Axe: The 1v5

Introduction

So first of all Axe is not my favorite hero but probably one of my best. This build is meant to dominate a whole team and make you a very hard carry. I originally made it when I was in low priority and my whole team quit because the other team was very OP: like ursa, Drow, and Riki all on one team, so my goal was to come out on top still. This I did I won in a 1v5 against that team.

Pros / Cons

PROS
-Very easy to get kills early game.
-Super durable late game
-High AOE DMG and attack speed
-Helix and Mjollnir allow for 5 people nuke
-The other team will hate you so much


CONS
-Low DMG early game
-Need a lot of farm
-Not good if they have a high tank team
-Dont get ult until lvl 8

Items and why

-The two stout shields make it super easy to pull creep waves at lvl 1 and tangos for obvious reasons.

-The boots make it so you can pull a creep wave and at the end have full HP again getting you ready for the huge amount of farm you will need. You only need one vanguard so you can get rid of the other stout shield once you buy this and buy now you are ready to pull every single wave of creeps. The plate mail and hyper stone are just to set you up of assault cuirass.

-Once you finish AC you move on to Maelstorm this is amazing for the chain effect and that its part of the next set of items buy now you should be able to 1v3 and they should hate you.

-The rest of the items are self explanatory and once you have them its GG and you should be very happy with this build.

-The blink dagger is pretty great on zxe but not a must have so if you love to use them go for it otherwise its okay the ULT stick is pretty rad it gives it like no cooldown and you can just splat everyone but again not a must. The hood is if you up against Lina lion KOTL or zues they wont be able to just rape you anymore.

Skills

Well first of all his best skill is his passive the helix this is why you can be stupidly aggressive it will do large AOE DMG if you are being attacked and makes you un-killable to a melee right click hero. This is why you want to max this skill as fast as possible so you can kill wave after wave of creeps.

Next you will use your B call this is a skill you only get one point in because if you need to get some extra armor for a second or you want to pull some creeps you have it at your disposal this skill is much better late game in a team fight because once everyone is attacking you you will helix non stop and destroy everyone in your AOE.

Battle hunger can be used of two different things one you can stand back and troll melee heroes with it and watch it eat away there full HP or you can use it like I do, I come in do some DMG to them get them low health and when they start to run away I drop a Battle hunger on them so as they try to run back to base they die. This is similar to the low HP insta kill you have with your ULT but it has a much longer range.

Okay last and maybe least used by me is your Culling Blade this has a DMG household and i they are under it you can instantly kill them yes this is a great skill but not the most continent and it is very tempting to kill steal with it. In team fights I am typically to to busy trying to take all the hits for my team so I can helix so I forget about it A LOT.

Not Done

This is not finished. I will get to it eventually.
