| A curious being of animated stone, Tiny roams the world in search of his origins.

He Tosses friends and foes alike across the battlefield, landing them on top of enemies and into the fray.

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.
Notes:
- 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.
- 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 persists through the affected target's death, so it continues flying and still applies the area damage upon landing.
- The target is fully disabled while tossed upwards and other units may pass below the tossed airborne unit.
- Cannot target buildings, but they do take damage from the tossed unit landing within the damage radius.
- Destroys trees within a 100 radius around the tossed unit upon landing.
- Toss deals a total of damage at the following Grow levels to units and buildings respectively:
- Level 1: 175/250/325/400 ( 58.33/83.33/108.32/133.32)
- Level 2: 275/350/425/500 ( 91.66/116.66/141.65/166.65)
- Level 3: 375/450/525/600 ( 124.99/149.99/174.98/199.98)
- Level 1: 175/250/325/400 (
- Can toss any unit, except for ancient creeps 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.
- Can directly target and toss the target towards runes, but cannot toss runes.
- Toss' modifier is hidden and not visible in the HUD.
- The Toss requires no target talent additionally grants the ability ground-targeting functionality.
- When ground-targeted, its tosses the unit towards the targeted point.
- Only runes can no longer be directly targeted when this talent is learned.

Ability Draft Notes:
Toggling Autocast off swaps this ability out with Tree Volley. Their cooldowns are separate.
Sticks and stones break all the bones, with structures sure to follow.
Notes:
- 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.
- With Aghanim's 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 Grab buff is missing.
- 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, despite the tooltip stating otherwise.
- The bonus damage is not applied when attacking allied units.
- Tree Grab is a unique attack-based area damage that share some similarities with cleave, and it cannot be amplified with outgoing spell damage amplification and cannot spell lifesteal.
- However, it can be amplified by incoming spell damage amplification.
- Its damage can be reduced by damage block-sources.
- Fully stacks with other sources of cleaves. Each source of cleave works completely independent.
- 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 a semicircle on top of a rectangle, with the area always starting 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.
Throws the tree at the target unit, proccing your attack on it and splashing damage around the target.

Ability Draft Notes:
Cannot swap to Tree Volley while ability is active.
Even enemies can share in Tiny's arbor ardor.
Notes:
- Replaces Tree Grab until Tiny loses the tree.
- The thrown 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 grants flying vision at its location for 2 seconds.
- Tree Throw first applies the debuff, then the damage.
- Cause Tiny to performs an instant attack on the targeted unit, or the first enemy it finds.
- These instant attacks deal 20 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.
- Splash damage cannot be amplified with outgoing spell damage amplification and cannot spell lifesteal.
- However, it can be amplified by incoming spell damage amplification.
- Its damage can be reduced by damage block-sources.
- 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) to now treat the caster as a melee hero with Tree Toss.

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:
- Magic Stick restores some health and mana so Tiny can sustain more damage in lane, or use his abilities in a pinch.
- 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.
