Quick Tips
Battle Hunger only works well early in the game, or to finish off someone who's running later. Watch your enemies as they play against you in the laning phase. If they're constantly last hitting and dodge your attacks well don't bother leveling it. On the other hand, if they don't seem very skilled, you might be able to get a lot of early kills pumping the battle hunger skill all the way up. Try to only use it when the enemy's health is low enough to die to it, or when you'd be able to follow up with a culling blade to weaken them.If you want to play as this character, it's best to wait to see who your opponents pick first. Axe is unstoppable against many, but he fails against caster heroes who can simply nuke him to death unless he's been super fed. The best heroes to use him against are folks like Meepo & others who rely on melee damage.

Battle Hunger

Does damage until opponent kills something, lasts quite awhile.

- don;t use it that much; with dagger and phase boots it's a little useless
-
Counter Helix
Passive when attacked
Every attack on Mogul Khan has a chance to trigger a whirlwind, damaging everyone around.

Item build
The first thing I always try to do while playing him is buy a vanguard. It is extremely helpful while berserker call is running. The huge armor boost makes it so most creeps will likely do low enough damage to be fully absorbed. An old axe guide might recommend two, but they don't stack. Only buy one! A stout shield or poor man shield can do the trick instead if you'd like other items. I then always rush a Kelen dagger of blinking. It makes this hero much more useful in team fights. He can just teleport to the other dota staging area and make everyone attack him instead of using their abilities.
What do you buy in a DotA build for him?

- wtf? basher,buriza,lifesteal? with his attack speed? bfury makes creeps easier to kill but when there are no creeps axe WON'T SPIN! the true build is:
vanguard
dagger
blademail(works with call)(efective against ursa)or hood if most are nukers
BoT
tarasque
curiass (helix's damage is reduced by armor so youll need this to make it amazing)
heres a list of bad axe items
bfury
aghanims
lifesteal
sny
basher
buriza
butterfly
divine (u dont need damage cuz u spin)
mkb
bkb (axe is an fat initiator, spells should be wasted on him instead of his teammates. but if have no teamwork u can buy bkb)

Axe vs Jug
Sep 21, 2010 @ 7:43 am | delete
- Axe use his counter helix to kill, so theres no use to buy items like bladefury or stanic, try to buy items that add armor and hp, like shiva`s gurd, assault cuirass, etc. buy blademail if enemy heros have lots of agi heros and does kills in few hits, like troll, ursa, anti, etc. after buying blademail, blink in when enemy hero is with his creeps and do call, activite blademail, the enemy should die really fast, if dosent, use battle hunger and ult to chase him down. xD

- Phase boot, for armor &ms. then hood to counter nuker, vanguard, dagger, talisman of evasion (even if their attacak miss it can make CH too), heart. If the game continue replace hood w/ shiva and vanguard w/ cuiras (you can sell phase for boots of travel, you will need mobility this time to destroy enemy tower). And in your poll why you ask BH or helix first. It must be CH and BC, then stat. Hunger will stop if your enemy kill or deny something. It's easy unless your enemy can't do last hit because he worry about something or not skilled player, and regen make the dmg useless.
There are only three use of hunger:
1) Against Blink Dagger users: Casting BH against a Dagger user can break totally a team combo if you find the blinker hidden behind a tree just waiting for the right moment to go in and kill your entire team.
2) Chasing: Casting BH against a fleeing target won't let him uses potions or blinks.

Strategy
Seen any really retarded Axe dota players you want to tell everyone about? Got a great Axe build you want other people to try? Or maybe you have some new strategies dota players might be able to put to good use?

- 3) Finishing a lucky bastard: Sometimes happens of a lucky guy escapes of you with less than 50 HP, so you can just finish him casting a BH an pursueing for some seconds (for the exp).
But remembering: Don't get it more than lv1! Doesn't worths the spent points.
