Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Pugna wins the Primal Beast vs Pugna matchup: Pugna beats Primal Beast in 61.43% of 223 ranked matches.
Thinking Decrepify will solve all your problems against a Primal Beast is a common trap. While it can save a teammate from Trample, the Beast’s mobility with Onslaught lets him close the gap on Pugna from off-screen. A successful charge and Pulverize is often a death sentence, as Pugna is completely locked down and unable to cast anything to save himself. Pugna’s Nether Ward can be an annoyance and punish Primal Beast for using his abilities, but it does little to stop the initial jump and stun. Ultimately, Pugna is forced into a reactive posture against a hero who excels at initiating, giving Primal Beast a slight but real edge.
