    The new talents have tremendously buffed him. He can maintain his power spike practically throughout the entire game (dropping somewhat at level 12 and 20 only). 6 strength is decent at level 10. At level 15, he gains +75 damage letting him hit for 200. At 25, the Battle Hunger gives him a 1.5k nuke with 5 sec cd.

            its an 1000 damage nuke

            Shou

              Ye but its a DoT. And 15 armor is a lot. Especially on a hero like axe who has to jump into everyone.

                  Oh wait
                  I would take the dps unless I'm playing against enigguh or whatever hero with creep denying ability

                        But do they have the skillset to cancel it? That is the question
                        Everything is situational

                        Shou

                          15 armor is so much, and battle hunger is bad when like everyone has bkb. Its good at rekting supports, and its not bad, but 15 armor helps u deal with enemy weaver and lunas and slardars that are all too common.

                              Battle hunger = cast on support and they die
                              15 armor = better against farmed enemy cores

                              Shou

                                I think it wud be better to make battle hunger slow attack speed instead of dps.

                                  in lane play passive unless a melee hero tries to trade hits with you at lvl 5. ur goal is to get xp and ideally (lol) pms talon and headress

                                  get level 6 smoke urself and gank mid

                                  farm and gank with every chrono ideally, you need it for teamfights though also so keep that in mind.

                                  BE PATIENT with your damn chrono, remember it is almost always better to catch someone with the front edge of chrono than in the middle. if you need to you can get someone with the rim of it so a melee hero like ursa can hit, but it isn't super reliable especially ifthey are running around, missing them is the worst thing that can happen. do your best to not hit allies unless they don't matter (hero like tide that has already dropped combo) or they are already fucked

                                  some games u will need to hide in fog and try to catch 3-4 heroes in chrono, because your team is fucked. some games u only need a 2 person chrono where 1 is a vital core. always be aware of who is near your chrono, this is crucial. a 2 man chrono next to your tinker + luna is better than two 5 man chronoes when you are alone

                                  some heroes like slark u need to wait for them to burn everything because W fucks them, invo is another easy one especially before scepter

                                  ive played 1 game this patch https://www.dotabuff.com/matches/2960100604

                                  i think tread hotd is definitely the build, i followed it up with manta mael blink but im sure blink aghs or something is situationally ok, it depends on if your heroes can kill their heroes in chrono or not. end chrono with centaur stomp for an additional 2s stun duration on 1-2 heroes

                                          do you know how battle hunger works ?

                                          Beks

                                            if need no armor ( no slardar no ls ) then hunger
                                            if have shiva and think u dont need more get hunger

                                                  Axe is fucking busted and anyone that picks him in 7.00-.02 has a small wee wee

                                                    If axe pops BM and wyvern ults him, does the BM proc damage on the rest of his team?

                                                    Shou

                                                      Shudnt it hit the wyvern? The bm dmg?

                                                        +100 hunger dps is the way to go and the mana regen level 10 is kreygasm. for surree
