Pugna Counters (7.41)
Who counters Pugna in Dota 2 7.41? Heroes Pugna is strong against and heroes it struggles against, ranked by win rate over ranked matches.
Pugna is an anti-caster pusher whose Nether Blast melts towers and heroes, Nether Ward punishes enemy spellcasting, and Life Drain sustains or executes. It dominates spell-spamming, immobile heroes — Timbersaw (61.0%) literally kills himself on Nether Ward, and Elder Titan (56.5%), Mars (56.5%) and Tinker (55.8%) get out-pushed. Pugna is countered by physical carries and pickoff that ignore its wards: Spectre (45.0%), Wraith King (45.1%) and Nyx Assassin (46.1%) out-scale or burst its fragile frame. Draft tip: Pugna is a brutal anti-spell and tower-push core into caster-heavy drafts; it's weaker into physical hard-carries and pickoff line-ups.
