General DiscussionAxe dagon

No
Not a legit 3rd item
Usually u go blink blademail then force/bkb/pipe/crimson then a luxury heart/shiva's/aghs
Nothing abt dagon is needed by axe.

It's dogshit. It used to be done sometimes back in the time when helix was physical and axe couldn't use blademail to its full potential. Ever since helix became pure and blademail was changed to be useful with berserker's call, your damage started scaling with the enemy's, and if the enemy deals little damage, you will kill them with the pure helix eventually, anyways.

Axe's damage output can be really good if with just blink and blademail and then some utility/defensive items, so there's no reason to get a dagon. If you absolutely have to dish out magical damage, even a malestrom/mjollnir is a better choice since you can really make the use of the active, and with the damage talent your right clicks are nothing to scoff at, anyways. You also don't have the mana pool to spam dagon.

as situational as tide hunter dagon

REAL SHIT NI🅱🅱A

if you wanna throw and get reported

might as well as good as not leveling call at all

dagon, yeah right. Go for mek instead

Oh mai gawd

yes because Axe has such a nice big juicy mana pool

honestly id rather have a nice juicy set of second boots

It's a legit 4th or 5th item

^it is a legit 10th item , dagon is around 7k gold item = heart/bkb + forcestaff , there is no situation ever happened in dota when you play axe and you are like "damn if i just got my dagon ,this fight result will be completely different"

Good thinking,every item might potential be situations good,keep that in mind.

Don't get trap in situation that you know 'best build' and still 3K-7K,not even in tier 3 pro screen.

Could be a solid 3rd item after blink and blademail

lmao dude how is it solid when you have heart/shiva/bkb/forcestaff/shadowblade/euls that you absolutely need to stay relevant thought the game, you sink 7k gold (lets say every cs=50 you just threw 140 cs of the window) to get a half-assed item that literally don't help you do anything as initiator/offlaner

lack of mana, tried a couple of times, rarely works

You need Aether lens too.

No one said you gonna rush lvl 5 dagon,its legit when you counter heroes like pa,slark especially,squishy heroes all around,as someone mentioned also help you with mana pool very important to ulti kill multiple heroes even rampage

greaves axe ? axe need mana and hp . new meta?

a BM does the job for those heroes you mentioned

probably good for solo killing nothing more

buy bloodstone too while youre at it
