Dawnbreaker abilities

Starbreaker

Dawnbreaker whirls her hammer around 3 times, damaging enemies with her attack plus bonus damage. On the final strike, she smashes her hammer down, stunning and damaging enemies in front of her.

Aghanim's Shard: Dawnbreaker gains debuff immunity with 50% magic resistance and free movement during Starbreaker. Dawnbreaker is slowed by 35% down to a minimum of 215.

Celestial Hammer

Dawnbreaker hurls her weapon at a target, damaging enemies struck along the way. The hammer pauses for 2 seconds at the destination before flying back to her, leaving a trail of fire that slows enemies. Dawnbreaker can recall the hammer at any time, pulling her towards it so they meet in the middle.

Luminosity

After a number of attacks, Dawnbreaker powers up, charging her next attack with a critical hit that heals all allied heroes within 650 units around her for a portion of attack damage dealt. Creeps and neutral enemies provide less healing. Allies are healed for 50% of the amount.

Aghanim's Scepter: Dawnbreaker gets 2 Luminosity attacks every time she powers up.

Break of Dawn

Whenever the sun comes out, Dawnbreaker gains bonus base damage and vision that decreases throughout the course of the day. If Dawnbreaker causes the day these bonuses are at full power for the entirety of that daytime.

Aghanim's Scepter: Break of Dawn provides healing amplification equal to the current damage increase.

Solar Guardian

CHANNELED - Dawnbreaker creates a pulsing effect at a location within 350 units of an allied hero anywhere on the map and creates daylight for 6s. Each pulse damages enemies and heals allies. After a short duration, she flies to the target location and deals additional damage and stuns enemies upon landing. Once channeled, Dawnbreaker cannot stop the ability.

Aghanim's Scepter: Solar Guardian's aura follows Dawnbreaker for 2s after landing.

Dawnbreaker shines in the heart of battle, happily crushing enemies with her celestial hammer and healing nearby allies. She revels in hurling her hammer through multiple foes and then converging with it in a blazing wake, always waiting to tap her true cosmic power to fly to the aid of her teammates — eager to rout her enemies on the battlefield no matter where they are.
