Tiny’s Ability
AVALANCHE
Bombards an area with rocks, continously doing small intervals of damage and stun to enemy units. Avalanche does 2.5x damage to units being tossed.
TOSS
Grabs the nearest unit in a 275 radius around Tiny, ally or enemy, and launches it at the target unit or rune to deal damage where they land. If the tossed unit is an enemy, it will take an extra 30% damage.
TREE GRAB
Grabs a tree to whack enemies on the head for a limited number of attacks. Grants bonus attack range. Attacks deal more damage and fully splash on units along the way. The tree can be thrown, to deal your attack to a unit at a distance.
GROW
Tiny gains craggy mass, increasing his attack damage, and armor, while slowing his attack speed.
TREE THROW
Throws the tree at the target unit, proccing your attack on it and splashing damage around the target.
TREE GRAB – SHARD ABILITY UPGRADE
Causes Tree Grab to have no charge limit.
TREE VOLLEY – SCEPTER GRANTS NEW ABILITY
Tiny channels this ability to throw random trees within range towards the targeted aoe. Deals Tiny’s attack damage plus a bonus to enemies in that area with each tree thrown.
Tiny’s Skill Order
Skill Order: Grow -> Avalanche -> Toss -> Tree Throw.
Combo Tiny
Heroes combo: Tiny + Bloodseeker
Tiny’s Tips and tricks
Tiny suffers from low mana. In the early game, one ability or ability combo will often use up all his mana.
Tiny has high base attack damage, which makes last hitting a breeze.
Tiny has poor lane presence and should be supported by another hero if necessary.
Tiny’s absence of armor in the early game make him vulnerable to physical attacks.
Tiny has great strength gain, but poor intelligence and no agility gain.
A poorly farmed Tiny will become a burden to his team in the mid and late game.

Tiny’s Lore
Coming to life as a chunk of stone, Tiny’s origins are a mystery on which he continually speculates. He is a Stone Giant now, but what did he used to be? A splinter broken from a Golem’s heel? A shard swept from a gargoyle-sculptor’s workshop? A fragment of the Oracular Visage of Garthos? A deep curiosity drives him, and he travels the world tirelessly seeking his origins, his parentage, his people. As he roams, he gathers weight and size; the forces that weather lesser rocks, instead cause Tiny to grow and ever grow.
