Tusk Counters (7.41)
Who counters Tusk in Dota 2 7.41? Heroes Tusk is strong against and heroes it struggles against, ranked by win rate over ranked matches.
Tusk is an aggressive ganker whose Snowball rolls allies into a fight, Ice Shards wall off escapes, and Walrus Punch launches a target into the air for a crit. He's strong into immobile heroes his combo catches: Shadow Demon (54.0%), Chen (53.8%) and Timbersaw (53.6%) get snowballed and punched. Tusk is countered by tanks and scalers a single pick can't finish: Spectre (42.7%), Wraith King (43.5%) and Dawnbreaker (43.8%) out-tank/scale, while Phoenix (43.9%) out-fights. Draft tip: Tusk is a strong early-gank initiator into squishy drafts; he's weaker into tanky hard-carries and sustain line-ups that survive his Snowball-Punch combo.
