Drafting either hero into the other feels like a deliberate bet on which team can hit their timings first. Pugna brings a direct answer to Troll Warlord's aggression with Decrepify, which can completely neutralize him during Battle Trance and save a focused ally. This forces the Troll player to itemize specifically for him, often rushing a BKB or Nullifier sooner than they might want. However, Troll Warlord is excellent at closing the distance on a fragile hero like Pugna. Once Troll gets that BKB, Pugna loses his main defensive tool and becomes a primary target. The fight often comes down to whether Pugna can get his save off before Troll can activate his items and run him over.
