3. Items choices

As you can see, I start the game with 2 Stout Sheildsand 1 Tangofor regen. I bought this items because I will start tanking from lvl 1 ( you need practice for this ). I will explain this in the next section.

To the Early stages of the game, I get my Vanguardand my Arcane boots. The reason why I bought Arcane boots because Axe has limitted mana pool. So getting it will solve your Mana problem.

MID GAME, TIME TO MAN UP! Get your Blink Daggerand your Blade Mailand let make some kills happen with your team!

LATE GAME, time to get your Luxury items.Give me ONE good reason why not to get thisSame with the Heart since it minus armor does stack with your "Berserker Call" minus armor.Tankiness, Intel and Initiation kicks, this thing is awesome to get, but it price it is expensive so getting it or not it all depense on YOU!Who doesn't want to run fast, and beside, mana is not your problem in late game anymore, so why not get this baby and bring chaos to all 3 lanes!!!Health Regen, and the ability to give your whole team magic resistance. Get it or not depense on YOU again.

4. Gameplay

Early game, if you are on the Radiant (Dire) side, go to your top (bottom) lane and stand on the road between the enemy team towers. This way, you will encounter and kill their enemy creeps, therefore taking away their exprience gainning from the creeps and also prevent their supports to go pulling creeps. Just be carefull and bring your lane partners with you when you do this because you WILL need someone to back you up.

Early game, after getting the Arcane Bootsand Vanguardtry to make kills happen in anyway possible (don't tower dive)

Mid game, with the Blink Daggerand Blade Mailin hand, be the team INITIATORS and group up as many enemy members as possible with your "Berserker Call" so that your team and you could massive damage to them before they get the upper hand. You MUST be the FIRST person to go in, and maybe the last person to come out.

Late game, you are not as strong as you are in the early game, but you are still really important in your team. Getting the required tank items such as ACand Heartwill help you carry on with your team till the end of the game.

5. Friends and Foes

Friends:
- DazzleHP regen and damage to anyone surrounding Axe, awesome combo. Also he will make immortal for a few seconds
- RylaiMana regen and disable, ain't she cute?
- Any other heroes that loves your "Berserker Call" such as Lich, Magnus, Enigma, and sometimes Legion Commander
Foes:
- Range carry heroes like Drow, Sniper- Disabler ( I don't have to tell name, you guys already know, I hate them )
- UrsaSeriously, How many "slaps" can you take from this beast before your health drop down to ZERO?
- LUCIFER THE DOOM BRINGERHe counters EVERYONE, even Axe.

6. Credits

That is it for my Axe guide. If you have any question or comments about it, you could put it in the comments and let me know, since there are a few details in my guide quite confusing for some people. For me, this is the most effective way to play Axe, but if you have anything to say about it, let me know.
