Recommended heroes[edit]
- Heart of Tarrasque amplifies Chemical Rage's high health regeneration.
- Heart of Tarrasque's health amplification works with Lifestealer's Feast to keep him constantly at high health.
- Heart of Tarrasque stacks well with Axe's high health regeneration, and makes him significantly tankier. Additionally, it allows him to more easily use Berserker's Call several times in a team fight, due to its ability to quickly regenerate the large amount of health he will typically lose when casting this spell in a lategame situation.
- Because both Double Edge and Stampede both deal damage based on strength, Heart of Tarrasque's strength bonus is great for him. The health regeneration will allow him to use Double Edge against creeps freely, as well as allow him to build Return charges by tanking tower attacks.
