How to counter Timbersaw
In lane
- • The magical damage and stacking amplifier of Shadowraze can be fatal for Timbersaw in lane. • The combination of Necromastery and Presence of the Dark Lord means that Shadow Fiend can hit hard despite Reactive Armor.
- • Slark does not care about Reactive Armor since Essence Shift makes him steal stats with every hit.
- • Timbersaw plays aggressive in lane if he is too tanky to die. Maledict means he must go back or die.
- • Heartstopper Aura is strong against high HP heroes like Timbersaw. • Timbersaw is a good Reaper's Scythe target. • There is not much that Timbersaw can do against the lane harass of Death Pulse, right clicks and Heartstopper Aura.
- • The combination of two magic damage spells in lane can threaten Timbersaw with a kill. • Frostbite can root Timbersaw to make him unable to Timber Chain and set up a kill.
- • Silencer does not care about Reactive Armor since Glaives of Wisdom damage is magical and scales with each auto attack. • Global Silence can be a problem for Timbersaw since he relies on using his abilities. • Arcane Curse can be a problem for Timbersaw since he uses a lot of spells in a teamfight.
- • Ursa does not care about Reactive Armor since Fury Swipes scales his damage hard.
- • Juggernaut does not care much about Reactive Armor since most of his damage in lane comes from Blade Fury. • Timbersaw is a melee hero so he can struggle with killing the Healing Ward behind Juggernaut.
- • Lich deals constant magical damage in lane with Frost Blast. • A well-timed Sinister Gaze can pull Timbersaw back as he tries to escape with Timber Chain.
In game
- • Timbersaw's biggest weakness is magic damage and all of Pugna's damage is magical. • Nether Ward is great against Timbersaw's spells especially Chakram since it pulses every second. • Timbersaw cannot kill the Nether Ward due to his low attack speed.
- • Doom technically counters almost every hero with Doom, but Timbersaw is one of the best targets since he relies on his abilities and health regeneration. • Infernal Blade deals max HP damage and Timbersaw is a high HP hero.
- • Outworld Destroyer does not care about Reactive Armor since Arcane Orb is pure damage. • Outworld Destroyer can use Astral Imprisonment to stop Timber Chain mid tree-pull.
- • Timbersaw's biggest weakness is magic damage and all of Skywrath Mage's damage is magical. • Ancient Seal is a great silence that also amplifies magical damage.
Items
- • Timbersaw is a high HP hero that relies on HP regeneration with Reactive Armor which this item reduces greatly.
Spirit Vessel - • This item can break his Reactive Armor, however it will not dispel the current stacks he has.
Silver Edge - • Timbersaw has no way to interrupt a Clarity in lane before level 6.
