How to play Pudge vs Puck

ADVICE

  • Puck attacks from range: 550 against Pudge's 175. Expect harass, and hook when Puck steps up to attack.
  • Puck is faster (290 movement speed against 280): hook from fog rather than chase.
  • Phase Shift is channeled. Puck stands still while channeling, which is a good moment for Meat Hook.
  • No Puck ability pierces spell immunity in the data: Black King Bar on Pudge blocks them.
  • Phase Shift has Puck's shortest base cooldown: 8 s at level 1. Expect it more often than the other abilities.
  • Dream Coil has the longest base cooldown: 75 s at level 1. Once it is used, Puck waits a while to use it again.
