Axe

Axe is a Strength hero known to make chaos on a battle while gaining a lot of great bonuses on the process and commonly played as an initiating tank. He can force an enemy to attack him and endure a lot of attacks while countering them with a devastating strike that can bring more damage to his enemies than he usually takes, thus, items that give survivability is a must. Axe has been infamously known to finish off any hardy fools with his Ultimate when they are low on life. Due to Axe's simple burst damage potential and great survivability early on, Axe is recommended for beginners.

Basic Strategy

 * Items such as the Vanguard, Hood of Defiance and the Shiva's Guard are essential as they help reduce the damage being dealt to Axe while he tanks and initiates a battle.
 * Blink Dagger is a commonly built item to help with initiating as Axe.
 * During the starting and early phase of the game. Buy a Stout Shield, this cheap little item is effective enough to survive the lane. If necessary, instead of fighting along with your allied creeps, try to go snd clash with the enemy creeps all by yourself in a safe enemy lane. Make sure you don't go to the path where the tower can see you. Your Counter Helix allows you to damage creeps fast.

Trivia

 * Axe's alternate/Fun name was "Mogul Kahnt Touch This" due to the consequences of his Counter Helix
