Background story

Gifted with a tremendous body and an ever-growing fortitude, Bradwarden's courage is only matched by the size of his heart. Prophesied as a savior by the oracles of his tribe, Bradwarden is the living token of the allegiance of the centaurs to the Sentinel. He swings his axe with massive force, sometimes even hurting himself when doing so. The ground trembles every time he slams his hoof and his reflexes are impossible to surpass; allowing him to retaliate just after being attacked. Bradwarden is decided to fulfill his destiny, and he knows that the upcoming battle will become his ultimate challenge.

Item build (Core)



At start buy these. It will increase your survivability. Some may say, "Tjus is a stupid item build." But I've OWNED in a lot of games with this first build.



To get a lot of kills early game, you need a lot of health regeneration and movement speed and HP.



If you picked this hero when there's a lot of papers, there are a lot of spell casters and DPSers. These items will make you able to spam your nuke. These 2 items and the thread boots are your core. You choose items you want from the next list.

Item build (Changes depending to your enemies)



These 2 items. If you're having trouble with spell casters you should take linken's. But if you're not having trouble with spell casters and you're OWNing you should get blood stone for the charge bonus.



Oh yes. These two items. The blade mail's damage return stacks with your Return. If there are DPSers like Morthred, buy Blade Mail. They have a bad allergy to this blade mail. The BKB is useful when you are getting your a** nuked to death. This will make you magic immune and your enemies won't be able to nuke you.
