Timbersaw Offlane

Key Strategy

Key strategic elements to consider when playing Timbersaw

• Use Whirling Death to secure last hits, harass opponents and at the same time cut some trees with it.
• Consider putting a point in the Timber Chain early on tough lanes.
• Keep Reactive Armor stacks high to be able to play aggressively and not fear for your life.
• Check how many stick charges opponents have when you are going for a kill.
• Consider tanking tower shots to keep the catapult alive.
• Timbersaw isn`t the best at rotating. You`d rather force opponents to come to you by playing aggressively.
• Consider parking yourself in front of the tower opponents are looking to destroy. Build up armor stacks though.
• Items that reduce healing and break effects are a big problem. Itemize against them and adjust playstyle.
• When not much is happening, push out the sidelines even out of vision if necessary.
• Pick up Aghanims Shard later in the game as it improves DPS and provides much needed building damage.
• You do not necessarily want to go to late game, so try to close out the game before you fall off.
