Dashes and rolls in to disrupt enemy movements

Eager to dash into danger at a moment's notice, the Pangolier thrives on disrupting enemy movements and placing himself in the midst of chaos. Artfully guiding his blade between cracks in armor and shrugging off attacks with his protective scales, this graceful swordsman is always ready to roll into battle.

Strategy

Secure last hits and damage the opponents at the same time with Shield Crash.

Swashbuckle applies an extra hit if you pass through the opponent.

Be careful after you expend Swashbuckle as opponents are more likely to go on you.

During Rolling Thunder, turn rate is slightly improved after Shield Crash has been used.

Once you have Blink Dagger, use it immediately before opponents are able to see it in your inventory.

When not much is happening or Rolling Thunder is on cooldown, push out sidelines.

Pangolier is great at enabling an early Roshan kill due to Lucky Shot armor reduction and attack speed slow chance.

Pick up Aghanims Shard later in the game as it gives you another survivability tool and reliably channel Rolling Thunder.

Counter Strategy

Pangolier has a low HP pool and is squishy. Pressure him early on, especially when Swashbuckle is on cooldown.

Pangolier's Rolling Thunder can be dodged by making sharp turns prior to impact.

Avoid fighting in choke spots and clumping up against Rolling Thunder.

Spell immunity items are great against Pangolier's disables and attack speed slow.

Spells and items that provide roots or leash, stop Pangolier from using Swashbuckle and Rolling Thunder.

Spell immunity piercing stuns are great at dealing with Pangolier's Rolling Thunder.

Items and spells that can dispel enemies are great at removing Shield Crash buff from Pangolier.

When Pangolier is about to hit you with Rolling Thunder, stand right at the edge of a high ground or low ground to avoid getting chain stunned.

Lore

The men and women that make up the Nivan Gallants live a life of swordplay, chandelier swinging, and tawdry romance. And while all adhere to their creed that “A life of adventure is the only life worth living,” the exploits of Donté Panlin still manage to raise the eyebrows of even the most hedonistic of swordsmen. There is no monster he won’t slay. No creature he won’t woo. No tyrant he won’t stand against. And no noble immune to his silver tongue.
