Blinding Axe


Background Story:
When the Sentinel first gathered their forces, The Troll Warriors were considered primitive and unreliable. Their pride wounded, many refused to join, some even considering siding with the Scourge. Only a hotheaded young Warlord called Jah'rakal joined the Sentinel. Known as "Blinding Axe" in troll tongue, both for the blinding speed of his axes and his trademark blind technique, his unstoppable rampages have already made him a legend among his allies. However Jah'rakal fights not for the Sentinel, or even to defend the Ancients, but to show Elves, Men, Orcs and anyone else that trolls are the best fighters in the world.

1. Foreword

I made this guide as, well Troll Warlord is one of my favourite hero and there are decent guides or better ones out there. But I decided I shall make one guide that shall be updated regularly and add new builds when they become viable. To make it the ultimate Troll Warlord guide. Hope you all like it and plz tell me what else to put in.



2. Introduction

Troll Warlord is famous for permanently bashing his opponents untill they die if he's farmed. He, like Bloodseeker , Windrunner and many others dominate pubs as rarely will people in pubs gank the troll warlord when he is int he jungle unless they have a ganker hero.. You like stun-locking people until they die? Well this guide is for YOU! Read on!

Tip: ALWAYS gank Troll Warlord in the early game.



3.When to pick Troll Warlord

-When you're playing in a pub.
-You love to stun-lock people
-When They have a few or zero stunners
-When you like Mindlessly killing Neutral creeps for at least 13 minutes

When not to pick Troll Warlord

-In Comp games ( NOT a good idea. )
-They have lots of stunners
-When there is a ganker is in your opponent's team, They will gank you in the jungle which results in a fat ganker and a useless troll.

4. Skills

Berserker Rage

Ability Type: Toggle
Targeting Type: Instant
Ability Hotkey: G
Jah'rakal goes berserk, using his throwing axes as melee weapons. He gains bonus damage, movement speed, attack speed, hit points, armor, and the Bash ability, but can only attack at melee range.

Nothing to explain. It just gives you a melee form and a Ranged form


Blind

Ability Type: Active
Targeting Type: Unit
Ability Hotkey: D
A searing light blinds the vision of a target enemy unit, making it miss on some attacks.

Jah'rakal's "Signature" move, only useful in laning though.

Fervor

Ability Type: Passive
Targeting Type: N/A
Ability Hotkey: F
When Jah'rakal engages an opponent, his animalistic nature grants him even greater proficiency in single combat. With each continuous blow on the same target, Jah'rakal gains understanding of the prey's defenses, and guides each strike with greater ease than the last.

Caps at 100% extra attack speed this skill allows permanent Bashing and it's also the reason why Jah'rakal is known for his attack speed.

Battle Trance

Ability Type: Active
Targeting Type: Instant
Ability Hotkey: R
Jah'rakal unconsciously uses dormant magic to awaken the savagery of every warrior on the battlefield. Greatly increases attack speed for a short duration, and lasts twice the duration on Jah'rakal.

Global attack speed increase, makes permanent bashing even easier!

6.Items

Starting Items:





Core:



other core items


Get these if you want to they are mainly optional if you farmed a lot before 20mins get it.

You should have your core items before 20 minutes and once you have them, You have completed your "training" in your jungle and you are ready to rape. If all your enemies are hiding, go jungle, get fatter and get more money .


Post-Core:

Your engaging tool, get one. This is a MUST!!.


Provides Damage , AS and Evasion, What's not to love? This Luxury baby is a must if you can afford. A agility heroes favourite item.


Increases your dps by a pretty big amount for it's price and extra MS. Must get this can turn it into a manta.


DPS increase.. This baby is pretty much a MUST



Don't you just get annoyed! when your prey lands a stun on you and escapes?
Well with BKB You can kill a whole team (Provided you are fat). It's highly recomended.


Upgrades for Yasha. ONLY get this when you got nothing else to buy and you got yasha. The confusion caused is also fun for you.


Epic Life steal, Good upgrade for your helmet of the dominator. GET IT when you got cash.


For Motred and people who lots of evasion.

Rejected items


Helm of the dominator gives damage and armor and only has 2% less lifesteal, Also with battle trance, You don't need the berserk it gives. Not to mention helmet of the dominator can be upgraded to satanic.


This is dota 6.69c. You need to go to hospital and ask for a brain transplant ASAP.


If you wanna get this slap yourself first and then go get a bloody Yasha.

Remember to leave comments about the items!

7.Laning

Choosing a lane...

If you're playing as Scourge I'd recommend you go top and if you're playing for Sentinel the bottom lane is the best choice.

The idea is simple... always take the lane near the neutral's campsites to assure good farming. If you are facing dangerous heroes in a lane, I'd recommend you stick to the jungle and farm until you're ready to go out.

Remember that your more of a jungler than a laning hero so just keep farming up for those neutrals.


How to avoid ganks:

1. You must establish good communication with your team-mates! (a must)
2. Place wards along key areas where ganks usually take place.
3. Don't stray in one place for too long/always move from one farming spot to another however it is not advisable that you farm in the other side of the river unless you have a companion and or your enemy is busy defending their base.

*Warning: Always watch out for missing enemy heroes.


8. Allies/Enemies

Good Allies

Stunners/Disablers/Slowers


They Stun and you go in and bash. Easy as that.

Special Mention

He: Time Walk, Whack! and Time Lock
You: Go in, Battle trance.
Opponent: Permanently bashed to death.


BAD Enemies

Stunners/Disablers/Slowers


Chain-stun just KILLS you.

Special Mention:

Remember Your best buddy? Well you lot had a fight and now your his number 1 enemy.


Make sure your teammates and you don't feed him and You're going to be alright and might start owning.
