Dragon Rush

Dragon 5 (with Minotaur Horn) = every ally starts the fight at full mana.

Puck, Viper, Dragon Knight and Jakiro give Dragon 3 (dragons start full). A Minotaur Horn makes a 5th Dragon, and then the whole board opens with Ravage, Midnight Pulse, Thundergod's Wrath and Laguna Blade at second zero. On top of that 6 Mages strip enemy magic resistance.

Final board

• Tidehunter (5)
• Dragon Knight (4)
• Viper (3)
• Enigma (3)
• Puck (2)
• Zeus (5)
• Jakiro (5)
• Lina (2)
• Crystal Maiden (1)
• Keeper of the Light (4)

Core items

• Minotaur Horn
• Aghanims Scepter
• Kaya
• Black King Bar

How to play

1. Play a Mage opener (Crystal Maiden, Lina, Puck).
2. Viper and Dragon Knight complete Dragon 3 around level 6; dragons now cast instantly.
3. Save Tier 4 loot for Minotaur Horn and put it on Tidehunter or Enigma.
4. Add Zeus and Jakiro at 8-9 for Mage 6.
5. Keep the instant-cast tanks in the middle so Ravage and Midnight Pulse catch the most enemies.

Strengths

• Wins the first 2 seconds of every fight.

Weaknesses

• Needs a specific T4 item; weak if Horn never drops.
