Tips and Tricks
Gyrocopter is a bit flimsy and depends on objects to survive battles. Considering that he lacks a natural capacity to flee and is an agile hero with average health.
As a ranged hero with a limited attack range, he has less of an edge in a direct man-to-man battle with opposing carriers without a gold advantage once the enemy carry gains spell immunity.
He may start a gank and take down heroes with his teammates by leveling Rocket Barrage and Homing Missile.
