                          Just go add cutnpaste or whoever blue star around here and pm them or some shit

                            high movespeed and decrepfy also helps him to survive, fast exp to get lvl 6 and kill carrier, but i dont feel like its right either

                                Can confirm, just add notable blue star on Dotabuff and get answers to questions easy. You don't have to filter and suspect the answers because you know they're from a good source. Cutnpaste does it when he's not in game.

                                          You either play him mid or offlane, hes not a lane support.

                                              the hero is super fast like faster than some heroes with boots when he doesnt have boots. His attack range is super far so he can hit the safe lane carry without triggering aggro creeps.

                                                  pugna is actually pretty hard to kill and go on
                                                  he can safely push out the wave and last hit creeps (impossible to deny against pugna once he gets some levels)
                                                  he can either force 1-2 supports to stay in the lane, or have them leave since they cant do anything so their carry dies

                                                  he is like dark seer except not useless in 95% of games

                                                  but you have to make sure the carry and supports in the lane dont counter you in some way, if they pick well against you, it is not like you will be able to accomplish t o much in that lane (you still should not feed tho)

                                                      Except 15 heroes, everybody else has 20 or lower ms. So pretty much hard to catch, as pugna will start with windlace and boots will be first buy.

                                                      Except 8 heroes, everybody has 30 or lower attack range. So hard to trade.

                                                      Can save herself with decreptify.

                                                          Pugna is fun hero

                                                          TEACH ME HOW TO LOSE (PLS)

                                                            watched a replay on pugna offlane it's too fun and you can't lose (almost)

                                                            dont be thrilled by this ...

                                                              for me, i wanna use his ability (nether blast) to farm which as a lane supp ill never use it for farm at least for 10 mins or more of babysitting. also this powerful magic can harass the shit out of enemy carry.
                                                              a farmed oblivion can make fast aether/aghs and other items and become a cancerous hero... aside with that, u get more exp and maybe some towers cuz u can just push with Q. its all about economy!
                                                              and he has no lockdown or silence ability and his slow makes enemy ethereal which most carries cant do dmg to em, so i cant consider him a good lane supp, except if theres a solo low hp offlaner to be ezily zoned out by your Q+W ...

                                                                ^pugna is actually an amazing lane support with juggernaut, decrep + spin just outright murders people, and people often underestimate how effective this is, not to mention that pugna can zone from huge range and can kite almost all offlane heroes

                                                                however what pugna can't take is a direct trade, meaning there's no way he trades directly with a windranger or a mirana or a melee hero that can actually close distance, hit him and builds PMS (like legion), since a lot of trading will have to be via right clicks as support pugna doesn't get a large mana pool fast, nor does it have good mana sustain (like a mid pugna would get)

                                                                    Melt

You need a frontlining mid or carry tho, he sits in the back in fights. Pick him with ranged elusive rightclickers and you get shit on by any half descent enemy probably
