Stats
Why Use Fire Axe?
Fire Axe is an excellent choice for heroes that want to pressure enemies over time rather than relying entirely on burst damage. The item's burning effect continues damaging enemies long after the initial attack. While each damage tick may seem small, the total damage can become significant over multiple engagements. One of the most valuable aspects of Fire Axe is its ability to delay enemy health regeneration — since burning damage continues for several seconds, affected enemies cannot begin their natural regeneration until the burn expires. This makes Fire Axe especially effective against heroes that rely on disengaging and recovering between fights.
