Tiny

Tiny is a Melee Hero with powerful ganking potential. Using Avalanche in conjunction with Toss allows for massive amounts of damage as well as a long area of effect stun. Those foolish enough to attack him may be rewarded with a stun from his passive ability Craggy Exterior. Although at first he may live up to his name, he will gradually grow in size and power with his ultimate, Grow. While fragile early game, he will soon turn into a hulking behemoth with massive health and damage output. Tiny is recommended for intermediate players.

Tips

 * By using Avalanche and then using Toss as soon as you can on an enemy hero it provides the maximum amount of damage that can be done to a single enemy using your spells.
 * The Blink Dagger is the perfect item to get on Tiny as it helps him gank consistently early game and pick up more kills and escape if needed.
 * When leveling your skills early game it is better to max your Avalanche and Toss to gain more kills early game, if you don't feel confident enough to hit a "Combo" than ask a team mate with a stun, such as Crystal Maiden or Vengeful Spirit, to use their stun first.
 * At close range, tossing a unit at itself will do extra damage, as the tossed unit will receive both tossed unit damage and the damage from being struck by toss. Use this extra burst to finish off heroes when avalanche is on cd.
 * Early game, tossing an allied initiator such as Slardar or Earthshaker at foes can set their skills up perfectly.
 * Once you pick up a Blink Dagger, it can be a useful strategy to blink in and then toss an enemy back towards your waiting allies.

Trivia

 * Tiny's quote "Tiny Smash!" is a reference to the comic book superhero The Incredible Hulk.
 * Tiny is the only hero in Dota 2 that is able to wield a weapon (in his case a Tree) when built with Aghanim's Scepter.
