Hero Strategy

Treant has the highest base damage in the game at level 1 so make use of it to harass and deny.

Look for angles to cut off opponents with Nature's Grasp. Make sure to catch a tree in its path.

Leech Seed continues healing even after the unit it was used on dies.

Look around the map to heal and save allies and buildings with Living Armor.

Treant is great at defending towers safely with Nature's Grasp and Living Armor.

Don't rush with Overgrowth in the fights as opponents are likely to have multiple ways to dispel it at the start.

Treant is amazing at split pushing without even showing himself. Go ham on it when not much is happening.

Pick up Aghanims Shard around minute 15 to become invisible near trees and lockdown enemy heroes and creeps on attack.

Aghanim's Scepter will win a vision game for your team in the late game.

With your Aghanims Shard, you can use Natures Grasp to connect between Tree Lines and stay invisible.

Counter Strategy

Quell trees in the lane so you can keep track of Treant Protector and stop Nature's Guise.

Keep distance from Treant Protector as he has the highest base damage in the game.

Take towers down in one go so Treant Protector can't heal them with Living Armor.

Be aware of Treant Protector's Meteor Hammer timing. He becomes good at splitpushing.

Treant Protector becomes invisible with his aghanims shard upgrade. Carry detection on multiple heroes.

Observers and sentries at the outer jungles of the map are great at stopping Treant from splitpushing.

Items that apply dispel on you, are great against Treant's Overgrowth and Leech Seed.

Once Treant gets Aghanim's Scepter consider getting a Gem and cut Eyes in the Forest.
