Tips and Tricks
Timbersaw’s lack of disables is one of his disadvantages; he struggles against heroes that are skilled at casting spells to hurt their opponents. In this situation, give him a weapon with a rapid disable, such as Eul’s Scepter of Divinity.
Timbersaw’s skill set not only allows for escape but also effective pursuing. To make your path wider and possibly even to avoid juking, cut down any trees that are in the way.
When pushing, fell trees near towers to see adversaries teleporting in to protect.
Timbersaw’s Ability
WHIRLING DEATH
Extremely sharp edges are whirled by Timbersaw, hurting nearby foes and decimating trees. If an opponent hero is impacted, it temporarily loses some of its major attribute. Per tree destroyed, Whirling Death will deal more damage.

REACTIVE ARMOR
Timbersaw increases his health regeneration and armor every time he is attacked. Heroes give out twice as much.
