How Pangolier and Pugna perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Pangolier and Pugna win 47.48% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,491 matches.
Trying to burst down a single hero with this pair can feel disjointed. Pugna’s main setup tool, Decrepify, makes a target immune to physical attacks while amplifying magic damage. This directly conflicts with Pangolier, who relies on the physical damage from Swashbuckle and his regular attacks to contribute. Even when Pangolier stuns a target with Rolling Thunder, Pugna’s follow-up can prevent his partner from finishing the job. While both heroes appreciate the setup, their damage types actively work against each other in coordinated ganks. This often forces them to play around different timings or targets, which can be less than ideal.
