For the Drunken Master, there exists only a single cardinal rule: that booze shall flow, freely and indefinitely. At first apathetic to the Hellbourne threat, the Drunken Master leapt to action when a wise sage explained to him that should the Hellbourne overrun Newerth, there would be no more booze. Armed with expert combat techniques and fueled by questionable substances, the Drunken Master embodies that which is unpredictable and unyielding.
Drunken Master is a mobile Strength hero who is capable of delivering devestating blows to his enemies if he can manage to complete his combo. Staying on the move is key to playing Drunken Master, as Stagger will help you avoid many a threat and position yourself properly for a powerful punch.
