How to counter Beastmaster

In lane

  • Clinkz
    • Death Pact can be used to instantly eat Summon Razorback and Summon Raptors. • Beastmaster has 2 starting armor and he is very susceptible to Searing Arrows harass.
  • Ranged carry + melee support, 6 in this group
    • Beastmaster needs to have a good lane to take over the game, but he really struggles against this lane combination.
  • Crystal Maiden
    • Frostbite kills Summon Razorback instantly, forcing him to either not skill Summon Razorback or give you experience and gold. • She has two very strong spells which can secure the kill early.

In game

  • Lane counters, 4 in this group
    • Beastmaster relies heavily on tempo and needs a good laning stage. By beating him in lane, you will delay his Helm of the Overlord or Aghanim's Scepter timings and if you pressure or block his jungle the game will be mostly over.
  • Dawnbreaker
    • Dawnbreaker can counter the Primal Roar initiation and save her ally with the global presence of Solar Guardian.

Items

  • Linken's Sphere
    • This item will block Primal Roar and Beastmaster has no other spells to pop the sphere.
  • Lotus Orb
    • This item will reflect Primal Roar, making Beastmaster unable to kill the target he roared while also shoving his allies away.
  • Crimson Guard
    • This item can help you block some of the physical damage of Beastmaster and his creeps.
