Gameplay
“The Dragon Slyrak sleeps within this armor, and the knight within the Dragon waits. Beware you do not wake them both.”
After many years on a pilgrimage to the legendary land of Eldwum, Davion, the dragon slayer, suddenly discovers he is facing a disappointment: Slyrak, the terrorist Dragon that scared everyone in the past. Now old and weak, its wings torn, its few remaining scales rotten, its teeth decaying, and the flames it breathes are no longer feared. How much more than a wet match? Feeling no honor in slaying such a decaying Dragon, the young knight prepared to turn around and leave his old rival to die in peace. However, at that moment, a voice suddenly entered his mind, and Slyrak begged the knight to let him die honorably in battle.
The knight agreed, and immediately found his mercy had brought him a priceless gift: As he plunged his blade into Slyrak's chest, the Old Dragon also pierced his talons. It got into his throat. When their bloodlines merged into one, Slyrak also infused him with her strength, giving him all the strength and wisdom accumulated over the centuries.
After the death of the dragon, fate tied their destinies together, and since then, the Dragon Knight was born. An ancient force had slumbered in Davion's body, and would awaken whenever he needed it or whenever the Dragon needed the knight.

Tips & Tactics
General
This is the most common way to build for DK, maxing out Breathe fire (Q) first because this is DK's main farming + main damage ability in the early game with not too long cooldown and range. The effect is very wide, followed by Dragon blood (E) increasing the ability to stay, and finally Dragon tail (W). Ultimate get the correct level
