Lore

Karroch was born a child of the stocks. His mother died in childbirth; his father, a farrier for the Last King of Slom, was trampled to death when Karroch was five. Afterward Karroch was indentured to the king’s menagerie, where he grew up among all the beasts of the royal court: lions, apes, fell-deer, and things less known, things barely believed in. When the lad was seven, an explorer brought in a beast like none before seen. Dragged before the King in chains, the beast spoke, though its mouth moved not. Its words: a plea for freedom. The King only laughed and ordered the beast perform for his amusement; and when it refused, struck it with the Mad Scepter and ordered it dragged to the stocks.

Over the coming months, the boy Karroch sneaked food and medicinal draughts to the wounded creature, but only managed to slow its deterioration. Wordlessly, the beast spoke to the boy, and over time their bond strengthened until the boy found he could hold up his end of a conversation—could in fact speak now to all the creatures of the King's menagerie. On the night the beast died, a rage came over the boy. He incited the animals of the court to rebel and threw open their cages to set them amok on the palace grounds. The Last King was mauled in the mayhem. In the chaos, one regal stag bowed to the boy who had freed him; and with Beastmaster astride him, leapt the high walls of the estate, and escaped. Now a man, Karroch the Beastmaster has not lost his ability to converse with wild creatures. He has grown into a warrior at one with nature’s savagery.

Pros and Cons

Pros Amazing Portable Ward Call of the Wild (Hawk) Longest Lasting Single reliable stun in the game. Can Cut Trees to Avoid Ganks. (Or set Ganks) Primal Roar Longest Reliable Stun in Game A Decent Pusher Durable in Teamfights

Cons Requires Micromanagement Somewhat Item-dependent Can't do much till reaches Level 6 Primal Roar Can't Carry.. Much :(

Teach me to be a Beast!

Wild Axes

Wild Axes is his first skill [Q] Which is a Target Point, meaning you point and he'll throw. It slices through enemy units and trees along their path. Each axe can hit an enemy once. since its a 13 Second Cooldown with 120 Mana Dont use it unless you have to get your First Blood or Escape with it thats why with Soul Ring It allows you to spam it, or Set up ganks, routes. Remember..

BE CREATIVE WITH IT

Its like... Fissure.. At least that's how I think of it.... It works on Ancients ! Use it to farm aswell if you are really low on farm (Or Stacking e.g. Luna) It goes through Black King Bar Linken's Sphere which could be Good or Bad depending on the situation
NOTES

*This ability destroys trees

*The flying axes give flying vision

Call of the Wild (Hawk)

Call of the Wild (Hawk)

His Second Skill[W] The Movable Ward!! with 15 Mana and 40 Second Cool down, and a 60 Second Duration You can summon 2 of them!, Whats better ? Call of the Wild + Lifestealer can make a N'aix Bomb! Boots of Travel works on it too! Remember to always move it around instead of keeping it in one place, either let it go to Roshan Pit, or scout runes... This can be a

Game Changer!

since it can scout for ganks to help out your teammates, or team pushes. Be wary that if it dies.. you pretty much gave the enemy free gold, so my advice is let it become invisible at level 3 to key areas (If they're pushing mid, or planning to rosh) You wont make full use of it till it can be invisible. Its good as dead with Diffusal Blade or Radiance
Notes
*The hawk gives 30/30/65/65 gold.
*Uses a 0.3 cast point instead of the normal 0.5 cast point.
*Will not destroy a previous summon if this ability is used again before the Hawk's duration expires.

Call of the Wild (Boar)

Call of the Wild (Boar)

His Third Skill [E] This little guy won't do much to be honest, but it can make a difference, At Level 1, he's not available..Same as Hawk 15 Mana Cost, 40 Second Cool down and 60 Second Duration. Good for harassing, Slowing the enemy it hits 20% (Lesser) / 35% (Greater) Movement AND Attack Speed with a duration of 3 Seconds, It could be purged by Dark Pact or Kills the Boar with Diffusal Blade or Radiance

NOTES:
The boar gives 26-38 gold.
Uses a 0.3 cast point instead of the normal 0.5 cast point.
Will not destroy a previous summon if this ability is used again before the Boar's duration expires.

Inner Beast

Your Passive [D] It grants you and everyone around 900 Radius Attack Speed 15/25/35/45 Its a nice passive, especially with Assault Cuirass which can help the team quite a bit! Tiny Legion Commander Sven Faceless Void Outworld Devourer Would love this passive! Hint: You could take 1-2 levels early if its needed for pushing, or teammates need it.

Primal Roar

This is your Ultimate [R]. IT WILL CRUSH YOUR ENEMIES , 4 Second Stun! Can be upgraded with Aghanim's Scepter with 45 Second Cooldown, and 200 Mana,

Be careful as it can shove enemies from the path! Don't be afraid to use it on tanks such as Pudge, Doom, Dragon Knight, etc. or Channeling ultimates/Key heroes Enigma, Sand King / Tinker, Anti-Mage, Faceless Void. Any hero near the Primal Roar with 250 Radius will get a Attack + Movement slow, 4 Second slow. 300 Damage. Your nightmare against this is Linken's Sphere Lets say Morphling with Linken's Sphere, let one of your teammates to break it. Pudge's Meat Hook and Dismember follow it up with Primal Roar could be nice to get a guaranteed kill! OH and it could be used on Animal Courier if any enemy hero wants to complete his core item or something.

Notes:
The slow and stun go through magic immunity, but the damage does not.
Only enemy units are shoved aside from the path of the roar.
Primal Roar can be used on Couriers, but won't do any damage since couriers are magic immune.

Side Note: Be very careful with Rubick's Spell Steal, which can destroy your entire team plan, summon Call of the Wild (Boar) after you use your Primal Roar

What should I "Carry" ?

Lets start boys

A must have for every team.. you can't continue without it!
Minor Healing... You can share tango with your carry to help him heal up a bit.
You will be harassed if you are laning with Melee heroes..
IF your carry isn't carrying one, you should have one or two if your lane will be harsh..
Best Item! If you have some gold left go for it!

A short Migration (Early)

Get them as soon as you can.. First 450 Gold
Nice against Bristleback, Zeus, Batrider and any other spammers.. hope you kept those Iron Branch
Spam those Wild Axes Cut trees, Harass! (Just be careful for your Health)

I stalk my prey (Core)

I went for Arcane Boots because you are support, even though Tranquil Boots is decent, health regen and all that, but you are a Tank. Arcane boots are the way to go! You are mana hungry! *NOM*
DON'T SKIP THIS You rely on your ultimate Primal Roar + Great Attributes from Aghanim's Scepter Don't SKIP IT!
Get it IF no other got it, If your team desperately needs it, Start building it after Arcane Boots. Not to mention in the Early Game, if you got the extra coin. Get a Buckler, then complete Mekansm, which I prefer Mekansm rather than Vanguard

'Nuff Said (Luxury)

Want to support your team more ? Go for this! -5 Armor for enemies when they're near... Hyperstone as a first item.. If you cant reach it Platemail is always a nice pickup
An Alternative for Assault Cuirass Great Intelligence, Slow, Movement (When Active) + Attack Speed Slow Aura. Use it against heroes who destroy your mana Anti-Mage, Outworld Devourer, etc..
This item is too good to pass on,One of the best items in the game in my opinion +35 Intelligence, +10 Strength and Agility, 150% Mana Regen. And most Importantly Hex Turns the target into a pig for 3.5 seconds.. Disables damage block,evasion, 140 movement speed If you somehow in the lead, get it!
You might be right now.. "HUH?". Yeap.. Orchid is very good. Mana Regen, Attack Speed, Intelligence, and Damage. What Beastmaster needs with Orchid Malevolence, not to mention 30% amplified damage + Silence when its used on someone! Call me a fool, but I ain't no tool!

This Way! (Situational)

I almost wanted it to add it as a core, but you can push very well with Wild Axes, I'm not saying its wrong Go for it! if you are against Riki, Bounty Hunter, Clinkz, Upgrade it till level 3!, Not to mention the stats or it are INCREDIBLE! Note: Enchantress, Chen can take your Necronomicon Warrior and Necronomicon Archer Thanks to their Enchant and Holy Persuasion
MAP HACKS... Not enough ? Okay :c ...
if your Call of the Wild (Hawk) Not enough or there are more key spots to put the 'eye' on, Observer Ward are nice.. and always are (Shout out to Lich)
If your team needs need Magic Resistance. Get this after your core, although its worth adding that Hood of Defiance makes Beastmaster more tanky! Also an alternative to Mekansm if any of your teammates pick it up, like Outworld Devourer or Clockwerk
Does Wonders! that you can't even imagine... Although you have to have 725 Mana to spam all your spells. VERY VERY SITUATIONAL, you shouldn't get it every game you play. Mainly you use Refresher Orb due to Primal Roar if you want to stun two heroes! Lets say Phantom Assassin and Slark so you can beat the **** out of them
You'll be contributing a lot in team fights, either your teammates lose health, looking for ganks, etc. Urn of Shadows is always nice to carry with a nice mana regen + health regen to allies and enemies.
A good item to assist allies, and push waves. Anti-Mage, Desolator Clinkz. Not much to say if your team needs a little lifesteal, go for it, and maybe roshy ?
This item with Primal Roar will help you a lot for positioning! If you got Extra Gold, Go for IT!, Amazing if you got some position issues... wayyy better than Force Staff
A lovely item! Survivability, Movement and Attack Speed! 1 For each team.. you don't want to have multiple of these babies! If no one got them in your team, You should get it, or tell them to get it. Heroes such as Bounty Hunter, Luna, Naga Siren should get these. Tell them to unless they're going a different build.
At some point you have to get this, Stuns such as Slithereen Crush, Burrowstrike, Impale, Ice Path will screw you over, or Silences such as Silence Crippling Fear Global Silence Last Word since the enemy will have to shut you down first, then your teammates!

My wild friends welcome me! (Allies) |You should pray. You are prey. (Counters)

Allies for Beastmaster

Allies for Beastmaster heroes who want his Primal Roar to finish stun the enemy, support each other and benefit a lot from Call of the Wild (Hawk), Call of the Wild (Boar), mobility, pushing and much more. I'll mention some cause possibilities are endless!

Your best friend, Call of the Wild (Hawk) will make him gank every time his Infest is off cooldown, Primal Roar is all he needs to kill his enemy with all 4 seconds he want, Open Wounds and your Call of the Wild (Boar) wont make the enemy escape! + Inner Beast will benefit alot from you

.

He benefits from you in 2 ways. Call of the Wild (Hawk) and Primal Roar thanks to his Boots of Travel, not much to say that he can push in many ways!
With this guy, a lot of combinations, Midnight Pulse => Black Hole => Primal Roar => Wild Axes, or pushing, or harassing.. Possibilities are endless! (Sort of :s)
Inner Beast + Degen Aura will make things opposite.. Repel on Beastmaster makes him comfortably roam around and Primal Roar without any stuns or silences and Purification on Call of the Wild (Hawk) enemies will be wtf? Not to mention his amazing ultimate Guardian Angel
Pretty good to lane with! Lunar Blessing + Inner Beast, Wild Axes + Lucent Beam, and more! Not to mention you could Stack Ancients, which you'll fully make Luna Farm! and bring the GG!
Primal Roar is more than enough for Slark to get enough Essence Shift from the enemy, Pounce and Dark Pact to clean the job!

You should pray. You are prey. (Counters)

Enemies that you can crush!
As much as he's a friend, you can easily shut him up with Primal Roar even with Black King Bar, Careful that he can get Linken's Sphere and you can't do nothing about it to turn it in cooldown!

Blink Dagger against this guy! He'll hide somewhere.. Thanks to your Call of the Wild (Hawk) you can see him, Blink Dagger into his face and Primal Roar! FUS RO DAH! .. no ? okay moving on :c

An odd one eh ? instead of him dodgin' yo' **** Primal Roar him.. Careful that if he's fully fed. No doubt he'll go Linken's Sphere especially new experienced Storm Spirit

Bit off more than I could…chew. (Foes)

Foes of Beastmaster

Silences and Chainstuns suck! No one likes to get silenced for 3 seconds or more and stunned till get Meat Hook or something

She will slow you Movement + Attack speed thanks to her [Untouchable] and Enchant Speaking of Enchant she can uses it on your Call of the Wild (Hawk), Call of the Wild (Boar) or Necronomicon. Whole lot of annoyances!
Another hero who'll make your gameplay a hell game. Holy Persuasion will take your summoned units! Thanks to his global ultimate Hand of God and Test of Faith (Teleport) which will guarantee one of his allies to go back to base. (Unless Sand King uses [[Burrowstrike) Anyways back to topic!
His Heartstopper Aura will kill stuff if he stands long enough, which is pure annoyance to Call of the Wild (Hawk), Not to mention that you'll be a key to the enemy and his ultimate Reaper's Scythe will ensure that you'll die! and he'll heal up thanks to his Sadist
as Pyrion Flax says: (he says the word, but due to this guide :P, lets make this clean shall we?) Lets see... Reduces armor thanks to his The Swarm, which Beastmaster lacks on, Amazing mobility Shukuchi, and after Primal Roar, your teammates should kill him, if not he'll just Time Lapse and runs away!. What else, oh a Linken's Sphere carries.. AND Radiance carrier which will Destroy your Summoned Units easily,A whole lot of annoyance, stay away from him.
If Weaver isn't enough of a problem, this water torrent is worse. A nuker thanks to Waveform and Adaptive Strike.. not to mention Linken's Sphere carrier AND Ethereal Blade WHAT THE ****!?!? Give me a break
Outworld Devourer He will crush you No joke. Arcane Orb to kill you, Astral Imprisonment to eat your Intelligence, and Sanity Eclipse to finish the job easily! He's not a natural Linken's Sphere holder, so.. phew! but Scythe of Vyse be careful with Outworld Devourer he'll make a nightmare, worse than Bane

Shout out to her Silence and Exorcism is hell annoyance Primal Roar then your team will gank her up.. then few seconds RAMPAGE!!!

You've made it!

WOW! You've made ! Congratulations!
