Hero Tigreal
Tigreal (Tank)
Hero Skill !
Attack Wave
Tigreal smashes the ground with his hammer and sends a shockwave that erupts 3 times in the target direction, each time dealing 270( +70% Total Physical Attack) (Physical Damage) to enemies along the fan-shaped area and slowing them by 20%/40%/60% for 1.5s.
A Straight wave that is useful for killing minions, slowing down running enemies from battles and useful to stop enemies' HP regen. Try not to spam it a lot because it consumes a lot of mana, just waste it while having enemies in front and you make sure that you will hit them.
Sacred Hammer
Tigreal charges in the target direction, dealing ( +100% Total Physical Attack) (Physical Damage) to enemies along the way and pushing them to the end of the charge. (Use Again): Tigreal can use this skill again within 4s, dealing 280( +60% Total Physical Attack) (Physical Damage) to enemies in front of him and knocking them airborne for 1s.
The most important Tigreal's ability, being hard to master at the begining but easier to manipulate after playing several games with Tigreal. This ability complements well with the battle spell Flicker by dragging the enemy team to your side where your team awaits for them. Anyway, it costs even more mana than the 1st ability so use it wisely.
Implosion
Tigreal unleashes the power of his hammer, stunning and pulling nearby enemies to him for 2s while dealing 270( +130% Total Physical Attack) (Physical Damage). [C8The first half of the channeling can be interrupted by control effects. The second half of the channeling can only be interrupted by Suppression.]
The perfect complement for the 2nd ability and flicker. It is one of the best crowd control abilities on the game, so you have a great power in your hands and a really useful weapon for teamfights.
Fearless
Tigreal gains a stack of (Fearless) each time he uses a skill or is hit by a Basic Attack. After getting 4 stacks, Tigreal will consume all (Fearless) stacks to block the next incoming Basic Attack (including attacks from Turrets). [C8Attacks from Minions do not grant] (Fearless) [C8stacks nor trigger its effect].
Remember to do basic attacks between spells to harden you even more. You don't need to hit enemies to activate your passive so do it before Teamfights, or when you considerate it is necessary.
Item Build !
Main
Secondary
Battle First
Battle Second
You should max his 2nd ability to reduce its cooldown and mana consume, it is important to max that ability due to the movility it provides you when you are far from a battle and want to go and helpm, also because it is the most useful Tigreal skill after his Ultimate. Anyway, you should start picking the first ability for a faster cleaning of your line in early game and to spam it to your oponents. (Max Ultimate whenever is possible)
Flicker - It is obligatory to always pick Flicker, and the reason is really simple; it is the best spell that you can use to combine Tigreal skills as mentioned above.

Cursed Helmet
3201
Unique Passive - Burning Soul: Deals Magic Damage equal to 0.6% of the hero's Max HP per second to nearby enemies. This damage is increased by 140% to 350% against creeps and minions (scales with level).
1) Inmortality: You have a chance to resurrect and enemies would take their distance because they would know that killing you is not a wise decision, they will respect you and won't mess with you so often. A good advantage for early game.
2) Warrior Boots: After the inmortality, you will need movility, and the best option is to buy warrior boots because that item is the only one that gives you armor and movility together.
3) Cursed Helmet: If you have a lot of CC, and you would be close to the enemy so often, a great gear to buy is the cursed helmet. It has saved me a lot of times from enemies chasing me, I just stun them and let the gear do its job. It is also useful for a faster line minion cleaning.
4) Courage Bulwark: The objective of being a Tank is to do Teamwork. This item is the best item for teamwork, it gives attack power and defense to allies around you. It also let your allies to take more damage from turrets by hardening them.
5) Bloodthirsty King: The item that gives you the biggest ammount of Hp, it is a good combination with the cursed helmet. The main work this item does is to regen your hp 20% for each kill or assist (and you will have a lot of assistances).
6) Heart of Steel: Needed for late game. It reduces the % of Crit when enemies hit you, making you even more harder.
Item Counters !
Gord BEST TEAMMATES
Tigreal put all the enemies together with his skill combination and gord with his stun and ultimate kills them all while Tigreal has all of them stunned. The most of the times my friend gets Triple Kill/Maniac and even once he reached Savage by doing this
Miya Counters
The only mobility Miya has is her Ultimate, and it has a big cooldown, making Tigreal able to reach her while escaping by using Flicker and 2nd ability, and even only his 2nd would be enough.
Eudora Countered by
It is obvious why she is here, she has a stun that lasts enough to let the enemy team lower your hp faster if you don't take care, Tigreal is pretty hard, but not inmortal like Argus with his Ulti. Keep an eye on it.
