Why this works

Playing against this pair can feel suffocating in the mid-game. Primal Beast charges in, and suddenly Riki is on you inside his Smoke Screen. The core of their strength comes from Pulverize, which locks a single hero down for Riki to attack freely without fear of retaliation. A good Onslaught into Pulverize is often a guaranteed kill if Riki is nearby to provide the damage. This relies entirely on Primal Beast finding the right target and landing his spells, however. A quick save from an enemy support with a Force Staff or a stun on Primal Beast can disrupt the entire gank, which is why the combination feels helpful but not completely overwhelming.
