How to play Pudge vs Axe
ADVICE
- Axe is faster (315 movement speed against 280): hook from fog rather than chase.
- Berserker's Call, Counter Helix and Culling Blade pierce spell immunity, so Black King Bar on Pudge does not stop them.
- Counter Helix has Axe's shortest base cooldown: 0.3 s at level 1. Expect it more often than the other abilities.
- Culling Blade has the longest base cooldown: 80 s at level 1. Once it is used, Axe waits a while to use it again.
