• Healing Salve helps Timbersaw stay in lane.
• Iron Branches give a small boost to Rizzrack`s attributes, and can build into a Magic Wand later in the game.

Early game:

• Arcane Boots are the boots of choice for Rizzrack, as they boost his overall mana pool and provide him with a periodic increase of mana for both him and his team. He can disassemble them to use the Energy Booster for his Bloodstone See the in-game item. For the Beta memorial gems, see Bloodstone of the Ancestor, Bloodstone of the Precursor, and Bloodstone of the Founder.   Item   Changelogs     Bloodstone The Bloodstone s .
• Magic Wand is bought because of the increase to Timbersaw`s attributes, and because of the useful health “ Play Life becomes death becomes new life. As it should be.  Click to listen— Treant Protector ” Health (also known as HP, which can be short for: health pool or health points) represents the life and mana restoration it provides.

Core items:

Situational items:

• Scythe of Vyse allows Rizzrack to disable a single enemy hero, allowing both Rizzrack and his team to completely destroy the targeted hero.
• Shiva`s Guard   Item   Changelogs     Shiva s Guard Said to have belonged to a goddess, today it retains much of its former power. Cost4750 (650) Bought FromArmor Active Arctic Blast Passive Freezing Aura Bonus +30 makes Rizzrack considerably more durable due to the large amount of armor Armor is an attribute shared by all units. Armor is used to determine the amount of damage reduction (or amplification if an armor value is negative) a unit takes from physical damage sources. Higher armor it provides. The large amount of intelligence it provides is also very beneficial as Rizzrack requires a lot of mana and mana regeneration to do well.

Shiva`s can also make Rizzrack a decent initiator.
• Aghanim`s Scepter gives Timbersaw a second Chakram, allowing him to scale much better into the late game with even higher damage output. Be that as it may, the mana cost of a second Chakram will deplete his mana very quickly; therefore a mana item like Bloodstone See the in-game item. For the Beta memorial gems, see Bloodstone of the Ancestor, Bloodstone of the Precursor, and Bloodstone of the Founder.   Item   Changelogs     Bloodstone The Bloodstone s or Scythe of Vyse is mandatory before picking up this item.

This , which can be very good against a team that can output a large amount of magical damage. In addition, this item provides a nice amount of health regeneration “ Play Life becomes death becomes new life. As it should be.  Click to listen— Treant Protector ” Health (also known as HP, which can be short for: health pool or health points) represents the life .
• Orchid Malevolence can be a good pickup if you are having issues with an enemy disabling Disables (also called crowd control, or CC) refer to any abilities or status effects that prevent, impede, or otherwise inhibit a Hero from acting. Disables come in many different varieties, and most Heroes have access , silencing, or blinking away from you. On top of the silence the item brings, it gives Timbersaw even more mana regen and bigger mana pool, as well as extra damage output with the burst at the end of the silence. In combination with a Blink Dagger, Timbersaw becomes incredibly fearsome and can punish anyone out of position with ease.
• Rod of Atos synergizes very well with Timbersaw, since the increased intelligence will allow him to cast more spells which deal more damage and the health “ Play Life becomes death becomes new life. As it should be.  Click to listen— Treant Protector ” Health (also known as HP, which can be short for: health pool or health points) represents the life will increase his survivability. The slow from Atos will assist in landing Timbersaw`s spells, and the combined with Chakram`s slow, it almost always reduces an enemy`s movement speed to minimum.
• Cloak can be an underrated early game item on Timbersaw, since his biggest weakness before he gets big items are disables and magical damage. With a casual Cloak and Reactive Armor, Timbersaw is very difficult to kill in the early and mid game.
• Heart of Tarrasque makes Rizzrack very tanky, as it provides a whopping 1060 additional health “ Play Life becomes death becomes new life. As it should be.  Click to listen— Treant Protector ” Health (also known as HP, which can be short for: health pool or health points) represents the life .

General

• One of Timbersaw`s weaknesses is his lack of disabling Disables (also called crowd control, or CC) refer to any abilities or status effects that prevent, impede, or otherwise inhibit a Hero from acting. Disables come in many different varieties, and most Heroes have access spells; he suffers against heroes that excel at channeling Warlock channeling Upheaval Channeling an ability causes the caster to stop acting for the duration of the spell. Channeled spells may be ended when the channeling unit takes another action or is interrupted by another spells to harm their opponents. In this case, equip him with an item that has a quick disable, like Eul`s Scepter of Divinity For the cosmetic item equipped by Crystal Maiden, see Eul s Scepter of Divinity (Equipment)   Item   Changelogs   Known Bugs     Eul s Scepter of DivinityB A mysterious scepter passed down through the ages, .

Whirling Death

• Use Whirling Death during or right after Timber Chain to deal burst damage.
• Try to use Whirling Death next to trees to deal pure damage.
• The 15% primary attribute reduction from Whirling Death is particularly devastating to strength heroes, who will lose a large amount of HPTechnology company from strength reduction, on top of damage taken.
  • This makes Whirling Death deceptively powerful against strength heroes, especially in the early game.
  • The attribute loss also hurts the opponent`s ability to get last hits, so make sure to hit them with it whenever possible.
• More tips needed.

Timber Chain

• Timber Chain gives Timbersaw tremendous mobility, and has a very low cooldown.
• Use Timber Chain to chase or escape from enemies.

• Timber Chain will cause Timbersaw to suffer the effects of Mana Leak and Rupture. Do not use it when affected by those abilities unless absolutely necessary.
• Positioning is important when dealing damage with Timber Chain. Move Timbersaw until the enemy is lined up in the middle, between Timbersaw and a target tree.
• It takes a brief moment for Timber Chain to destroy the target tree, meaning that Whirling Death should be used to cut down the target tree just before it is destroyed in order to deal pure damage.
• More tips needed.

Reactive Armor

• An early point in Reactive Armor helps Timbersaw stay in lane.
• Aside for tanking damage in team fights, Reactive Armor can also be used as a quick health regeneration “ Play Life becomes death becomes new life. As it should be.  Click to listen— Treant Protector ” Health (also known as HP, which can be short for: health pool or health points) represents the life boost. You can either visit the small creep camps since they do little damage and come in groups, or tank lane creeps when no enemy hero is present. As long as there are multiple targets attacking you in quick succession, the spell will stack faster, and you will be able to heal faster. Make sure you`re receiving damage that is lesser than what you are able to regenerate.

• Use Chakram to cut down entire areas of trees. This has numerous functions.
  • To find enemies juking in the trees.
  • To destroy any potential Eyes In The Forest.
  • To clear vision in order to spot potential ganks. This is especially useful when laning in the early game, and when attacking a tower.
• If you are ready to gank in a side lane and are behind trees Trees on the Radiant and Dire sides of the map. Trees are a terrain feature in Dota 2. They make up a large amount of the map, and are very prominent in the forests that , use Chakram to destroy the trees in front of you, then use Timber Chain on the other side of the lane; after this, a well placed Whirling Death can almost ensure a kill in many situations.
