How to Play
Blink into a group, force them to attack you with Berserker's Call and let Counter Helix shred them, then execute the low target with Culling Blade.
Berserker's Call goes through Black King Bar, so it stays a reliable lockdown even when the enemy carry pops BKB.
Call reveals and locks invisible heroes like Riki and Bounty Hunter whenever they are near you.
Battle Hunger on a support who cannot easily last hit is huge lane damage, roughly 480 over 12 seconds.
Axe's high strength gain makes him naturally tanky, and with Vanguard plus bonus armor his Battle Hunger deals even more.
Maxing Battle Hunger first is a rising high MMR build for crushing weak lanes.
