Dota Hero Pugna The Oblivion Map

Dota Hero Pugna – The Oblivion Item Build, Guide and Strategy. Pugna is a fragile yet versatile spellcaster. Due to his massive base intelligence and high gain per level, he has plenty of mana to cast his spells as much as he wants. In addition, Nether Blast also deals damage to towers, which makes Pugna a powerful sieging hero with Nether Blast alone. Pugna’s Decrepify spell is useful in several ways. It functions as a decent movement speed slowing spell for catching fleeing enemies, and also amplifies spell damage against the target. Decrepify and Nether Blast make a powerful combination. Decrepify can also be cast on allies, and since it prevents the target from being hit by physical attacks, it gives clever Pugna players a way to deal with potentially troublesome physical attack oriented heroes by either Decrepifying the enemy hero (which prevents them from attacking), or an allied hero to prevent them from being attacked. To know more about his character, see the post below.

3. Nether Ward (Hotkey: W)

Summons a Nether Ward that prevents enemy heroes from regenerating mana and can cast Mana Flare, which deals damage to enemy heroes as they cast spells. Lasts 25 seconds. Each level increases the area of effect of the Ward’s Mana Flare, the Mana Flare damage, the negative mana regen and the hp of the ward.
Level 1 – Ward has 75 HP, -1.5 Mana regeneration to enemies, Mana Flare deals 0.75 damage per each point of Mana.
Level 2 – Ward has 150 HP, -3.0 Mana regeneration to enemies, Mana Flare deals 1.00 damage per each point of Mana.
Level 3 – Ward has 225 HP, -4.5 Mana regeneration to enemies, Mana Flare deals 1.25 damage per each point of Mana.
Level 4 – Ward has 300 HP, -6.0 Mana regeneration to enemies, Mana Flare deals 1.50 damage per each point of Mana.
- Damage type: magical
- Mana Flare is triggered when an enemy casts a spell and the damage is based on the spell’s mana-cost.
- Mana Flare deals the damage before the actual spell is cast, so if the target dies the spell will have no effect.
- Area of Effect: 700/1000/1300/1600
Mana Cost: 80
Cooldown: 35 seconds

4. Life Drain (Hotkey: D)

Level 3 – Drains 185 (250*) HP per second.
Mana Cost: 125/175/225
Cooldown: 22 (0*) seconds
- Damage type: magical
- Life Drain is a channeling spell.
- HP drained depends on the actual damage dealt, so Decrepify increases it and spell reduction reduces it.
- Will continue to drain as long as the target stays within 850 range from Pugna.
- If the target is an illusion it’s destroyed on the first damage tick.
- Casting range: 850
- Can be improved by Aghanim’s Scepter (* shows the improved values).

Pugna The Oblivion Strategy

Early Game Laning Phase:
If you are dual-laning, you should begin to support your team before the creeps even spawn. Buy a chicken and share it immediately, or use your wards before the first creepspawn. Use them to block the enemy ‘pull spot’ and/or to protect your solo hero from ganks.

Pugna can be a strong solo or a good lane partner. Typically if you choose to dual-lane, pick a melee stunner as your lane partner – this way you can support him with your range and use his stun to hit all your blasts.

Practice the typical lane control techniques so you gain an advantage over your opponents. Also, make sure you use the ‘s’ hotkey to cancel any Nether Blasts that are off-target. Level as fast as you can and pick up your early boots and support items.

If you have your lane on lockdown, or if you have an extremely aggressive pushing lane like KotL/Pugna, try to take out the enemy’s first tower before your opponents can resist you.

Early Game Pushing Phase:
As soon as you have level 7 and boots, you have the potential to take down enemy towers quickly. Look to find weak lanes and coordinate with your teammates to take towers in quick succession.

If the other team defends, use your early game advantage to own them in team clashes. Always drop your Nether Ward in a hidden location that is close enough to deal damage. When pushing top or bottom tower, place an observer ward behind it here to gain vision of approaching heroes. Last hit the tower with Nether Blast if it’s at risk of being denied, but if possible leave the money to your carry hero. Remember, taking towers quickly provides far more money than farming creeps, and can give you the item advantage that allows you to break the enemy base.

Mid Game Ganking Phase:
During battles you should be able to feed on enemy spellcasters by zapping them with Nether Ward. It’s a win/win situation – if they use spells to fight, they die to Mana Flare. If they choose to spend time stalling until they find the ward and kill it, your team will run over the top of them with your own offensive skills.

Always look to save allied heroes with your Meka and/or Decrepify. Never ever Decrepify a hero that your team is killing with physical damage. Think quickly and choose your targets well.

Poogles is weak as hell so you’ll need your wits about you to survive battles.

Late Game:
Sure, you’ve lost a bit of power but you’ve still got some tricks up your sleeve. Screw over the enemy damage dealers with Decrepify and continue to take down towers with Nether Blast. Your ward is still a frighteningly strong spell – particularly because enemy ultimates now cost upward of 400 mana.
