DOTA's Madness Chapter 78

Chapter 78: Axe's Creep Cut

There are no heroes on the bottom lane. Where will the Scourge heroes go?

Thinking of this, Dazzle's face changed, and he quickly warned through the communication function on the nameplate: “Heroes in bot lane are missing, be careful!”

However, his response was too late. Before his words fell, the majestic announcement of the BG platform came from the sky.

First Blood!

Zhao Dingguo just replenished the first soldier, and the blood appeared!

Surprised, Zhao Dingguo quickly checked the battlefield statistics. It turned out that Leshrac was killed by the Scourge's Anti Mage, a.s.sisted by the Lich and Vengeful Spirit! 3vs2, with the element of surprise, he got the First Blood in one fell swoop!

“Where is the last person?”

Dazzle noticed that Alleria the Windrunner was only one facing Huskar in the middle lane. But when the second wave of treant soldiers set off, he knew who the fifth hero of the Scourge was!

Axe!

This was a melee-powered hero who possessed a taunting skill. The ultimate was Culling Blade. When the enemy's health was less than a certain value, his ultimate could directly kill the opponent.

However, his most representative skill was the third skill – Counter Helix!

When attacked by an enemy, it granted him a certain chance to launch a counterattack, causing at least 100 points of damage to surrounding enemies. Therefore, the hero's favorite situation was that many melee units with low attack power to fight around him. In this way, he could constantly trigger Counter Helix. Although this pa.s.sive effect was triggered at a certain interval, it's only at most 0.65 seconds. Once it was triggered a few times, the damage would be very horrible!

In comparison, a wave of treant soldiers was undoubtedly that kind of situation.

With a Stout s.h.i.+eld on his body, Axe could easily enter lane's hinterland, and then broke off a wave of soldiers. This technique was called “creep cut”. In this way, not only he could enjoy a wave of soldiers' experience and money alone, but also allow his own side's soldiers approach the enemy's tower, and finally achieved the goal of quickly pus.h.i.+ng the tower!

At this moment, Axe rushed out of the jungle when the second wave of treant soldiers just crossed the second tower and did a creep cut!

“Axe!”

Seeing him appear, Dazzle frowned deeply. This hero's ultimate skill was the natural counter of his skill Shallow Grave, and his creep cut has also seriously interfered with Zhao Dingguo's last hit score!

“We must try to kill Axe, or seriously injure him at the very least!”

Dazzle quickly made up his mind and informed Zhao Dingguo. Otherwise, he alone could not kill Axe.

“Good!”

Zhao Dingguo also knew that he couldn't ignore Axe, so after he reluctantly cleared the wave of ghouls under the tower, he and Dazzle quickly rushed over. The hinterland of this line was their territory, how could they let Axe develop smoothly?

Axe apparently did not expect that Destroyer and Dazzle would come so fast, so he was still waiting to break the third wave of the treant. Seeing that he didn't leave, Zhao Dingguo and Dazzle rushed straight up.

“f.u.c.k, so decisive!”

Found that the Sentinel truly wanted to kill him, Axe swore, and did not dare to stay more, quickly turned around and ran into the jungle.

“Don't chase!”

Zhao Dingguo was about to pursue Axe, but was calmly held by Dazzle: “He also has Boots of Speed, thus his movement speed is not slower than us. Now we are only level 2. As long as he wants to escape, it's unlikely that we can kill him. If you chase after, you will fall to his scheme. Although he can't make money, both of us are also waste time! "

“You're right!”

Zhao Dingguo immediately responded, quickly followed the new treant soldiers back to the lane, and began to last hit.

After knowing the opposite lineup, the pressure in Zhao Dingguo's heart increased. If he was still satisfied with his own lineup at first, then after looking at the other side's lineup, he was not so optimistic.

The opponent had Anti Mage as the late carry, and then had Axe as the tanker. Windrunner and Vengeful Soul also each have their own stun skills. Although it's not AoE like Tidehunter, it cooled down faster. Not to mention the Lich, Zhao Dingguo had seen it in the Regular Match. Once the terrible ultimate came out, the team would be scattered!

Therefore, since the lineup was at a disadvantage, the performance of late carry was very important!

More pressure, more motivation!

At this moment, Zhao Dingguo started earning money seriously under pressure. He constantly adjusted his position, hiding behind the creep, and used Arcane Orb to make up for it.

However, Axe was clearly determined to carry out the creep-cutting strategy. When Dazzle and Zhao Dingguo returned to the tower, he sneaked around in the jungle for a while, slipped out again, and continued to cut the creep. He put on a posture of ” retreat when the enemy advance and advance when the enemy retreat”, which really caused Zhao Dingguo and Dazzle to have some headaches!

Without solving this Axe, they couldn't feel relieved.

After resolving another wave of ghouls, Zhao Dingguo and Dazzle again came toward Axe. But this time, they detoured a little and went through the jungle under a tower. And this time Axe's luck was not very good. Although he lost a lot of HP, he only triggered one Counter Helix in the end!

This is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity!

Dazzle rushed out of the jungle unexpectedly, and his Shadow Wave brought great trouble to Axe.

This skill was actually a combination of healing and AoE damage. It healed allied units, at the same time damaged nearby enemies in a small area. Although the specific value was only 140 points at level 4, the advantage was that it cooled down quickly and could jump up to four nearby units. And this damaging effect could also be stacked!

In other words, as each of the three treant soldiers wound him was healed once, Axe took damage three times!

Although Axe's ultimate countered Dazzle's Shallow Grave, once Axe tried to cut the creep, Dazzle's Shadow Wave also make Axe very uncomfortable. This reflected some extent the relation of heroes in DOTA!

Axe's remaining HP was only one half. After eating Shadow Wave's damage, his HP was even more severe. However, seeing that Zhao Dingguo did not show up, Axe thought that only Dazzle came over, and coupled with the desire to last hit a few nearby treants who had only a little of HP left, he stayed for a few more seconds!

This would, undoubtedly, determine his death!

Dazzle's Shadow Wave had a cooldown time of only four seconds. By the time Axe killed all the treant soldiers and turned around to escape, he had eaten two Shadow Waves in succession. Not mention that this was a Death Match, Dazzle had Power Treads and Ring of Basilius, thus his attack power and as was not low. By the time Axe got into the jungle, he had only a little health left!

He was naturally ambushed by Zhao Dingguo's attack!

If Zhao Dingguo followed Dazzle as soon as he came up, Axe would definitely turn around and run. Now he hid on the route that Axe ran away from last time, Axe had no hope to escape!

In addition to the killing rewards, the experience reward has also raised him to level 3 in one fell swoop!

After making a kill, basically it made up for the loss of being interrupted by Axe in the early stage. While he was still counting for resurrecting in the Scourge base, Zhao Dingguo seized the opportunity and developed rapidly.

At this time, the battle in the top and middle lanes was in full swing!

The Scourge arranged Axe to defend the bot lane alone, and gathered three heroes on their advantage road. With the advantage in number, naturally, their idea was to crush a lane first. Although the combination of Tidehunter and Leshrac was very sharp, as the two knew each other before, and the cooperation was quite tacit, but First Blood was first obtained by Anti Mage at the beginning, so they were firmly suppressed!

The Scourge used the advantage to dive into the tower. Although Leshrac was successfully killed, Lich who rushed too far was also hit by a Gush of Tidehunter. This was a skill that combined deceleration, damage, and armor reduction. With the attack of the defense tower, Lich also lost his life!
