Hero Strategy
Most of your laning kills will come from well placed Ice Shards. Constantly look for opponents out of position.
When you or your allies are in trouble, you can do a Snowball save or Ice Shard the opponents away.
Ice Shards provide vision so you can use them to scout pillars for wards or Roshan pit.
Pop Tag Team before using Walrus Punch to maximize on damage.
Once you get a Blink Dagger, you want to use Snowball primarily to save an ally.
Tuskar enables the team to take an early Roshan due to the Tag Team.
Pick up Aghanims Scepter as it is an amazing repositioning and kiting tool.
You can use both Tag Team and Ice Shard while Snowballed. Particularly helps in stopping enemy heroes fleeing from Snowball.
Counter Strategy
Movement speed items are great against Tusk's spells.
Bring an Observer Ward to lane to keep an eye on Tusk's aggressive movements.
Keep distance from Tusk because Tag Team does extra damage on every hit.
Tusk roams a lot. Keep an eye on his movements and be ready to help.
Be aware of Tusk's Blink Dagger timing as he can easily save his allies with Snowball.
Force Staff and Hurricane Pike are great against Tusk.
