I just started playing axe. I need a few tips though with gear order.

start off with Shield/ tree

And 1st point into WW thingy.

Advice on gear order and stat?

skill order:

helix
call
call
helix
call
blade
call
helix
helix
stats rest of the way and get ulti when you can

item order:

shield, 6x tango, and flask to start.
buy ring of health
get either blink dagger or finish vanguard
get phase boots
get shivas or heart or AC (depending on enemies)

yeah this

i usally get the same although i sometimes get hood depending on the other team

Yep. Vanguard is "out" atm, getting hood after dagger is pretty usual. Armlet can also work, especially for the burst damage and playing midgames with 1hp 501 hp kill, but as he really thought axe had a windwalk, i doubt he would be able to pull off proper armlet usage

iight, tyvm. Is bloodfury useful or just a slot filler?

Slot filler Imo.

Decent players could just deny their teammates if they are about to die from fury.

Your skill/item build is going to vary depending on whether you are playing in a lane or farming neutrals at the beginning

For a lane I would go
spin
hunger
hunger
spin
spin
ult
spin
call
(max call and ult over stats, hunger at 24/25)
items:
RoR
bracer
bracer
boots
RoR
finish hood
Blink dagger
Radiance
Heart
if possible replace bracers with hearts

for neutrals, like this
spin
call
spin
call
spin
ult
spin
call
call
(finish ult and stats, no hunger till 22)
items:
stout shield + flasks
RoH
finish vanguard
boots
bracer
bracer
blink dagger
then finish build same as before except keep the vanguard




You can't deny battle hunger.....I assume that's what you mean by fury

Well the other guy said it was fury so i just didn't feel like correcting him.

And yes you can deny hunger, along with Doom and curse of silent, and i believe you can deny poison, not sure on the poison one though

you can deny doom and shadow strike, but not battle hunger, cots, or .....the one from bloodseeker I can't remember the name

hunger is like the worst skill ever. it only works in -apem pubs where people don't know how to last hit. otherwise, its 100% worthless. when axes spam me with hunger I just last hit a creep and lol.
