* Even though Chen can take control of the Boar from 
Call of the Wild Boar at any time with 
Holy Persuasion, which could put Beastmaster in a disadvantage against Chen. Skilled Beastmaster can buy 
Helm of the Overlord to regain control of it to counter this problem.

Bloodthorn to prevent Chen from taking control of the Boar from Call of the Wild Boar and make Chen more vulnerable to Beastmaster.
