Pugna - The Oblivion

Forcefully raised from the dead with little memory of his former self, Pugna is truly a terrible sight to behold. Retaining traces of necromantic magic, this shamble of bones finds sadistic pleasure in temporarly sending his enemies into a tormented dimension and greeting their return with a blast of unholy energy. Those who survived an encounter with the horror often tells tales with fearful eyes of how the Oblivion literally drains life from his enemies, giving him a brief, but satisfying taste of the living.

3 By ringostarrr 2006-10-16

nether blast anyone?! youll get every tower gold

4 By KtN+ 2007-01-01

pugna is my one of favorite heroes because of its ulti... its very powerful when used in the right time

5 By alve 2007-01-06

VeryVery powerful int hero, and i mean it, JUST INT hero, dont even try sange yasha or wadever attacker pugna strat you have in mind. very imba decreptify, pack a punch if this dude has dagon and necronomicon. ; )

6 By ZzDarkangeLzZ 2007-01-08

What is the weakness of this hero ?? pls reply asap.... i need ur answer... ^_^ juz mesage me here darkseraphim_666@yahoo.com or evn here.. only.. tnx..

7 By LETHAL 2007-01-15

Pugna's ultimate is a channeling spell: so the Life Drain can easily interrupted with stun...
BUT: if u get a BLACK KING BAR, you cant be "just" stunned during your ulti...
Just imagine, at Level 3, 9 seconds x 250 (with Scepter) hit point drain per second = 2250 DAMAGE!!! OMFG!!!
You are totally MAGIC IMMUNE and PHYSICALLY almost, because of the life draining magic... 10 seconds of DEATH!!!

8 By carlo_bulaner 2007-01-27

ASTEEG

9 By hatebreed 2007-01-27

I just love using pugna when i have allies with long stuns like Mirana. Stun,then drain to your heart's content!

10 By lupeman 2007-01-27

this heroes weakness = melee heroes who can windwalk or hav crazy high speed or can stun, slow or immobilize. u will always find this hero huggin a tank hero though

11 By Kobre 2007-02-09

Stunner heroes, can beat him ^__^

Note: life drain is a channeling spell haha

12 By Trigg3r 2007-02-26

i actrually love this hero, btw life drain lvl 3 with scepter is 300, i checked, it was pretty crazy, i tooked down a 3000 hp tank in 10 sec,

13 By icyjovial 2007-03-02

super gay ulti... yet i hurts... with aghanims its 300 Drained per second... ouch..

14 By hatebreed 2007-03-02

I can play well with this hero....just too powerful

15 By winning886 2007-03-04

He is easily countered by most heroes and items

16 By winning886 2007-03-04

Either stun him if yoiu can or just don't get too close to him when you know that he'll use his ultimate.

Black King Bar FTW.

17 By hatebreed 2007-03-09

okay so he's not the best hero I have usd but... yeah he can be easily countered. He is very item dependent, he needs good items to own. Just got owned 0-10 cos of too many stunners(Sand King,Lion) on the opposite. Damn... sould have bought BKB first thing..arrghh...damn pissed....

18 By droperivas 2007-03-09

I only must say that the worst enemy for this heroe is a linkens sphere. I have noticed that if one uses his life drain on a heroe with an activated linkens sphere, it does not only fail in draining life but also makes the pugna to remain still until the spell ends!, same happens to terrorblade. Thats obviusly the worst that can happen to you because you can easily get killed during the 9 seconds of the spell!

19 By lupeman 2007-03-09

dont use life drain as ur first attack then. use the other skills then lifedrain so the linkens charge is used

20 By deathincarnate9999 2007-03-25

I HAVE MASTERED PUGNA AND I MUST SAY THAT I KEEP GETTING A HUGE AMOUNT OF KILLS DUE TO THE COMBO OF DECRIPIFY, LIFE DRAIN AND NETHER BLAST. ALL I HAVE TO SAY THAT MOST PEOPLE THINK THAT PUGNA IS ANOTHER CREEP IN A CREEP SWARM SO THEY DONT NOTICE THE LIFE DRAIN AND THEY ALWAYS RUN WHENEVER PUGNA STOPS BECAUSE THEY KNOW THAT PUGNA WILL RELEASE A BLAST SO STRONG THAT EVERY GOLD GOES TO HIM. IN SHORT PUGNA IS A FARMER, PUSHER AND KILLER WHO OFTEN DOMINATES THE BATTLEFIELD

21 By hatebreed 2007-03-25

The maximum excess gold i had with pugna was about 4K gold and I did not have any more items to buy...I had everything i needed...too lazy for a dagon 5 though...
@deathincarnate: I dun agree that people think pugna is another creep...cos he's somehow different...I would have agreed if you said naix without hs feast ring below him, looked like a creep

22 By belveder 2007-03-25

Its normal was very high

23 By _noob28_ 2007-03-30

int heroes will die with nether ward

24 By corean 2007-04-02

that's Mr. Pugna :D

25 By _noob28_ 2007-04-09

Life drain... 250 Hp per second w/ aghanims.. WTF

26 By lupeman 2007-04-09

pugna = too much of an antimage/intel hero. decrepify really screws up melee heroes in early game. netherward screws up mages and rangers in early game. late game, he sucks ass though

27 By _noob28_ 2007-04-12

Pugna Rules...:p

28 By jakiro2123 2007-04-16

Decrepify + Dagon = Ouch!!

29 By The.King.Drink 2007-04-17

i agree:
1. nether ward
2. attack a few times
3. decrepify
4. dagon
5. nether blast while still in decrep
6. life drain (preferably with decrep if ready)
7. m-m-m-m-m-monster kill

dagon, aghanim's (450/s LD with decrep), BoT, guinsoo's, refresher if u want for double dagoning, and something of authentic choosing, as the game was always over at this point for me.

Note: Works well in conjuction with Pudge. decrepify then meat hook, rot, dismember, while life draining.

30 By The.King.Drink 2007-04-17

31 By ahillip 2007-05-17

another of the hero i like cause i always lost to him even taking zues.

32 By uki1 2007-06-02

Not a bad hero, ward is great but it can easily be confronted with hood of defiance + BKB(avatar) or MKB(30%stop channeling spells). He is good suport hero with mekansm, hex and ward so i would say that aghanim isn't best choice for pugna in 5vs5
(or heroes can have MKB,BKB or thay can just stop changeling your drain with storm bolt etc.)

33 By lupeman 2007-06-02

normally someone would buy BKB for him, so his ulti cant be disrupted.
very well balanced hero, but once ur enemy gets behind you, u cant escape (unless u get escape items)

34 By Some1 2007-06-08

I use pugna with dagon, algha, BoT, and HoT, is this good combo?

35 By Some1 2007-06-09

PUGNA!!!

36 By faacrema 2007-06-26

What means channelling spell?? can somebody tell me

37 By faacrema 2007-06-26

What means channelling spell?? can somebody tell me

38 By lupeman 2007-06-27

ummm... its channeling. as in once cast, u cant be stunned, move or attack anyone else

39 By TheNotorious 2007-07-03

well you can be stuned while channelling, but you cant move or do other spells or attack....

40 By gellato 2007-07-11

Troll warlord can easily counter him though.

41 By gellato 2007-07-11

Channeling spells are spells wherein you cant move when your casting it but if you move the spell will cancel or (correction lupeman you can get stunned) if you get stunned the spell will cancel.

42 By lupeman 2007-07-11

my bad, i meant to say u can get stunned.

43 By dark_nythe101 2007-07-11

if u decripify urself... can the fountain still hit you?

44 By Some1 2007-07-11

@dark_nyth101 LOL, i dunno, haven't tried great idea. But even if u decrep urself and able to get in the fountain, 3.5 secs wouldnt be enough for u to get back out since ur ultra slow in decrep mode

45 By greenghost 2007-07-19

46 By The.King.Drink 2007-07-20

considering pugna's generally low cooldowns, i've found he works well with a blink dagger. try it once if u like.

47 By zachtonz 2007-07-21

pugna's ulti needs assistance. cos 4 me.. i'll jz buy blink dagger or use a blink hero. and his ulti will be useless. If i'm playing team, i'll use vengeful, or centaur or rhasta to shackle or stun da opponent. While shackling or stunning, den use life drain.

48 By zachtonz 2007-07-21

Btw ...pugna's ulti can be stopped if he gets stun. So its not dat good ulti after all. That's why pugna's not my favourite hero.

49 By lupeman 2007-07-21

I remember the ulti being 22 second cooldown.
if this hero has no mana, its gg for him. he relies to heavily on mana.

50 By xXNoobVlasicXx 2007-07-22

imba ult

51 By jjshen 2007-07-23

if you run out of mana with pugna then you should stop buying non mana providing items

52 By sunshineman 2007-07-25

my combo is come from behind decrepify then use lifedrain all tha way

53 By ianA213 2007-07-26

can this combo kill??
Pugna=Decrepify +
Lina= Laguna Blade +
Lion= Finger of death =
??????????????????????

54 By sacredthread 2007-07-30

who is really good against this guy.
my friend always uses him and i need to counter it???

55 By oblivion08 2007-08-11

pugna rocks!!! don't underestm8 this dude. pop in aghanims and blow away ur opponents...

56 By oblivion08 2007-08-11

is dis a good combo?
decrepify behind (name of hero) +
blast + life drain w/ aghanim's

57 By lupeman 2007-08-11

life drain is so easy to counter, i dont understand why people love this hero so much. its only good against melee heroes who cant stun.
Items which can counter Life drain so easily
Lothars, blink dagger, bashers, mkb, guinsoo, euls scepter, bkb, bkb + manta style combo, bkb + necromicon combo.

58 By Some1 2007-08-13

2 secs is alot with algha already

59 By cafein 2007-08-17

i think this hero needs not much such items like aghanims or even guinsoo.u have to use ur skills in right time, then=gg for even heavy nukers/stunners.and i've noticed pugna has veery good ms 315 is kind of imba for an intelligent hero

60 By werehorse 2007-08-31

I heard that the first thing to equip for pugna is always dagon.Then,aghenims,Linken's,and upgrade dagon as the game continues. Don't forget BOOTS OF TRAVEL!

61 By furion1 2007-09-01

great farmer, support, and killer ", but his hp ahhhmmm errmmmm sucks! hehe ",

want a new ps3,walkman and mobile phone? go to this site, http://www.xpango.com?ref=90703599. thnks. referral id: 90703599 its totally free!

62 By The.King.Drink 2007-09-08

* BoT
* Dagon (as high lvl as possible)
* MKB
* Blink
* Guinsoo
* Aghanims

May i remind u that his ulti is just as good on creeps. i wouldn't consider it something that would kill the enemy.

63 By The.King.Drink 2007-09-08

i mean BKB, the one with the avatar, not MKB

64 By sulaji84 2007-09-25

well guys im thinking...can u do this combo:
decrepify + life drain (at least 3.5 secs) + hex + nether + decrepify (cd is over) +nether+dagon....tons of dmg?

65 By Roshanna 2007-11-07

this guy sucks...quite literally

66 By BinG 2007-11-07

oh yeh i think so too, he paper and his spells cant do very much either

67 By AXCELACCEL 2007-11-14

pugnas cool

68 By =Spider-Pig= 2007-12-18

hiya all, anyone know the range of "life drain"..?

i normally get guinsoo straight up then save up for Aghanims, at this stage speed is the only issue so boots of travel or just boots of speed and a blink dagger depending on the chars you are versing....dagon is also good to gurantee a kill..

Note: different attridutes are needed at certain stages of the game so dont be affraid to buy some parts first
(peserverance, early game then get refresher later)

End game listshould be;
-Guinsoo
-Aghanims
-Boot of Travel
-Dagon
-Lothars Edge
-Refresher

69 By ..BeyondGodLike.. 2007-12-19

pugna only needs bkb. coz without bkb, his ulti can easily be interrupted. if pugna gets bkb, he can suck the hell out of a hero. even tanks.

here is my build:

black king bar/linken's sphere
aganihm's scepter
eye of skadi
shiva's guard
dagon 5
boots of travel

70 By shadowturnip 2007-12-20

PUGNA RAPES WHEN PAIRED WITH EITHER PUCK OR BLOODSEEKER!!!!
if the enemy runs away from life drain, he'll get either stunned or take damage from rupture.

71 By galatasaray 2007-12-22

He is wonderful with a stunner hero

72 By ultraNoBz 2007-12-31

Decrepify +[Life Drain + with Scepter] = WTF!!!

73 By gerardine03 2008-01-10

74 By gerardine03 2008-01-10

items for pugna

1.dagon 5
2. aganims

76 By DOT@ 2008-01-20

77 By Jimbob91100 2008-01-22

lol netherblast, imba
325 dmg, 100 dmg to towers 5.5 sec cd

78 By dr_giggles 2008-01-22

most of you guys underestimate his ward, that kiks ass. in early game in mid lane it shuts down any chance that the enemy has to push the tower. no mana = they do jackshit

79 By galatasaray 2008-01-24

BoT
Guinsoo
Dagon 5
Aghanims
HoT
Lothars

80 By Divine_Raper 2008-01-27

My personal item build at order is linken(mana regen & for stunnerz),BoT(for matching his great MS), BKB (self-explanatory), Sagimis scepter (for super gay ulti) ,Lothars(For ulti again),if any chance Dagon

84 By tiberiumlord 2008-02-18

This guy's INT gain is like... OUCH! It is so high!

85 By k2decay 2008-02-19

agha,sheepstick,eul,dagon,BoT,BkB.

use bkb, then use eul and cast nether blast. Use BKB and use sheepstcik on enemy. Then use ur ulti right away. Go ahead of the enemy so u get advantage when they are running away. If they dont die use Dagon...Pureownage...and sheepstick has low cooldown XD

86 By edgarace 2008-03-04

Nice ulti, w/in 9 seconds you can deal great damage, and within 9 seconds, you can kill an enemy..
9 seconds x 300 (ulti with aghanims) = 2700 damage!!!! MAMAW!!!
