**********************************************************************************
>>> My Skill Build <<<
**********************************************************************************Berserker's Call
- A very effective disable.
- Great combo with Counter Helix.
- I always max Berserker's Call second.
- I always max Berserker's Call second.
Battle Hunger
- Harass skill. Using on enemy hero when there is no creep for him to kill.
- I always max Battle Hunger first.
Counter Helix
- Great skill which makes enemy melee heroes cry.
- I learn a level of this at level 2, but only max it after Battle Hunger and Berserker's Call are maxed.
Culling Blade
- Good ending move.
- I always check enemy hero's HP before using this skill, so that I wont waste it.
Bonus Attributes
- I only start adding this after I max all skill.
**********************************************************************************
>>> My Item Build <<<
**********************************************************************************
Power Tread (PT)
Boot of Travel (BoT)
- Either PT or BoT is good for Mogul.
- If rich, get BoT, or else, just get PT.
Bracer
- I get 2 Bracers at early game.
- They help quite a lot in early game.
Vanguard
- Helps Mogul a lot by tanking damages.
- Has great combo with Counter Helix.
- Help to farm, just let the creeps hit you and Counter Helix will kill the creeps, while Vanguard helping you to take less damage.
Kelen's Dagger of Escape
- Combo with Berserker's Call.
Heaven's Halberd
- Helps to get extra HP and able to slow down your target.
- The evasion won't reduce the chance of Counter Helix as Counter Helix checks for triggering whenever an attack against Axe begins, not when Axe is actually damaged by said attack.
Heart of Tarrasque (HoT)
- This make Mogul a very powerful tanker.
- Normally I get 2 HoT for him.
- Normally I get 2 HoT for him.
**********************************************************************************
>>> Why I do not get other items <<<
**********************************************************************************
1. Satanic?
- I do get this if I think I need lifesteal in that game.
- If I decide to get this, I will not get SnY.
2. Vladmir's Offering (VO)?
- I will get this if I get Satanic.
- Great to boost a little armor and more lifesteal effect.
3. Assault Cuirass (AC)?
- I do get this if I am rich and none of my teammate getting it.
- I wont get both AC and VO, since their armor auras wont stack.

>>> How I play <<<
**********************************************************************************
- I always harass my enemy hero with Battle Hunger.
- I only start to be more aggressive after I reach level 6.
- I backstab my prey when he got some creeps (enemy creeps, the more the better it is!) around him.
- Get near to him and those creeps, Berserker's Call to make all of them attacking me.
- Hopefully, Counter Helix will triggers several times and lower my target's HP until its below 300. (I always click on my target, to check his HP)
- Culling Blade, thats it!
- When there is a gang fight, I mostly be the second tanker.
- Let the main tanker tank and drop HP till its around 50%, only then I rush in to cast Berserker's Call.
- That will waste the enemies' efforts on my team's main tanker, and they mostly wont have the abilities to kill me off.

Hey Thanks, That was a good one. Well justified. Axe is my favorite hero. My Game play is kind of a bit suicidal. I like to jump into the battle and take on everybody. Its the only hero except for Centaur that i survive with.. .lol..
Hi
i think ur kind of playing this hero might not be bad, but i think it wastes his real potential!
there are times you CANNOT play this strategy im writng of here
normally i play ar (so i have 850 in beginning) i dont like axe in other gamemodes cause my strategy is better with more strating gold how u will se (but it works with sd ap or rd gold as well)
so i will write how i play at ar (its best hero for most ar games)
i start with 2 stout shield (but i wont build 2 vanguard at any time!!) tango and life potion
i nearly always go to uplane and i wait at the forest between the 2 enemy towers (YEAH WITH LVL 1)
then when their creeps are coming i will chase them between those towers if there is a enemy hero i will attack HIM the creeps will follow me and the counterattack skill will trigger really often!
i dont try to kill heroes when there are no creeps attacking me in the eraly levels!
with lvl 2 you can make first blood in 90% of cases if you couldnt do it with lvl 1
just use berserkers call
in 30% i make firstblood with lvl 1 cause at uplane there are melee heroes most of the time and if they dont run away they die :D
normally i got vanguard and boots of speed with lvl 6
if the strategy works u will be lvl 6 and the others like 3 or 4
u can go chancing them even if they are togehter in groops of 2 now
after vanguard i get bracer(s) and then upgrade boots (i dont need to upgrade earlier cause the berserkers call helps much to kill)
i skill the dot ability its less mana and CD then ulti and it nearly everytime does the last damage that is needed when the opponent heroes can get away (if they can)
i go to forst whenever its in my way to shops or to base (even with 150 HP u can chace forestcreeps when u got vanguard)
problems with this hero :
stunners are REALLY annoying worst that can happen is a long stun
some ranged heroes who got good players :D can be hard to beat and u will have to escape
when u attack someone and the creeps attacking u are dieing or are not attacking U! the counterattack wont trigger often enough so realy care that u are attacked by creeps when u chace heroes !!! (especially in the earlier levels)
i think axe is not tooo good in the later game! agility heroes who have lifeleech can deal much more dmg then he can and they will leech enough life that the counterattack is not dealing enough anymore so i try to push when i am lvl 11 to 16 with the team
i think axe is the hero in dota with the greatest potential to do a firstblood at lvl 1 or 2
axe is a killerhero and YES he has a disabler spell the berserkers call disables !!!! so if u reach those ranged guys and get em in the call they will die really fast!! (so his thoughest enemys maybe are the easiest victims :P)
i think trying to get firstblood with axe at lvl 1 is the most fun in dota too XD
and most of the time other playersdont really know how to play against u
i had games where i was 1 vs 2 at uplane i was lvl 6 after some minutes and had 3 kills when i got the 2nd tower the opponents at the uplane where lvl 1 and didnt get even ONE point of experience until there i got 2 towers !!
other heroes were about lvl 4 (i began hunting)
there are times where my strategy doesnt work then just run away get ur health potion und go to the woods for the beginning
that gives ur team another solo hero what is great too (so its nothing lost if u cant play this strategy in the beginning)
Hmmm my build for Axe in order :
Bracer
Stout Shield
Stout Shield
Boots
Turn one S-Shield into Vanguard.
Treads
HoT
HoT
Butterfly/Curiass
This is best Axe build:
bot
(bracers)-optional
vanguard x1
don't get 2 VANGUARDS
hood of defiance
(blink dagger)-optional
(dagon)-optional
some people do get dagon as it ensures a kill. you blink behind your target then disable then by berserker call- this should activate a couple of helixes- and then use battle hunger + dagon then culling blade. DEAD
DAGON is not a total waste on Axe because it does give intelligence.
the extra intelligence = better farming with berserker call.
Heart
Shiva's guard or assault cuirass
i prefer Shiva over ac because it give mana and a frost attack with slow when activated - good when chasing heroes- Axe has very shit ms and also a good farming skill.Axe does not need attack speed. He farms and kills with counter helix.
the game should end when you finish Shiva or ac.
DON'T get dagon if your planning on getting Shiva.
Final notes:
Axe= Tank
poor late gamer
Can get a easy firstblood.
Outfarm and outlevel is a must.
very easy hero to use.
post above your noob axe starts with like 250mana + your dagon = maybe 300-500mana dagon already costs like 300 mana.. you'll have no mana for berserker call battle hunger or culling blade+blink NOOB!
well its actually 375 for dagon + 110 for beserker + 133 for battle hunger + 75 for kelens dagger of escape + 200 for ulti(culling blade)
375+135+75+110+200=895mana for dagon
he starts with 200mana + around 100-300mana = 300-500mana you can only use these combo's
Blink(75)+Beserker(110)+Dagon(375)
=560mana
or
Blink(75)+Beserker(110)+Battle hunger(135)+culling blade(200)=520mana
So you can really only have dagon or ulti+hunger but you should use blink and beserker so they cant run and for helixes then ulti or dagon,i prefer ulti because it hits 300 and kills if below 625 health as dagon hits 400 or +100 for every $1350.
So dagon or shivas would be shit for axe because its a waster of mana and he cant use his spells for important things like blink ulti and beserker.
I recommend vlads instead
Does anyone have any pro axe builds?
that costs around 12k?
Do you get 2x vanguards
or 1x vanguards and do they stack?
tell me if you know these answers
Teejihba your strategy is ok but you should not do that againsts certain heroes like sand king who can just stun u and then ulti and u will die instead of them. Dont try this against crystal maiden i was cm once and there was tiny axe and lion and i was on 500hp and axe was 500 tiny 700 lion 1.8k so i just ultied and i killed tiny cause he tried to stun me but got too close and axe tried to cunning me but my ulti killed him b4 he killed me =) as for lion he was on 1k hp and said they were so greedy and instead of ksing a kill they died.
morale: dont use axe and jump in for a cunning if u know they can kill u b4 you or your allies kill him.

THIS IS A LOAD OF CRAP! IT SUCKS WTF DO YOU MEAN AXE POOR LATEGAMER AND U SUCK WHY GET DAGON WHEN HIS ULTI IS WAY BETTER? IDIOT MIGHT AS WELL GET ALL STR HERWS DAGON? I BET YOU HAVENT EVEN TRIED THIS AND YOU LOST EVY GAME WITH AXE AND SAYING THIS SHIT TO LOOK LIKE YOUR THE PROEST AXE PLAYER.
Ummm
I think ur a noob getting satanic and SnY... i'll tell u wht an Axe build is
2 Vanguards when caluculated if u get 2 stout sheilds u receive 2 damage from each creep wich is fantastic and the 10 hp per second with 500 additional hp is AMAZING.
Phase Boots cuz you can attackfaster and u hve additional armour with it and u can outrun many heroes when or not activated wich is wicked.
Blink.
Desolator as it gives damage and decreases enemy's armour giving u an opportunity to apply more damage on the enemy.
And finalyy a heart.
Now.. Lifesteal IS NOT an option as the u wont be able to attack and lifesteal as ur most of the time spinning thanks to ur counter helix. SnY is a bad idea cuz ur not in need of attack speed here and why to you need agi :S
Shiva;s Guard is plain retarded and a waste of money.
Although Assault curiass is helpful its a waste of money.
Dagon.... You're brain is jus plain fuked.
Axe is an amazing hero with imba skillz.
