Trying to land a kill on Brewmaster with spells can be frustrating. Ancient Apparition's Ice Blast is normally a death sentence for durable heroes because it stops all healing, but Brewmaster has a perfect answer. He can often use Primal Split to dodge the projectile, survive the debuff's duration, or simply have his Storm panda dispel the follow-up Cold Feet. This forces a standoff. While Ice Blast still cripples the sustain of Brewmaster's teammates during a long fight, the primary target often escapes what would kill anyone else. The whole interaction depends entirely on who uses their ultimate first and how well they time it, making the matchup very even.
