Timbersaw is a melee character. His primary attribute is strength. The hero is mainly taken as a hardlaner. Most effective in the early and mid game.
Once Timbersaw begins to dominate, he is virtually unstoppable thanks to the Reactive Armor ability. This makes him one of the most powerful frontlaners in the early game. Due to his Whirling Death ability enemies try not to get into close combat with this hero. This skill is especially effective against strength characters. Even if an enemy hero decides to escape, it will be difficult, since the Timber Chain ability will allow Timbersaw to catch up with his opponents. In team fights, the Chakram ability forces enemies to change their positions, and with Aghanim's Scepter, Timbersaw gets the Second Chakram, which makes this character even more dangerous. Aghanim's Shard helps the hero destry towers more effectively.
