Primal Beast (PB) Counter Picks — 7.41f
Who counters Primal Beast (PB) in Dota 2 7.41f? Counter picks and matchups for Primal Beast, ranked by win rate from ranked matches.
Primal Beast is a tanky initiator whose Onslaught charges and stuns, Trample tanks him up, and Pulverize locks down a single hero with a brutal AoE stun.

Primal Beast is countered by scalers and sustain that out-last its burst: Wraith King, Lifestealer and Underlord survive and overtake it, while Bloodseeker chases it down. Draft tip: Primal Beast is a strong durable initiator into squishy drafts; it's weaker into sustain and late-scaling hard-carries that out-last Pulverize.
