Karroch the Beastmaster is a melee strength hero whose unique power takes the form of summons with exaggerated unit utility. His thralls provide extreme amounts of sight and have ability to reduce the attackspeed of targeted units. In addition, he has the longest lasting single reliable stun in the game.
He is an effective support with good disabling ability in team fights. His strengths lie primarily in the slow debuff his Boar inflicts and ability to easily provide vision at crucial locations on the map. His ultimate, the stunning Primal Roar and Wild Axesallow him to deal massive damage at a distance. Though he is able to easily take down undefended targets in the early game, most of his abilities do not directly combo with each other, although the debiliating effects he brings to a fight can greatly assist allies (along with his passive attack speed boost aura).
