Hogger Hogg Wild Angles

Hogg Wild can be used to bounce back and forth between two blocks of impassable terrain, dealing damage to all enemies on its path. Hogger can also create another temporary block of impassable terrain by casting Loot Hoard on a target location, which opens up new angles for using Hogg Wild.

How to aim Hogg Wild if you want to capture a Mercenary Camp as fast as possible? The answer is different for almost every Mercenary Camp across all Maps because they have different statistics and they are surrounded by a different shape of impassable terrain. Use horizontal, vertical, or diagonal Hogg Wild angles to efficiently clear them.

This guide has been created with the help of Debug Mode, a special Sandbox for all Maps. If you want to test out our Hogg Wild angles on a specific Map that is not available as Sandbox in Custom Games, follow the instructions provided in our Debug Mode Guide.

When you want to clear Mercenary Camps, you can cast Hogg Wild between two parallel segments of impassable terrain (horizontally, vertically, or diagonally) or with the use of Loot Hoard on one side (horizontally or vertically).

Here are the recommended settings for efficiently clearing Mercenary Camps as Hogger:

• set your Keyboard Scroll Speed between 50% and 100%;
• disable Camera Follow (even if only temporarily);
• enable Force Move;
• configure Camera Turn hotkeys (only for diagonal paths).

50% Keyboard Scroll Speed is nice for placing Loot Hoard as close as possible after tapping an arrow key. 100% Keyboard Scroll Speed is nice for quickly moving the camera away before casting Hogg Wild.

If you prefer to play the game with Camera Follow enabled, you can press the [L] key to temporarily disable it, clear Mercenary Camps as explained here, and then press the [L] key again to re-enable Camera Follow.

Force Move helps a lot because it makes it impossible to accidentally issue a Basic Attack command instead of a Move command, so you will always move to the target location when you want to, even if there is an enemy there.

Sometimes, when trying to position for casting Hogg Wild, you will get body-blocked by Mercenaries. When that happens, you need to issue additional Move commands until Hogger reaches the desired location.

Camera Turn hotkeys are only useful for clearing Mercenary Camps where it is possible to bounce diagonally, however, in this guide we only recommend horizontal and vertical paths because they are easier to execute and similarly good.

To clear Mercenary Camps with the aforementioned settings:

1. choose the Hogg Wild path you intend to use;
2. if the path is diagonal, use your Camera Turn hotkeys to make it horizontal or vertical;
3. send Hogger to the starting position and do not move your mouse cursor;
4. use the arrow keys to slightly move your camera in the direction you want to cast Hogg Wild;
5. if the path is horizontal or vertical, cast Loot Hoard;
6. use the arrow keys to further move your camera in the direction you want to cast Hogg Wild;
7. cast Hogg Wild;
8. press the [Space] key to reset your camera position to where Hogger currently is;
9. when appropriate, press the [E] again to stop bouncing;
10. spread your Basic Attacks so that all Mercenaries have about the same Health remaining;
11. finish them off with Ez-Thro Dynamite and Staggering Blow.

You can also use the [Shift] modifier to queue up Hogg Wild while Hogger is still moving to the starting position, so that he will immediately cast it once there.

The best Hogg Wild angles are horizontal or vertical because they can be combined with Loot Hoard for covering a small area with Hogg Wild and then continue by covering a bigger area when Loot Hoard ends. You also need Mercenaries to be grouped as much as possible, so that they all take damage from Hogg Wild at the same time.

While the general idea behind all the Hogg Wild angles is the same, you need to learn all of them because they are all slightly different from each other. The difficulty changes based on how much impassable terrain is surrounding them, if there are horizontal or vertical angles to use, and how much Health and damage output the Mercenaries have.

You have to use Hogg Wild to bounce horizontally. You start bouncing on Loot Hoard and then, once it expires, you continue bouncing on impassable terrain. Press the [E] key again when the damage from Staggering Blow and Ez-Thro Dynamite can finish them off.

You can drink from the Healing Fountain right before starting to clear this Mercenary Camp. The healing over time will keep you healthy against potential invades from the enemy team.

You have to use Hogg Wild to bounce horizontally on Loot Hoard. Press the [E] key again when it expires, otherwise you will move too far from the Mercenary Camp and lower your damage output.

Even though Hogger can clear this Mercenary Camp alone, the most efficient way to clear it is to let Hogger kill the 2 Fallen Hounds while an allied Hero with good single-target damage kills the Fallen Shaman. Hogger alone will bring the Fallen Shaman down to 50% maximum Health.
