Competitive Role

Brewmaster is currently top-ban/top-pick material in the competitive scene.

Pros:
– Safest initiators/counter initiators in the game
– Strong from early to lategame, only drops in extreme-late game (>50 minutes)

Weaknesses:
– Vulnerable to hard disable
– Vulnerable to silence
– Mana issues

Laning: Solo against enemy solo, or dual-laned with support in any lane.

Item justification

Brewmaster revolves solely around his ultimate. Playing him as a DPS hero cripples you and your team.
Item goals:
– Increase Brewmaster mobility to get off a good ultimate
– Increase Brewmaster survivability to get off a good ultimate
– Secure Brewmaster mana to get off a good ultimate

Brewmaster has terrific base damage and animation, and decent health.

Starting with Quelling Blade, stats, and health regen, Brewmaster has a great laning phase against most heroes.

Laning will usually only suffer if you’re solo against two heroes with at least one disable.

Boots, bottle, and wand solve early game mana issues. Burst mana from wand is essential especially against mana-draining teams (Antimage, Invoker).

Blink is core for initiation.

Once Brewmaster picks up his core, his team can essentially force teamfights with pushes in safety.

Boot choice – Phase and arcane are both good choices.

When to pick phase boots:
– When you got off to a good early game, and most engagements are two/three hero engagements.
Phase boots allow you to continue pressing your advantage in last hitting and killing potential.
Only get phase boots if you have gotten your core and are still in early game (

Hero counters

Watch out for these kinds of heroes on the enemy team:

Long duration hard disables (Beastmaster, Rhasta)
Instant cast disables (Lion, Rhasta)
Silence (Nightstalker, Broodmother w/ Orchid, Silencer)
Blinks/Escapes (Antimage, Queen of Pain, Morphling)
Mana drain (Invoker, Antimage)

Special notes

Enigma black hole does not disable Brewmaster ultimate (extremely good counter)

Brewmaster ultimate does not reveal Smoke of Deceit (often used in competitive games to escape early Brewmaster ganks)

Gem and auras all work on Earth Spirit.

Brewmaster preferentially re-spawns on Earth, then Storm, then Fire spirit.
