Primal Beast relies on Uproar stacks built from every instance of hero damage over 50, then bursts with Onslaught, Rock Throw and the channeled Pulverize, which pierces spell immunity. Break stops new Uproar stacks, and Trample leaves him disarmed while it runs. Pulverize is a targeted channel, so a Spellblock block or an interrupt ends it.
Counter items
Silver EdgeBreak stops new Uproar stacks from building for 5 seconds.
Linken's SphereSpellblock can absorb the targeted Pulverize that spell immunity does not stop.
Abyssal BladeOverwhelm stun interrupts a Pulverize channel.
