Lane and early skills
Breathe Fire damages enemies and reduces their attack damage, helping with trades and last hits. Dragon Tail stuns a target so a teammate can follow up; do not spend it on a hero you cannot reach safely. A public 7.41f build often starts Breathe Fire and takes Dragon Tail early, but adjust when an early stun is needed. Read the current tooltips for other skill choices and mana costs.
Buy lane regeneration and suitable starting stats. Power Treads is a common early boot choice in the referenced build. Secure last hits first: using every spell to harass can leave you without mana when a fight starts.
Use dragon form with a purpose
Elder Dragon Form turns Dragon Knight into a ranged attacker for its duration. When available, coordinate with teammates and a healthy creep wave to pressure a tower; do not transform alone into missing enemies. In a team fight, use Dragon Tail on a target your team can reach and keep track of your form duration.
If repeated disables stop you attacking, consider Black King Bar; if you need to reach a target, consider a mobility item instead. Neither choice replaces vision or teammates. Check the current skill and item descriptions after updates.
