Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41f win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41f, Grimstroke wins the Grimstroke vs Primal Beast matchup: Grimstroke beats Primal Beast in 56.20% of 8,542 ranked matches.
Thinking about pairing these two heroes is common, but picking Grimstroke against Primal Beast is where he truly shines. The Beast's entire game plan of charging in with Onslaught and trampling targets is completely stalled by Grimstroke's control. A well-placed Phantom's Embrace can stop his initiation from a safe distance, and Primal Beast often lacks the attack speed or allies to kill the phantom before the silence and stun land. Later on, Soulbind punishes him for diving alongside a core, leashing them together and making his aggressive plays a huge liability. Primal Beast relies on momentum, and Grimstroke is excellent at stopping it before it ever starts.
