Recommended Heroes

Axe

• Heart of Tarrasque stacks well with Axe's high health regeneration, and makes him significantly tankier. Additionally, it allows him to more easily use Berserker's Call several times in a team fight, due to its ability to quickly regenerate the large amount of health he will typically lose when casting this spell in a lategame situation.

Centaur Warrunner

• Because both Double Edge and Stampede both deal damage based on strength, Heart of Tarrasque's strength bonus is great for him. The health regeneration will allow him to use Double Edge against creeps freely, as well as allow him to build Return charges by tanking tower attacks.

Bristleback

• Heart of Tarrasque makes Bristleback much harder to take down, allowing him to dish out continuous damage with Quill Spray.

Chaos Knight

• Phantasms benefit greatly from Heart of Tarrasque, making them much harder to take down.

Dragon Knight

• Heart of Tarrasque's regeneration synergizes well with Dragon Blood bonus armor and regeneration.

Huskar

• Heart of Tarrasque helps Huskar quickly regain the health he expends to use his abilities, and makes him harder to kill once he's singled out an enemy with Life Break.

Phantom Lancer

• Heart of Tarrasque makes Phantom Lancer's illusions much more durable, and allows him to temporarily escape fights and come back after a short period of regeneration.

Phoenix

• Heart of Tarrasque helps Phoenix quickly regain the health it expends to use its abilities.

Pudge

• Heart of Tarrasque's strength stacks well with Pudge's strength gain from Flesh Heap, and amplifies the damage and healing from Dismember.

Spectre

• Heart of Tarrasque gives Spectre the tankiness to deal much more damage via Radiance and Dispersion.

Io

• With Tether's high heal transfer, Io can provide high healing to a single ally even during a fight by avoiding damage.

Others

• Tanks and initiators often buy Heart of Tarrasque for increased endurance:

• Abaddon
• Brewmaster
• Doom
• Magnus
• Night Stalker
• Sand King

• Slardar
• Tidehunter
• Timbersaw
• Tusk
• Undying

• Snowballing carries who deal persistent instead of burst damage often pick up Heart of Tarrasque in the late game to last longer in fights:

• Alchemist
• Anti-Mage
• Death Prophet
• Legion Commander
• Lycan

• Phantom Assassin
• Naga Siren
• Necrophos
• Razor
• Sven

• Terrorblade
• Ursa
• Viper
• Weaver
• Wraith King

Tips

• Heart of Tarrasque is effective against teams with a lot of burst damage.
• Heart of Tarrasque's strength bonus mostly benefits strength heroes. Agility or Intelligence heroes can consider an Eye of Skadi instead for tankiness.
• Heart of Tarrasque can quickly regenerate health after a team fight, allowing wielders to continue with other deeds without having to visit the Fountain to refill their health.

Trivia

• The name "Tarrasque" references the Tarrasque, an almost undefeatable monster in Dungeons & Dragons, which in return references the Tarasque, a mythological dragon-hybrid that was tamed by Saint Martha.
