Terizla gains 1% extra Damage Reduction (up to 20 (+1*Hero Level)%) for every 2.5% HP lost.
He cannot gain extra Attack Speed and will convert every 1% extra Attack Speed he's supposed to receive into 1 extra Physical Attack.
Gameplay guide
Terizla is an EXP-lane front-line fighter whose missing HP converts into increasing Damage Reduction and whose bonus Attack Speed becomes Physical Attack. He layers delayed lost-HP damage, three progressively stronger slowing hammer swings, and a Penalty Zone that repeatedly drags heroes toward its scaffold.
Max Execution Strike and use its first casts to slow before committing the high-damage third swing. Lead longer trades with Revenge Strike so its delayed lost-HP explosion occurs after the hammer damage.
Rotate after clearing and combine Flicker with Penalty Zone from an unseen angle when multiple enemies or a priority carry can be trapped. Swing Execution Strike through the pulled area and face the third cast where the scaffold will return targets.
Front-line with allied follow-up, not alone. Use low-HP Damage Reduction to endure while withdrawing or finishing a controlled fight, but respect true damage and execute effects that bypass the intended durability curve.
Aim the third Execution Strike where slowed enemies will move, not where they stood during the faster first swing.
Account for Body of Smith's growing Damage Reduction at low HP before retreating, but do not rely on it against true damage or a prepared execute.
Cast Penalty Zone after movement skills are spent or allied control begins, preventing enemies from leaving before the pull repeats.
