What the item does
01
How it works
Passive bonuses: strength 10.
How I decide
«Ogre Axe: I buy this component for strength in the next trade.»
Ruslan UkrainskyiSpeaking through Rodya
- 01 Situation
- This hero benefits from the resources strength provides on the way to the chosen major purchase.
- 02 My decision
- I assess how ‘10 strength’ helps in the next trade. I check the next step, Black King Bar, against the immediate task rather than buying it automatically.
- 03 What I avoid
- I do not treat added strength as a separate active save from disables.
When I would buy it
At the start or on the way to a chosen upgrade. I buy an expensive component when it will not delay a more useful active ability.
Which heroes I would try it on
Examples based on mechanics. The role, opponents and team plan determine the final choice.
What to compare it with
Similar purposes do not make items interchangeable. I compare effect, price and timing.
