My name is Tresdin, and there is a great threat growing in my kingdom. And that threat is the waves of filthy non-human refugees who litter our street corners and whose mongrel languages are belted out in every pub! I didn�t become the greatest general this kingdom has seen in hundreds of years to see my lands reduced to this, but that will be dealt with shortly. For now my axe is called to battle the hordes of darkness that threaten every human in these lands. I march to turn the tables on these horrors, and I dare even one of them to test me in single combat! I go to see things are taken care of the right way, the human way!

Agi: 16 + 1.3

Deep in the Forgotten Forests there is money to be made. No one knows this, and the dangers that lie within better than the goblin inventor Rizzrak. Combining heavy onboard weapons with the ability to clear an entire field of timber with ease, Rizzrak created a machine that�s as deadly as it is economical. With a detachable saw, brush clearing blades, and a tree grabbing chain Rizzrak is as threatening to his enemies as he is to a fresh sapling. Rizzrak's may not be a noble spirit, but the Sentinels money is as good as any, as long as he keeps his grubbing hands off the Tree of Life!

Rizzrak the Goblin Shredder Skills

Whirling Death (Active, no target)



Goblin Shredder whirls extremely sharp edges dealing damage and reducing primary attribute of any unfortunate enemy hero who comes in a 300 AOE around him. Deals Pure damage if it cuts down trees in the process. Lowers primary attribute by 15% for 7 seconds.

Damage: 50/100/150/200

Whirling Death deals magical damage by default. If it cuts down trees as well, it becomes pure damage.

Fires a chain that embeds itself in the first tree it hits, pulling you to it and cutting any enemy in your path for pure damage.

Damage AoE: 225

Range: 800/1000/1200/1400
Damage: 80/120/160/200

Cooldown: 4 seconds
Manacost: 60/70/80/90

Note: You will not be pulled in if you are stunned when the chain latches onto a tree
Ability Code: A2E3

Reactive Armor (Passive)

What doesn't kill ya makes ya stronger! Every physical attack made on Rizzrak increases his armor and gives him bonus hp regen. Each stack lasts for 16 seconds.

Bonus: 1 armor and 1 HP regen per stack

Stack Limit: 4/8/12/16
Ability Code: A2E4

Chakram (Activatable, targeted point)



Fires your main saw blade at the target location, and once there the blade will spin, dealing damage in an AoE around it and slowing enemies by 5% for every 5% of health they are missing. The blade deals pure damage and cuts down trees in its path when fired and retracted. You lose the ability to attack while the blade is out.

Timer Chain is an obvious choice for your first skill as it will help you chase or escape by latching to the tree. Maxing it first for the range increase. Second skill could be 1 level of Reactive Armor if you're facing physical harasser and you're having difficulties last hitting (ex: 2 aggressive range heroes). Otherwise just go for the Whirling Death. Always take Chakram whenever you can grab it. This skill set will allow you to shine early by producing lots of pure damage and give you a lot of kills.
