1 stun is longer than 90% of stuns at level 4.
I dont count shackles as stun :P

Great timing!

Fun fact, Arc Honist is creative play out of the word Arsonist.
No
One of the first heroes I learned how to use, so easy to use, no wonder why he is the main character in dragon's blood ❤
Then dennis watched dragon’s blood to review this vid and felt proud
One of the most annoying heroes to fight with in a lane haha. very nice video Dennis! Been waiting for a video like this.
23:54 this line was said in the dota anime by kaden himself
i knew the sword was familiar, it was in underlords long before
I think Maliken's ult from Heroes of Neworth is kinda inspired by DK's ult. It's basically the same trading the frost breath for a 2 sec fear on cast
Just in time, watching Dota: Dragon's Blood on Netflix. Watching the Tagalog dubbed while working from home. Lol.
RIP Tony Todd. Dragon Knight was one of my personal favorite performances of his.
I've always thought that Arc Honist was a subtle hint for arsonist as you know... he does turn into a big fire breathing dragon.
This is for those of us who have never played Dota but have taken interest in the Netflix show. Lol, cause I have no idea what's happenin

What are you called...?
Davion... A Dragon Knight...!!!
holy crap, I wanna beta Elder Dragon Form icon back, it is damn glorious
Finally, my fav hero
Imagine a voice line from DK yelling "Fus Ro Dah!"
can't help but feel like dota is growing.
or all of us fans just really like dota
He's a dragon, a knight and he likes to bake!
-flax
I don't play Dota, but I wish other mobas made simple kits viable like this game does.
Good video bro
After finishing Season 3 of Dragon's Blood, hearing those dialogues towards Mirana and Terrorblade hit different now.
What I was going to comment, everything makes sense now, and also everything was planned way back

Every time Dennis say "Dragon" You do a shot
“Davion the fuckin dragon knight that killed the fuckin dragon”.
With the dragon's blood released, we need history of Terrorblade
My very first hero I when I played dota.
Playing since AA-Slark patch.
I was playing the game when Panda's ale and breath of fire had the combo. It felt natural at the time because of the WC3 Panda combo.
Fun times
Nice introduction before watching the series
When you referenced Pokemon, I honestly thought you'd say "If it's not 100% accurate, it's 50% accurate"
DK was my gateway to dota allstars. Good times.
Haven't yet watched but here's my like
I remember the old time when leveling up DK's ult once because green dragon is the best one
0:04 Is this the "literally taking no damage" reference, or actual gameplay?

I mean the way he basically links with slyrak is mostly the same, the only thing that changed was his backstop of his parents being killed by dragons.
@@zjmstrash7181 Just the fact that they mixed blood followed the lore. Everything else was badly made or different.
I bet that omni-knight is having a bad time by getting hit by level 1 , 2 and 3 elder dragon forms. LOL
You should be in Slacks dota community tutorial post credits. this channel is brilliant and I'm sure he'd insert u in there
Dennis Buddy i think you forgot one more game
Heroes Evolve has Dragos a Davion wannabe
Razor: *Corny electricity pun with high pitched laughter*
Very detail history!
Arc Honist must be for "arsonist", someone who deliberately sets things on fire.
"Dragon Knight is a melee strength hero who's very straightforward to learn..."
Is this a hidden reference to the new tutorial released? Hahaha.
No...it's just a fact...
DK has been the first hero I played in Dota 2, and he's still one of my faves.
I hope you revisit the heroes you did fairly early in the series with this longer format. Like for Jugg, Invoke, and Wraith :D
Eyy, there's pokemon reference also, niiiceeee
Dota 2's DK voice actor is the mortician in Final Destination 1-4? Wow
Good episode for the day before dragon's blood
Maliken from HoN may not be a dragon but his ultimate his basically the same as DK sad he's not mentioned here
Dragon voice actor sounds the same from Series as in the game! =) Nice!
Can you do history if monkey king please
