War Axe

For its predecessor, see  Bloodlust Axe.

“	This battleaxe is said to have been wielded by the Leonins' ancestors as they resisted the Abyss forces, along with the Elves. When they could fight no longer, the weapon and its power fell into a deep slumber. As of late, it has been awoken by the rage and battle spirit of a certain Leonin warrior.	”

Tips

“

Best equipped by Fighters that need good sustainability.

”

• War Axe is a fitting item for a fighter as it provides an adequate amount of HP, cooldown reduction, an improving physical attack, and a much appreciated spell vamp and true damage.
• A fighter that rely on spell vamp can perfectly sustain in combat allowing War Axe's "Fighting Spirit" to reach max stacks.
• It is a good item for pushing as it can deal extra damage at full stacks, easily attainable when attacking turrets.
• It is best coupled with  Brute Force Breastplate and  Queen's Wings to get physical attack, HP, cooldown reduction, physical defense, spell vamp, movement speed, resilience, damage reduction and true damage.
• It is also perfect with  Blade of Despair to increase the amount of physical attack.
• True Damage from War Axe can be triggered by attack effect.
  • If a hero with attack effect like Aulus equipped both War Axe and  Golden Staff, the True Damage can be triggered multiple times by  Golden Staff's "Endless Strike".
• Examples of Suitable Heroes:
  • Tanks: Barats, Fredrinn, Terizla
  • Fighters: Balmond, Ruby, Yu Zhong
  • Assassins: Lancelot, Yi Sun-shin

Notes

Not recommended for use by a mage, support, or marksman as its effects are weakened and they may not have that much of sustainability nor the durability to fully utilize War Axe's Fighting Spirit to reach its max 6 stacks, they may also not benefit from the physical attack and true damage it offers.
