Unfinished :: Stone Giant - Tiny

[ek0]

As discussed in this topic, I think guides by the players can be created.
So I will start posting topics like this one. Every week I will post a new topic with a new hero. Every member can suggest item build, skill build, gameplay... (and other). I will edit the first post with the best suggestions.
The next hero will be Tiny.

Hero introduction
Although his name seems fitting at first, over time Tiny the Stone Giant will grow both in size and strength. His immense strength allows him to grab the closest enemy and toss them through the air towards a target unit. Combining this with Tiny's Avalanche spell gives him incredible area of effect damage. However, Tiny is also extremely dangerous in one on one situations. With proper timing Tiny can Toss an enemy who is taking damage from Avalanche, and if the target lands back in the Avalanche they will take double damage. This is often enough to instantly kill more fragile heroes, although tougher heroes should be wary of engaging the Stone Giant as well. Tiny's Craggy Exterior can occasionally stun close range attackers, giving him time to escape or punish them with his crushing blows. If possible, it's best to keep this mobile mountain at arm's length.
Background Story
Looming from the rocky crags of Ashenra, the stone giants are born from the mountain itself. Tiny, a newly born giant, although small in size, has the strength of a hill. With his supreme strength, he is able to launch anything into the air, including huge amounts of soil to cause avalanches around his enemies. Because of his craggy exterior, enemies have a hard time attacking him. Over time, Tiny's body will grow bigger as the magnetic forces deep inside his granite heart pull rocks and soil to his rugged stone form.

1) bottle if solo mid
2) Rush dagger if you're dominating. Get Arcane otherwise. (or 1 null and SoulRing if you suck at farming). For the blink/stun/toss/combo you need 120 + 120 + 75 mana, which you wont have if you dont buy some mana pool boost.
3) Get your dagger if you didnt have it yet. Now, you should roam and insta-gib any hero you meet.
4) For late game, good items on Tiny are : Shiva/Heart/Cuirass/Butter. Tiny has already big damage, you just need survivability, and ways to spam your spells effectively (Dagger and Shiva)


Ulti on lvl6 is bad because I doubt you'll have enough attack speed at lvl6 to benefit from your ulti's extra damage. Upgrading toss range will be more valuable. Get ulti as soon as you got your dagger, because the bigger you are, the more damage the stun/toss/stun combo deals.

If you got a good Enigma in your team, get MoM and BFury for the lulz.

ulti on 6 lvl ? bad idea

yes, +1

(very slow + no items)

Any other suggestions?

[mrNiceguy]

Any other suggestions?

well builds for tiny can be:

or this for mana at the start!

Later if you get enough money you can build this: , which will help not only you, it will help your team also!

Sometimes this is also nice item: !


Well, for the rest I will leave others that post some builds for tiny!

[V1ndex]

sometimes you might need to tank and don't be a only run run hero :p

like make the armors with the hyper, make power threads etc... and  make him killer hero with all that dmg plus hes thirds spell that stuns but must must make dagger my opinion

[x[]o^GossipGirl]

Phase Boots + Mask of Madness + Curiass + Shiva's Guard + Butterfly + Monkey King Bar = Rampage
