Item Build

Sobi mask for mana :)

Phase Item 2

or

Phase Item 3

Suitable Items:

Battlefury - Additional damage and HP/Mana regeneration. It's ability to cleave is just a bonus for easy farming cause your ultimate stacks with it.

Monkey King Bar - Your mana problem has been solved, so its time to get more DPS to your Tuskarr. MKB has +88 damage which can add some very nice damage to Walrus Punch (4x critical if your opponent's HP less than 50%). Its IAS increases your DPS and minibash wil help you to chase when your sigil is activated.

Assault Cuirass - is a smart route to take, supporting the rest of the team with the positive and negative auras to shift the tides towards team's favor. IAS and Armor adds to DPS and survivability at the same time.

Sange & Yasha - An all in one item (provide additional HP, damage, AS, MS, and Maim ability). Your EHP is increase as well as your probability to chase and kill your enemies when combined with your skills).

Stygian Desolator - Boost your DPS. Thanks to +60 damage and -6 armor reduction. But no EHP at all.

note: You can combine this with vladimir to add your survivability.

Satanic - Gives you DPS (+45 damage) and more EHP (HP and lifesteal). Choose between this, stygian, or Sange & Yasha depend on your game's situation.

Tuskarr is good at early ganking using snowball and his ulti as a combo and if the opennent gona run or he had low hp use ice shard.

If you are solo go first lvl 7 and then go for gangs

What you should be doing in mid game is ganking a lot with your partner. Because your main role is making enemy's carry hero suffer so they cant be threats to your team on late game. Try to find chances to gank every time you have in this phase of the game. Snowball can be the initiator, follow with ice shard which can be the nuke and the trap, finish with walrus punch. Some additional hit will be enough to make em dying. You can use frozen sigil to slowing down your targets if they still have HP remain on them. But normally use frozen sigil first before snowballing so you can prevent enemies for running away.

If you are top or down denie/last hit all the oppenent creeps possible. Don't push the lane unnecessarily.

Some Good Combos For Early Kills

Tuskarr/Axe:

Tuskarr Snowballs himself and Axe into the enemy. Axe taunts the enemy heroes and creeps, triggering numerous Helixes. Both heroes pound on the enemy during this time. After the taunt wears off, Tuskarr blocks the enemy's path with Shard to extend the beating.

Other Godd combos are:

Tuskar + Huskar

Tuskar + tiny

Tuskar + slardar

Tuskar + slark

Tuskar + sven

Tuskar + naix

Tuskar + leo
