With an apparent flop on its release on February 2022, Dota 2 administered a buff patch on its recently released 7.31 gameplay patch.
In an article by One Esports, Primal Beast's win rate upon release plummeted to 40% despite being an initiator and damage dealer both famous in destroying enemy Ancients.
Skill Sets
To fully acquaint you with what this hero can really offer in your Immortal rank grind, in reference to Dota 2 Wiki's description of its hero Primal Beast, the following are its skills, updated with the most recent patch, and the suggested itemization.
The patch includes the hero's turn rate increase from 0.5 to 0.6 - a slight increase that matters in the micro plays this beast will get caught into.
Onslaught
This Onslaught skill portrays what its name has to offer. Primal beast charges to run roughshod in a specific direction that knocks back stuns, and damages enemies along the way; the knockback can also be in affect this beast's allies.
Moreover, its Onslaught skill has been buffed as the run speed was increased from 1150 - 1200.
Trample
Primal Beast's trample skill creates a quagmire of successive damage as this champion plods its feet thoroughly into the ground dealing massive area-of-effect damage.
The patch regarding this skill comprises the mana cost decreased, cooldown decrease, and the luscious base damage increase - all the more motive of Dota 2 to perhaps introduce the owner of this skill into this Multiplayer Online Battle Arena (MOBA) game's metagame.
Uproar
Primal Beast connects its inner monstrous nature as every damage taken corresponds to a stacking Uproar that ultimately can slow the enemy upon casting on top of the physical damage attributes it gives; the real deal about this passively active skill was that the duration of the stack was increased for five more seconds - Yes, that is five more seconds of pain under this monster's watch when you happen to bump him down the lane.
Pulverize
Being the beast it is, Primal Beast chomps a selected enemy hero unit and slams it repetitively on the ground with the effect of mini stuns in the area of casting.
Is Aether Lens a viable item for this beast? Well, the new patch seemingly hinted to do build that item on this hero as the Pulverize's casting range can now be increased by the items responsible for doing so.
Rock Throw
Primal Beast literally tosses rocks that both deals damage and stuns the enemy units caught in its area of effect.

Item builds
In the same article by One Esports, the best Primal Beast item build was listed below as per the quotation of the professional Dota 2 talents.
Phase/Tranquil Boots
The boots apt for Primal beast is dependent of the role it plays in a specific game; it has been noted that if your Primal Beast bore a core-type role, Phase boots will be a perfect match, if, otherwise, it is a support-type Tranquil boots is more suggested.
Bracer
Apparently, there is no more perfect early game economic build than two bracers as said in the same article, its bonuses are now doubled before the 25th minute mark of the game.
Soul Ring
Despite the patch having done some considerable adjustments with its mana cost, the innate explosiveness of Primal Beast's skillsets calls for plenty of maa to burn; so, you may want to invest in one.
More suggested items include Blink Dagger, Black King Bar, and Aghanim's Shard which are quite game-pace reliant items that may make or break your momentum in the game. After all, it is up to your mechanics and playing style as to what builds are appropriate for the hero.
