*Epic*

***Unlocks at 4,000 medals***

* Treadwell
* Hippie Treadwell

**OFFICIAL DESCRIPTION**

*Treadwell combines martial prowess with his own clever inventions to become a formidable foe...but he still doesn't see why all this nonsense can't be settled over a nice cup of tea.*

## **Battle-Spec's**

*-Digs under things*

*-Fast melee tank*

*-Dash increases movement speed and makes you invulnerable to single target attacks for up to 5.2 seconds*

## **Advice**

* As of right now, Treadwell is a very tricky guardian. Like his tagline says, he always has an escape plan. In my opinion, its very easy to play this guy strategically. Try to attack, dash, attack, and dash.
* Another way you can use Treadwell is with ambushing. Treadwell can dig under walls, so ambush people and get the first strike. It is vital that the user reserves a portion of Treadwell's dash, so, if you are at low health, you can dig under a wall and escape.
* Some adversaries can hit Treadwell when he's burrowing, others can't. In general, mages and AoE attacks can hit Treadwell while single-target attacks such as Kadira and Gudrun cannot. Use logic to determine whether an attack can hit Treadwell while he is digging. Treadwell is strong against squishy characters who are unable to hit him while burrowing.
* Treadwell can get easy access to gold-and-red chests and high-level abilities hidden behind walls, without having to break down the wall or risk being ambushed if he's caught there. This only works if the ability is outside a chest and/or there's an empty square beside it.
* Digging can also be used to gain quicker access to a series of other chests or items.
* Phase Shift spell is virtually useless to Treadwell as he can already burrow under walls.
* If Treadwell surfaces under an obstacle, he will appear in a neighboring space.
* Treadwell's trail means it's easier to tell where he's gone than with other characters with regular dashes. The trail remains visible briefly after he surfaces.
* Treadwell's dig ability neutralizes several of the most common defensive tactics: he can burrow under walls and items placed to slow pursuit, and reach opponents who have built a wall or a series of towers/spawners.
* When fleeing, Treadwell can put himself well out of range by burrowing under multiple walls.
* Combine with Chain Lightning to allow Treadwell to hit from behind walls and stay constantly out of range.
* Treadwell and Wraith have a lot of synergy because Wraith will follow Treadwell directly, even when he goes through walls. This also applies for Air Elemental.
* Treadwell can confuse enemies in a similar way to Azai. If he hits and then burrows, surfaces behind the opponent and hits again, he might get in more hits than the other player.
