Tiny in Turbo

More Tiny guides

This guide is assembled by the site from match data and the game's own information — nobody wrote it by hand. Official and community guides appear alongside it when they exist.

Overview

Turbo is regular Dota sped up: more gold and experience, faster respawns and a quicker courier. Games are shorter, so early fights matter more and the late game comes sooner. Turbo speeds everything up — more gold, faster respawns — so skip the long farming phase, rush Blink Dagger and join fights much earlier than in a normal match.

Strengths

  • Reliable stun: Avalanche sets up kills and interrupts enemy channels.
  • Heavy magical burst: Valve lists it as a Nuker.
  • Scales into a late-game threat as the items come in.

Weaknesses

  • No escape in the kit: without good positioning and vision, Tiny is easy to catch.
  • Low base armor (0): vulnerable to physical harass early on.

  • Don't waste your key abilities on creeps: the next fight is seconds away.
