Deadwood

Description

Born of the cruelly tainted lands of Newerth, Deadwood is the undead husk of the first Keeper of the Forest. All around him, living things wilt, and he has little hesitation to destroy trees or use them as weapons. Despite seeking the destruction of Newerth, he still commands the incredible strength and natural powers of a forest guardian, thus combining the cruelty of the Hellbourne with the powers that once belonged only to the Beast Horde.

A conjunction of Rotten Grasp and Willowmaker causes Deadwood to boast one of the highest spike damage outputs in Newerth. Uproot gives him nearly unparalleled early game damage, while Clearcutting makes him difficult to catch. However, his effectiveness fades as your opponents become more coordinated.
