Tiny (Stone Giant) Strategy

Today on DOTA Tips - I thought we would post the standard strategy for playing Tiny (Stone Giant) a popular hero and fairly easy to use within DOTA. Personally Tiny is one of my fav Warcraft3 men!

Ok - heres the basic start (Feel free to comment on this post with your ideas or changes)

Rugged combat hero, specializing in hitting slow but hard.



Tiny - The Stone Giant
Range: 128 | Move Speed: 285
Primary: STR
Str: 24 + 3 | Agi: 9 + 0.9 | Int: 14 + 1.6
Damage: 61 – 67 | HP: 606 | Mana: 182
HP Regen: 0.97 | Mana Regen: 0.57
Attack Speed: 1.55 | Armor: -1



Avalanche (V)
Send 4 to 5 piles of rocks on an area of 200 AoE to stun and damage enemy land units. Each pile of rock stuns around 0.25 second, and the whole process lasts around 2 seconds.
Level 1 - 100 damage.
Level 2 - 180 damage.
Level 3 - 260 damage.
Level 4 - 300 damage.
Mana Cost: 120
Cooldown: 18



Toss (T)
Tiny grabs the nearest unit, friend or foe, and launches them at a location. Upon landing, the unit deals damage in an area as well as receiving 20% of that damage to themselves (this damage increases as your size increases). Cannot toss Elder Form DK.
Level 1 - 500 range, 75 damage.
Level 2 - 700 range, 150 damage.
Level 3 - 900 range, 225 damage.
Level 4 - 1100 range, 300 damage.
Mana Cost: 120
Cooldown: 13



Craggy Exterior (C)
Tiny`s body is made of solid granite, causing great pain to those who attack it. Whenever a melee unit attacks Tiny, there is a chance that they will be stunned for 2 seconds. Tiny will not take damage if he stuns the enemy for that particular hit.
Level 1 - 6% chance, 25 stun damage.
Level 2 - 12% chance, 35 stun damage.
Level 3 - 18% chance, 45 stun damage.
Level 4 - 24% chance, 55 stun damage.
Mana Cost: N/A
Cooldown: N/A



Grow (W)
Greatly increases Tiny`s power and size, but does so at the cost of his attack speed. Will reset all cooldowns.
Level 1 - 40 bonus damage, 5 bonus speed, 20% reduced attack speed.
Level 2 - 80 bonus damage, 10 bonus speed, 35% reduced attack speed.
Level 3 - 120 bonus damage, 15 bonus speed, 50% reduced attack speed.
Mana Cost: N/A
