Details

• When targeting a unit, it deals damage based on the target's current health.
  • Cannot target any player-controlled units or Roshan.
  • Uses the shorter cast range and long cooldown when targeting units.

• When targeting a tree, it instantly destroys it.
  • Targeting a tree puts the item on a second cooldown, instead of seconds.

• The cast sound does not play when targeting trees.

• Does not share cooldown with Quelling Blade or Battle Fury.

Tips

• Use the active in the jungle against the creep with the most current HP in the middle and hard camp.
• Chop can be used to make it easier to last hit creeps that are being attacked by a tower. The extra damage might just be enough to kill the creep if just the attack damage wouldn't be enough.
• Use Chop to escape Sprout later in the game when one might find it difficult to make space for a Quelling Blade in the inventory.

Trivia

• Prior to the July 14, 2017 Patch, Iron Talon's active ability, Chop, did not have an official name. The name was taken from the Dota 2 Wiki and officially implemented into Dota 2.
