Grows in size and strength as battle ensues.
A curious being of animated stone, Tiny roams the world in search of his origins. Seemingly mild-mannered, the Stone Giant is nonetheless a force to behold as he brings down a multitude of Avalanches. He Tosses friends and foes alike across the battlefield, landing them on top of enemies and into the fray. Growing to tremendous size and strength as the battle progresses, Tiny's power can quickly become terrifying. Some have even claimed to witness the Stone Giant Wielding a Massive Tree, bludgeoning and Volleying Trees at a fortress until only rubble remained.

Bio

Tiny, the Stone Giant

▶️ "My enemies break upon me like surf upon the stone."

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.

Undispellable

Tiny's gargantuan stature allows him to catapult even the sturdiest of warriors.

• The tossed unit travels at a speed based on the distance between it and the target, capped at 2308.
  • The speed does not instantly adapt if the distance changes, but rather accelerates or decelerates at a slow rate.

• Can toss any unit, except for Couriers, ancient creeps, buildings, and wards.
  • Invisible enemy units cannot be tossed, but they can still take damage from a unit being tossed onto or near them.
  • Units in the Fog of War can be tossed if they are within the 300 grab radius of Tiny, but cannot be selected as a target.
  • Cannot target buildings, but they take 27/53/80/107 damage if within the damage radius.
  • Can directly target and toss the target towards runes, but cannot toss runes.
  • Cannot toss allies who have ☐ Disabled Help from Tiny if they are the only valid target.

• Toss deals a total of damage (before reductions) at the following Grow levels to units and buildings respectively:
  • LEVEL 1
    180/260/340/420 ( 59.99/86.66/113.32/139.99)
  • LEVEL 2
    280/360/440/520 ( 93.32/119.99/146.65/173.32)
  • LEVEL 3
    380/460/540/620 ( 126.65/153.32/179.98/206.65)

• The tossed unit can be avoided by blinking or moving rapidly, but cannot technically be disjointed.
  • This means the tossed unit can fly up to 3000 range away when the target teleports far enough away.

• Toss' modifier is hidden in the HUD.
  • It persists through the target's death, so it continues flying and still applies the area damage upon landing.

• The affected target is disabled and prevented from acting.
  • While tossed upwards and other units may pass below the airborne unit.

• Destroys trees within a 100 radius around the tossed unit upon landing.

• Triggers Empower Spell against a targeted enemy if it is not the same unit that is being tossed.

• TALENT
  • The Toss requires no target talent turns Toss into an area-targeted ability, so that it can target the ground, as well as units.
    • When ground-targeted, its tosses the unit towards the targeted point.
    • Only runes can no longer be directly targeted when this talent is learned.
  • Acquiring the Toss charges talent instantly grants 1 extra charge.
• SOULBIND
  The ability is cast a second time when and/or before the primary target lands. Does nothing if there are no valid Toss targets.

Ability Draft Notes:

Toggling Autocast off swaps this ability out with Tree Volley. Their cooldowns are separate. Cannot swap to Tree Volley while Tree Throw is active.

Sticks and stones break all the bones, with structures sure to follow.

Tree Grab's damage area visualized.

• The Tree Grab buff lasts until the charges are used up, the Tree Throw sub-ability is used, or until death.
  • The number of remaining attacks is visible on the buff icon. The buff is visible to everyone.
  • SHARD
    Remaining charges on the HUD are not reduced until Tiny loses the tree. Grabbing a new tree grants a new permanent status buff.

• Upon cast, the mana is expended, but it does not go on cooldown. Losing the grabbed tree in any way starts the ability's cooldown.

• Turns the caster into a melee unit with 350 attack range until the Tree is lost.
  • This causes items that use different values for melee and ranged heroes (e.g. Manta Style) to now treat the caster as a melee hero.
  • Attack range bonuses are not overridden and still work normally.

• Grants flat bonus attack damage.
  • The bonus damage is applied when denying allied units.

• Tree Grab is a unique attack-based area damage that has the following properties:
  • The area has the following flags:
    • No-spell-lifesteal flag, preventing its damage from utilizing spell lifesteal.
    • No-spell-amplification flag, preventing its damage from being amplified with spell damage amplification.
  • The damage is affected by damage block.
  • It fully stacks with other sources of cleaves, with multiple sources and working independently.
  • Applies its area damage upon attacking wards, or buildings, but not on allies and items. Wards and buildings are unaffected by the area damage.
  • Despite the visual effect, the area damage is applied instantly in the whole area.

• The area is shaped like a rectangle with a semi-circle on top, and always starts in front of the attacking unit.
  • The rectangle has a length of 400 and a width of 400. The semi-circle has a radius of 200.
  • With the area damage length and width, the area damage can reach up to 600 range away from Tiny.

• The building bonus attack damage is considered as a conditional attack damage bonus.
  • Although the attack damage bonus values are not displayed in the HUD, it is still considered and directly added to Tiny's attack damage.
  • It can be reduced only by flat reductions (e.g. damage block).
  • Since it is considered bonus attack damage, it is not affected by percentage-based attack damage bonuses or reductions.
• SPELL STEAL
  Reduces attack range, ability effects persist if Rubick loses the ability while still wielding a tree.

Even enemies can share in Tiny's arbor ardor.

• Replaces Tree Grab until Tiny loses the tree.

• The tree travels at a speed of 900.

• When unit-targeted, the projectile homes in on the target, and hits the target upon fully reaching it.
  • The tree thrown this way does not provide vision while homing to the target.

• When ground-targeted, the tree travels in a straight line up to 1200 range before it disappears.
  • The tree thrown provides 200 radius flying vision around itself while traveling.
  • The tree thrown has a 300 radius collision size. This means this way, the tree may hit the intended target before reaching the target point.
  • With the travel distance and collision radius, the tree thrown can hit units up to 1500.
  • The splash damage is centered around the first unit it hits, and not around where the tree was as it hit.

• When the tree hits a unit, no matter if unit-targeted or ground-targeted, it provides 200 radius flying vision at its location for 2 seconds.

• Cannot be directly cast on Couriers.
  • However, the splash damage from ground-targeted throw does affect the Courier.

• Cause Tiny to perform an instant attack on the targeted unit, or the first enemy it finds.
  • These instant attacks deal 20 ( 120) bonus damage, they do not use Tree Grab's bonus damage values. It also applies splash damage around the target.
  • These instant attacks can proc any attack modifiers and on-hit effects normally. They have True Strike and ignore disarms.
  • The splash effects are based on the target's position, damaging a trapezoid area in the opposite direction where the tree came from.
  • If the caster is a ranged hero, the instant attacks do not use attack projectiles and are instant, but still count as ranged attacks.

• Enemies around the primary target are hit by splash damage, instead of instant attacks.
  • The splash damage has the no-spell-lifesteal flag, preventing its damage from utilising spell lifesteal.
  • The splash damage has the no-spell-amplification flag, preventing its damage from being amplified with spell damage amplification.
  • Splash damage is affected by damage block.

• Tree Throw first applies the slow debuff, then the instant attack and splash damage.

• Although the tree thrown is a projectile and it may look like a ranged attack, the attack still counts as a melee attack when coming from Tiny.
  • This means all abilities that use different values for melee and ranged heroes (e.g. Skull Basher) treat the caster as a melee hero.
• SPELL STEAL
  No longer can throw the wielded tree upon losing ability.
• SOULBIND
  Only affects the primary target.

Ability Draft Notes:

Requires drafting Tree Grab to be unlocked.
Toggling Autocast on swaps this ability out with Tree Throw. Their cooldowns are separate.

Sticks thrown from stones are like to shatter many bones.

• Requires Aghanim's Scepter to be unlocked.

• Does not require Tree Grab to be leveled to be unlocked, nor relies on Tree Throw to work, once Aghanim's Scepter is acquired.

• Throws trees in 0.5-second intervals, starting immediately upon cast begin, resulting in up to 5 trees being thrown.
  • The trees travel at a speed of 1000.
  • Checks for trees in the same intervals. If no tree is found within the area, the channeling ends prematurely.

• The trees within the tree grab radius are chosen randomly.

• Causes Tiny to perform instant attacks on all enemies within the damage radius.
  • These instant attacks can proc any attack modifiers and on-hit effects normally. They have True Strike and ignore disarms.
  • Cleave effects are based on the target's position, damaging a trapezoid area in the opposite direction where the tree came from.

• The tree thrown provides 200 radius flying vision around itself while traveling.
  • When the tree hits a unit, it also provides 200 radius flying vision at its location for 2 seconds.

• Tree Volley first applies the slow debuffs, then the instant attacks.

Recommended Items

Starting items:

• Tango keeps Tiny's health up in lane.
• Healing Salve restores health to Tiny.
• Iron Branch gives attributes, increasing health, mana, and damage.
• Enchanted Mango's passive health regeneration helps Tiny stay in lane longer; the burst mana also allows Tiny to use more abilities.

Early game:

• Regular Stick does nothing, so Tiny can sit around becoming one with his inner stone.
• Boots of Speed provides movement speed bonus so Tiny can get close to targets and use abilities on them.
• Bottle gives Tiny regeneration to stay in lane and mana to fuel his abilities by storing runes, which can heavily improve his performance if roaming or going mid.
• Bracer pads out Tiny's attributes, giving a cheap boost to both his damage for last-hitting and his mana pool for fighting.

Mid game:

• Magic Wand gives useful bonuses to Tiny's overall attributes and increases its charge storing capacity to restore health and mana.
• Power Treads gives attack speed and appropriate attributes. Switching to intelligence sustains Tiny's abilities usage, while switching to agility grants more attack speed to complement his high attack damage.
• Echo Sabre's double attack compensates for Tiny's low attack speed and synergizes well with his high attack damage, adding even more burst damage to his arsenal. It also grants much-needed mana regeneration and is a reasonably cheap pickup.
• Blink Dagger facilitates Avalanche and Toss combo, causing massive burst damage to one or more enemy heroes.
• Hyperstone can be a cheaper alternative to Echo Sabre allowing you to head for Moon Shard or Cuirass directly. Especially by delaying your first ultimate you may opt for a consistent attack frequency.
• Arcane Boots will provide enough mana to cast Toss and Avalanche multiple times without exceeding your mana pool. Alternative to Power Treads, catering to a gank-caster based gameplay.

Late game:

• Assault Cuirass gives attack speed to increase Tiny's damage output and armor to help Tiny tank physical attacks. The aura lowers buildings' and enemies' armors, complementing Tree Grab's and Grow's bonus attack damage.
• Daedalus helps Tiny inflict massive critical strike damage, thanks to his absurd attack damage from Tree Grab and Grow.
• Black King Bar gives strength and damage, as well as spell immunity to allow Tiny to move and attack enemies freely for several seconds, delivering consistent damage in team fights.
• Moon Shard grants Tiny massive attack speed increase to complement his powerful attack damage and Tree Grab's splash. Tiny may also choose to consume the shard to gain some attack speed bonus but clear an inventory slot for another late game item. Alternative to Cuirass.

Situational items:

• Soul Ring is an alternative to Bottle as a mana source, letting Tiny cast his expensive spells more easily for a minor health cost.
• Phase Boots grant attack damage and movement speed so Tiny can better approach opponent before having Blink Dagger, suiting an aggressive playstyle.
• Drum of Endurance gives attack speed, movement speed, and attributes for a low price.
• Mask of Madness gives a huge attack speed buff in addition to lifesteal for cheap, letting him smash teams apart with Tree Grab, and the armor loss is offset by Grow.
• Sange and Yasha grants movement speed, strength, and much needed agility, raising Tiny's attack speed to increase his damage output.
• Shadow Blade, an alternative or a complement to Blink Dagger, supplies attack speed and attack damage bonuses. The active Shadow Walk grants invisibility, speeds up Tiny's movement to get in position quicker, and applies burst physical damage when attack out of Shadow Walk.
• Heart of Tarrasque turns Tiny into a true tank, giving him lots of strength, health, and health regeneration.
• Aghanim's Scepter gives Tiny even more area-of-effect damage to soften enemies up or kill fragile foes outright, especially if he already has his damage items.
• Khanda deals massive burst damage thanks to Tiny's huge attack damage and is very easy to trigger with Toss and thrown trees.
