Starting Items: Stout Shield, Tango, Healing Salve, Iron Branch
Core Items: Phase Boots, Vanguard, Blink Dagger, Blade Mail (late game) Luxury Items: are very situational and they depend very much on your needs. You can choose Radiance for great carry ability, Heart of Tarrasque for maximum tankiness or Hood of Defiance if there are many magic users in the enemy team. Early-Game Axe is a great jungler but also a very hard hero to jungle properly with. In order to be very effective, you must stack the camps or double tank. Stacking the camps means that you must pull out of their initial location the neutrals at the exact time the next wave of neutrals have to spawn. If the camp will be empty, another group of neutrals will spawn there, granting you 2 groups. Why do you need this? Because you are Counter Helix. The more hits you get, the bigger the chance to activate. Double tanking is when you pull two groups of neutrals and fight both at the same time. The logic is the same, the more hitters, the greater the chance to activate Counter Helix. Mid-Game By mid-game you should have already farmed most of your core items, preferably all. Now you can really start your tanking career and start helping your teams in ganks, initiating and constantly harassing. The strategy is fairly simple: Start with Battle Hunger, Blink in the group of enemies, use Berserker’s Call and see them melt. When the HP of a hero is low enough, just use Culling Blade for a guaranteed kill. By the time the whole fight is over, your Battle Hunger skill has finished its cooldown, so don’t forget to use it again if needed. This is all you need to do during the mid-part of the game: gank gank gank. Late-Game Late game is about taking out the most dangerous enemies. Because of your high defense and HP, you must kill the supports or carries first that might make a huge hole in your team if left alone. Your ultimate is a great way to quickly dispense 1 enemy, already remaining in numeric advantage in a 5vs5 fight. Your Counter Helix and Battle Hunger won’t do that much damage at this stage, so you must rely on your team and on your farmed items to keep you alive and spinning. Your Blade Mail will ensure some extra damage though, which can be devastating if you have a lot of defense and HP and can take lots of damage. There isn’t much you can do at this stage but keep ganking with your team and pulling that high damage on you. Final Words Axe is an extremely powerful tank and one of the best initiators in the game (provided you have Blink Dagger). His farming and jungling skills ensure that you will have a good gold flow that will provide you with the needed items. HE is not a very hard hero to master, but mastering the farming and jungling mechanics are mandatory to ensure you stay competitive throughout the game.
