Treant Protector

Rooftrellen the Treant Protector is a melee Strength Hero who excels in supporting and strengthening his allies with his beneficial set of spells using the power of nature. He is a natural Tank, offensively and defensively, having both the highest natural attack damage, and the second highest overall Strength in the game. Manipulating the power of the plants at his will, he can grant invisibility and stealth to himself and his allies with Nature's Guise, replenish their health with Leech Seed which also slows and damage his prey. His Living Armor bless his allies with natural protection, giving them bonus health regeneration and damage block. His scariest feature is Overgrowth, though it doesn't deal damage, Rooftrellen summons vines, braches and roots to entangle his enemies, making them helpless and unable to attack for a long time.

Tips

 * Using Nature's Guise on allies during a gank gives them the element of surprise, and owing to the extremely variable nature of this mechanic the enemy team will struggle to use Sentry Wards to prevent this.
 * Although he is quite tanky, his offensive output is very minimal and once he has initiated with Overgrowth he should conceal himself, firing Leech Seeds from nearby trees (keep in mind at all times that Roof can use abilities without breaking his invisibility).
 * In a gank, use Nature's Guise to sneak around behind the enemies, as if Leech Seed is used on an enemy running towards you instead of away from you escape will be almost impossible; to say nothing of Overgrowth.
 * In most circumstances Rooftrellen is most wisely built to maximise his abilities' usage, his lack of mobility and damaging spells mean he is best suited to securing kills for his allies via his slowing and disabling abilities.
 * A Soul Ring is a good early pick-up for Rooftrellen, as it allows him to spam his Leech Seed as an effective harassment tool while also healing off the damage from the Soul Ring. It also helps solve his mana problems early to mid game.

Trivia
