Beastmaster
Karroch nació entre los establos; su madre murió en el parto. Su padre, herrador del rey loco de Slom, era un hombre de dignidad silenciosa, dolido por la deformidad de su hijo. Fue aprendiz de un trampero de bestias salvajes, aprendiendo a leer los rastros del bosque, las señales de las estaciones y a capturar criaturas del páramo.

Principios clave
“The wild answers to no master but those who understand its language. Speak their tongue, and they shall be your army.”
Master the Summon
Your animals are your strength. Protect the Boar, position the Hawk. When your summons fall, so does your map presence.
Vision is Victory
Information wins games. Use your Hawk to control the map, spot rotations, and set up perfect Primal Roars.
Amplify Your Impact
Wild Axes isn't just damage - it's a force multiplier. The damage amplification turns your team's hits into executions.
Roar with Purpose
Primal Roar is precision, not panic. Target the key threat, interrupt the crucial channel, create the opening your team needs.
Be the Catalyst
Your attack speed aura makes every ally stronger. Position to buff your carry, multiply your team's damage output exponentially.
Patient Predator
Wait for the perfect moment. Your cooldowns demand precision. A single well-timed roar is worth ten hasty ones.

Análisis de habilidades
Wild Axes
ActivaBeastmaster lanza sus hachas en una trayectoria curva, dañando a cada enemigo que atraviesan. También aplican un debuff de amplificación que incrementa el daño recibido de todas las fuentes.
Notas: Úsalo para talar árboles y mejorar visión y para aplicar amplificación antes de iniciar. El debuff acumula con cada impacto y funciona en Roshan. Sirve para farmear campamentos de jungla eficientemente.
Call of the Wild
ActivaBeastmaster invoca un compañero animal. Invoca un Hawk para visión o un Boar que ralentiza enemigos con sus ataques.
Notas: Hawk ofrece control de visión y exploración excelentes. Boar no atrae aggro de creeps, permitiendo acoso seguro. Mantén vivas las invocaciones: su cooldown es significativo. Usa la visión del Hawk para detectar ganks y preparar Primal Roar.
Inner Beast
PasivaLa ferocidad interior de Beastmaster irradia, otorgando velocidad de ataque a él y a aliados cercanos.
Notas: Te hace valioso en cualquier pelea, especialmente para carries de básicos. Colócate en el centro para maximizar la aura. Funciona sobre tus invocaciones, volviendo al Boar aún más amenazante.
Primal Roar
ActivaBeastmaster suelta un rugido ensordecedor que empuja y aturde a la unidad enemiga objetivo, empujando y dañando enemigos cercanos en línea.
Notas: Tu herramienta de iniciación definitiva. Úsala para atrapar objetivos clave o escapar. El empuje afecta a todos en la línea; apunta para golpear múltiples. Puede aturdir mensajeros y romper canalizaciones.

Estrategia de juego
Early Game
Timeframe: 0-15 minutes Objective: Establish lane dominance and vision control Key: Use Hawk to spot ganks and provide vision; Harass with Boar - it doesn't draw creep aggro; Use Wild Axes to cut trees for vision and apply damage amp; Focus on last hitting and protecting your summons Items: Power Treads (stats and attack speed); Blink Dagger (mobility); Magic Wand (mana sustain) Tips: Position Hawk safely - it can draw creep aggro before 5 minutes; Use Wild Axes on nearby treeline for better vision; Keep your Boar alive - it has a long cooldown; Stack camps with Wild Axes for later farming
Mid Game
Timeframe: 15-30 minutes Objective: Initiate teamfights and control objectives Key: Use Blink + Primal Roar for initiation; Maintain vision with Hawk for Roshan and pushes; Apply Wild Axes damage amp before team engages; Push towers with summons and team buff Items: Blink Dagger (essential for initiation); Aghanim's Scepter (permanent summons); Pipe of Insight (magic protection) Tips: Wait to summon Boar after Blink to keep it safe; Aim Primal Roar like a skillshot to hit multiple enemies; Use Hawk vision to set up ganks; Inner Beast aura benefits your carry immensely
Late Game
Timeframe: 30+ minutes Objective: Perfect initiation and team utility Key: Save Primal Roar for critical targets; Use vision control to catch enemy rotations; Provide attack speed aura for team; Split push with summons when needed Items: Refresher Orb (double roar potential); Shiva's Guard (armor and utility); Assault Cuirass (team armor and attack speed) Tips: Primal Roar can break channels even if not the primary target; Position carefully - you're the team's vision provider; Wild Axes amp helps your carry burst down targets; Consider Refresher for game-changing double roars
Consejos y estrategias
Vision & Summons
- Use Wild Axes to cut down trees near lane for improved vision and gank prevention.
- The Boar never draws lane creep aggro, allowing continuous harass without retaliation.
- Hawk draws creep aggro before 5 minutes - be careful with positioning during this time.
- Always kill enemy summons first as Beastmaster's animal army is his strength.
Wild Axes Mastery
- The damage amplification debuff works on Roshan - apply it before your team engages.
- Debuff stacks with each axe hit and refreshes duration, making it valuable in prolonged fights.
- Use axes to farm jungle camps efficiently and stack multiple camps.
- Can be used to scout around corners with the throwing animation.
Primal Roar Execution
- Aim like a linear skillshot to hit multiple enemies in the line of fire.
- Units in the AoE are fully disabled during knockback, breaking channels even if not primary target.
- Can stun couriers but won't damage them - useful for courier sniping.
- Wait to summon Boar after Blink-Dagger initiation to keep it safe during teamfights.

Guía de contra
Good With
Beastmaster synergizes best with heroes who can capitalize on his initiation and attack speed buff. Magnus creates devastating combos with Reverse Polarity after Primal Roar, while Invoker can land perfect Sunstrikes on roared targets. Earthshaker benefits from Beastmaster's ability to group enemies for massive Echo Slams, and Phantom Assassin thrives with the attack speed aura from Inner Beast. Tidehunter provides additional initiation with Ravage, creating multiple disable opportunities. Sniper can safely assassinate roared targets from distance. The key is heroes who need time to set up abilities or benefit from attack speed - Beastmaster creates the perfect environment for both.
Bad Against
Beastmaster struggles against heroes who can neutralize his summons or disrupt his game plan. Bane and Shadow Demon can quickly eliminate Beastmaster's animal companions with Brain Sap and Soul Catcher. Invoker with EMP and Cold Snap can pressure Beastmaster's limited mana pool. Razor and Viper excel at kiting Beastmaster while his summons are on cooldown. Winter Wyvern can turn Beastmaster's army against himself with Winter's Curse. Lifestealer can Feast through Beastmaster's tankiness. Necrophos with Ghost Shroud makes Beastmaster's physical threats useless. The pattern is clear: heroes who can kill summons efficiently, drain mana, or kite at range all pose significant threats.
Good Against
Beastmaster dominates heroes who rely on positioning, channeling, or are vulnerable to sustained damage. Channeling heroes like Crystal Maiden (Freezing Field), Witch Doctor (Death Ward), and Enigma (Black Hole) become easy targets for Primal Roar interruption. Illusion heroes like Phantom Lancer and Naga Siren struggle against the wild axes damage amplification and boar slows. Squishy supports such as Sniper, Drow Ranger, and Crystal Maiden are easily caught with Blink + Primal Roar. Position-dependent heroes like Tinker and Techies lose their safety when suddenly roared. Beastmaster's superior vision control makes him excellent against heroes who rely on surprise or positioning advantages. His combination of reliable initiation, vision control, and team utility makes him a nightmare for these vulnerable hero types.
