Introduction

This is guide to play Tiny as a mobile, hard-hitting carry. Basically every other guide for Tiny was just the cookie-cutter Arcanes/Blink, which is fine if you're just playing as an initiator or ganker for your team, but if you're looking to carry and wreck the **** out of everything, it's a waste of your potential. I've only been playing Dota 2 since January, and I don't claim to be an expert. This build is more or less a copy of coL.TC (also successfully used by EHOME.LaNm at TI2). Either way, it's what I've started to use while match-making and I've had a good deal of success and a whole lot of fun.

Items

So Phase/Drums are really good for increased mobility and damage, and once you have them up you shouldn't be having too much trouble with mana as long as someone on your team has got Arcane Boots. Aghs is next for stats, cleave, etc. At this point your item build can vary. I grab Yasha for the increased movement speed and to help mitigate Tiny's decreased attack speed. Once you have Yasha you are going to fly across the map, and your presence and ganking ability is scary. After that I build a Hyperstone (building eventually into an AC), and you pretty much destroy everything; towers, heroes, everything. Usually around the time I get the AC completed the enemy base is getting knocked down; if not, finishing a Manta will probably guarantee rax. I listed a BKB because depending on team compositions and the situation you're in, it might make sense to grab one after Aghs (or maybe even before), but I've never had to pick one up.

This is just how I've been running Tiny.

I added a section for the games that run extremely long (I've never played a game with this build that has); pretty much any of these items will fit the bill. I think Daedalus would be my first choice, but you can build whatever you want at this point, depending on the situation and what you need.

I love seeing carry tinys and this is a great guide, but i think power treads should be taken over phase as attack speed is crucial and it also helps with chases. What good is being able to catch up to an enemy instantly if you have to stand in place for a longer duration to make the attack anyway? Yea, i recommend treads

You may be right for the earlier stages of the game, but the benefit of +10 agility over +24 damage and movement speed bonus is negligible, especially after Yasha/Hyperstone which is meant to address that very issue. Thanks for the suggestion though, I'll give it a try.

Mana has never been too much of an issue for me when playing this build, especially after picking up Aghs, at which point you have a pretty sustainable mana pool. If no one else on your team is going to pick up Arcanes, then yes, early on it might be a bit rough.

That's pretty interesting, I hadn't thought of Eul's, but I don't know if I'd build it over Aghs, Yasha, or Hyperstone. It could serve as a makeshift BKB though, and of course the movement speed bonus is exactly what you're looking for. I'll try and work it in one game and see how it does. Thanks for the suggestion!

Yes, this is basically the same build that EHOME.LaNm used during The International. The only real difference is he grabbed Yasha before building Aghs. This is also a build that coL.TC commonly uses when he plays Tiny. I edited my parenthetical in the introduction to include LaNm.

Anyway, I love to play tiny this way. It's harder in pubs because his start is just so bad going this build, which is why pro teams pick up wisp.

Also, ever tried going mask of madness? Gives attack speed and movement. It's damned effective.
