Nature's Prophet

Tequoia the Nature's Prophet (sometimes known simply as Prophet) is not your average intelligence Hero - he relies more on his strong physical attacks than his spells to take down enemy Heroes. Most commonly played as a pusher and jungler and rarely as a support, he can sometimes transition into a semi-carry role later in the game thanks to his damaging physical attacks, considerable attack speed, and superb farming ability. Nature's Prophet has an ultimate with a global range; coupled with the omnipresence that Teleportation gives him, he is easily able to assist in ganks and defenses at any time, no matter where he may be when they start - this same presence makes the Prophet a serious threat for enemies that leave their buildings unguarded.

Like other pushers, with proper map awareness and practice, he can clear hordes of creeps and destroy multiple towers unaided, gaining more gold and experience than many other heroes in the process. Failing to do so will completely ruin the potential that Prophet has. However, indiscriminate use of his abilities may deny farm for allied heroes. He is recommended for intermediate to advanced players.

Tips

 * Map awareness is especially important with Nature's Prophet. Always be on the lookout for opportunities to gank and push, or kill a low-HP fleeing enemy Hero.
 * Teleportation can be canceled intentionally to trick your opponents.
 * Teleportation can be used to kill the enemy courier just as well as weakened heroes - if the courier's location is known (perhaps from Clockwerk's Rocket Flare or a chance sighting), it may be a good idea to warp ahead and kill it before it can return to base.
 * Sprouting an enemy hero and using Nature's Call will surround your enemy in Treants; this is often far more effective offensively than simply leaving the trees for their short duration.
 * Sprout can be used on towers to block their vision and momentarily halt their fire. Consider casting it during tower dives or ranged pushes, if there's no better uses for it.
 * Wrath of Nature deals more and more damage as it cuts a swath through enemy units. With each unit passed and hit, the damage increases - Try to send it through as many creeps as you can before it strikes a Hero. This generally works by targeting the spell to the Top Lane if you want maximum damage dealt to the Bottom Lane and vice versa.
 * Make sure to always look out for your team mates. Help them when they are in trouble and assist them when they are trying to get a kill. However, do not Kill Steal.

Trivia

 * During the transition from the original DotA to Dota 2, one of Prophet's skills, Call of Nature, was renamed Nature's Call.
 * Nature Prophet's original name was Furion, a reference to the Malfurion Stormrage from the Warcraft universe. However, this had to be changed to avoid copyright laws.
