Dota 2 Pudge Meat Hook Guide

Dota 2 Pudge Meat Hook Guide

It’s time to get back into the groove of rolling out more guides for Valve’s Defense of the Ancients 2. The latest guide focuses on the the strength hero (even though he looks like a villain) Pudge. This guy is appropriately known as “The Butcher”, giving gamers a meaty character who can hook, rip and shred opponents to pieces while taking equal amounts of damage that he can dish out.

Pudge may look like a tank but he’s all about lane damage. The guy was built for PvP and designed to deal massive damage. Wielding his undeniably powerful meat hooks and utilizing skills that would make the vomit of something visceral shriek in fright, Pudge is a fear-inducing opponent on the battlefield in the hands of someone who knows how to utilize his Mortal Kombat skills effectively.

A short guide from Xeonus lays out all the details you need to build a strong and pwn-worthy Pudge. He focuses on how important it is to utilize the Meat Hook skill, since it’s a lot like Scorpion’s harpoon from Mortal Kombat, but it’s also non-targeting, so you’ll need to exercise actual timing and precision to nab players with righteous fury.

You can check out the guide below.

As mentioned, you’ll want to utilize Pudge’s skills as you’re laying the smack down on opponents, since skills like Rot will take Pudge’s own health as he’s trying to bring the hurt to his opponents.

Xeonus suggests that it’s important to focus on maxing out the Meat Hook first since that’s Pudge’s first and foremost way to achieving victory in early, mid and late game. Flesh Heap will come in handy later on, but you’ll want to buff Meat Hook with the appropriate items so you can yank and gank like a pro.

It might be best to practice some of Pudge’s Meat Hook strikes before joining up on the public games so you can have a sound idea of where you need to throw the chain and how you need to get them… hooked.
