Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41f win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41f, Pugna wins the Pugna vs Tusk matchup: Pugna beats Tusk in 52.72% of 11,325 ranked matches.
Jumping on a priority target as Tusk often feels awkward against a Pugna. The core of Tusk's ganking power is physical burst from Walrus Punch, but a single cast of Decrepify completely negates that damage, forcing him to find a different target or wait for the spell to fade. This defensive tool can turn a clean kill into a failed initiation. Nether Ward also punishes Tusk for using his spells to start a fight. However, the advantage is slight because Pugna is extremely fragile. A well-timed Snowball that catches Pugna out of position is usually a death sentence, especially if he doesn't have Decrepify ready for himself.
