Recommended heroes

Alchemist

• Heart of Tarrasque amplifies Chemical Rage's high health regeneration.

Axe

Bloodseeker

• Heart of Tarrasque's regeneration works with Bloodseeker's lifesteal to keep him constantly at full health.

Bristleback

• Heart of Tarrasque makes Bristleback much harder to take down, allowing him to dish out continuous damage with Quill Spray.

Chaos Knight

• Phantasms benefit greatly from Heart of Tarrasque, making them much harder to take down.

Dragon Knight

• Heart of Tarrasque's regeneration synergizes well with Dragon Blood bonus armor and regeneration.

Huskar

• Heart of Tarrasque helps Huskar quickly regain the health he expends to use his abilities, and makes him harder to kill once he's singled out an enemy with Life Break.

Phantom Lancer

• Heart of Tarrasque makes Phantom Lancer's illusions much more durable, and allows him to temporarily escape fights and come back after a short period of regeneration.

Phoenix

• Heart of Tarrasque helps Phoenix quickly regain the health it expends to use its abilities.
