It Affects Units with Magical Immunity
- Should be used when trying to save an ally from being killed
- Also Used when enemy units would run away from you because your counter Helix has already got them onto the brink of death
Battle Hunger
==> top
It creates an insatiable hunger inside the enemy unit to kill. If the enemy unit afflicted with battle hunger does not kill some1 then he keeps losing HP until the battle hunger wears off.
It can be very deadly in the early to mid games

Counter Helix Starts Triggering when the attack on Axe begins , and not simply when the damage is dealt. ( Useful tip in situations where both you and enemy heroes have very less HP)

Strategies
==> top
Axe is an imba farming hero. Remember you are very very powerful early game. The reason the first skill upgrade is Counter Helix is cause it is your main farming ability. Now in any game there are three possibilities that arise.
Against 2 Melee
==> top
If you are up against two melee heroes, it is the best possible situation for you. Just go and block the creeps. The enemy heroes would not dare to come near you cause of your imba damage due to Counter Helix. If they do come near you then counter helix all the way. You would manage to get a lot of experience / gold from creep blocking this way. You might even end up getting a kill. If you have leveled up you can harass them with battle hunger. This way they would need to make frequent trips to the base and thus lose a lot of experience. If you are up against two enemy heroes in your lane then remember to call your partner along with you and creep block. Axe is an hero who is made to receive lots of damage , but you should also know your heroes limits and not go too much into the attacking mode. Keep an eye for the mid enemy hero as usually he might come to gank your lane very early in the game. ( usually happens when your lane hero asks for a lane change because they cant farm due to your constant harass and counter helix. )
Farm your vanguard as soon as possible as that is your main core item. You need the HP regeneration and the guard/armor. Some people do end up taking two vanguards, but i personally discourage that. This is cause two vanguards dont work well together. Once you get your Vanguard, get your boots and farm your way to Heart of Tarrasque. Heart of Tarrasque is very important for axe as he is going to be the recipient of a lot of damage. Usually it is axe who goes into the battle first as he is the tank of the team .
If farming to 3200 is becoming a problem then it would be advisable to make your Blademail ASAP. Once you get blade mail use the "Berserker's Call" + " BladeMail" combo. It ensures a huge amount of damage to the opponents. Kellen's daggers helps you to time your Berserker's call properly.
Never Use Lothar on axe as it is truly a total waste of your money.
Against 1 Melee + 1 Range
==> top
==> top
Axe's counter helix wont probably harass the ranged hero much. So u need to be careful here. Cause while you might be busy farming your way, the ranged hero might be secretly killing you. In this case you might need to constantly harass him with your Battle hunger. So you will obviously need more mana.. Mostly ranged heroes are weaker heroes than stronger melee heroes. So you can harass if you have enough mana.
The Berserker's Call is useul against ranged heroes cause you can force them to attack you and "Berserkers"+"Blademail" + Battle Hunger is GG!!!
When you are up against two range you need to be careful early game, especially cause you wont be having imba HP regen then and you will definitely almost need the help of your lane partner if you would want to go for a kill. Most of the times, you would just do a lot of damage to your enemy player when you are counter helixing , and when the enemy hero tries to run , people use the battle hunger.
This is not right
What you should do is to use the battle hunger first and then attack. What this does is that it constantly damages the enemy when he is fighting with you . obviously if he focuses on the creeps he will be damaged a lot by you so either ways you would be at an advantage. And in case he manages to get away, with low HP you use the battle hunger again for the fianl kill.
Against 2 Ranged Heroes in Lane
==> top
==> top
In this case you are sure to be getting harassed a lot. Well in this case if you observe your other lane heroes to be up against melee heroes it is more sensible to ask for a lane change as your farming is going to be seriously affected in this type of laneplay. However in case it doesnt make sense to change lanes (which may happen in case of other lane also having range enemy heroes) just stick around your lane. Try to get the last hits and deny your own creeps. This ensures that you do not end up too deep into / near the enemy tower . As soon as you farm your ring of health I would personally advise you and your ally(lane - ally ) to go for the kill. This is keeping in mind that usually range heroes are weaker heroes and hence can be easily killed. However if they are tower hugging it is advisable not to go too aggressive. Also get a void stone as soon as possible cause if you see the skill build you can see that you will need to harass the ranged heroes a lot with Battle Hunger. So it would be better if you had good mana regen.
