_______________________________________________

Read the whole page about Tiny with all his notes!

Avalanche
Bombards an area with rocks, stunning and damaging enemy land units.

Toss
Tiny grabs the nearest unit, friend or foe, and launches it at a location. Upon landing, the unit deals damage in an area. It also receives an extra 20% of the area damage itself, or more as your size increases.

Craggy Exterior
Tiny's body is made of solid granite, causing great pain to those who attack it. Whenever a unit within 300 range attacks Tiny, there is a chance that they will be stunned for 1.2 seconds.

Grow!
Greatly increases Tiny's power and size, but does so at the cost of his attack speed. Increases Toss's damage, and slightly improves Tiny's movement speed.

Note:
Of course you can skill Toss first if you think with the upgraded range of Toss you can throw your enemy into the tower range ( + Avanlanche). Like this!

Against nukers you should skill Stats instead of Craggy Exterior


IV. Items
_______________________________________________

Start Items:





Your start items should be something that improves your stats to be able to use both skills from level 2 and some mana/hp-reg.

Core Items:



Int treads -> 70 ms + 16 int (10 str)
Dagger to kill easily low-hp enemies.
Bootle/Magic Wand to have more mana for gangs



Luxury Items:




V. Strategy
_______________________________________________

Lanes to chose
Dual lane: Dual lane is the best lane for Tiny at start. With Avalanche and Toss you can get kills fast with a mate.

Solo: Without a teammate Tiny isn't as good as possible.

Jungle: Don't jungle at start. From level 8 you can go into the jungle if you want. Late game you can farm really good in the jungle with Arcane Ring.

Best lanes for Tiny (your side) are: (Sentinel) Bottom and (Scourge) Top lane because then you can Toos the enemies hero into the tower range and stun him easily.
