Hero Skills Breakdown
1. Wild Axes
Rexxar hurls his two axes outward, which then intersect and return to him. Each axe can only damage a unit once. Before the damage axe shutters enemy's armor, causing it to receive extra damage from any source owned by the Beastmaster. This debuff stacks per each axe and can be refreshed by another axe hit.
- Damage Type: Magical
- Targeting: Point / Line
- Debuff Duration: 12 seconds
- Aghanim's Scepter Upgrade: Removes the cooldown completely, allowing Rexxar to recast the axes as soon as they return to his hands.

4. Primal Roar

- Crowd Control: Single Target Piercing Stun, AoE Knockback and Slow
- Secondary Slow Value: 60% reduction to attack and movement speed

Bottle, Boots of Speed, Magic Wand |
Resolves early mana issues from spamming Wild Axes, ensures baseline mobility, and provides burst survivability during early rotations. |

| Late Game |
Aghanim's Scepter, Assault Cuirass, Scythe of Vyse |
Scepter removes Wild Axes' cooldown for endless wave clear and damage stacking. Assault Cuirass amplifies attack speed and physical bulk, while Scythe chains crowd control. |
Quick Gameplay Tips
- Vision Dominance: Always treat your Hawk as a moving Ward. Park your high-level Hawk invisibly over high-ground choke points or Rosh pits to completely shut down enemy smoke plays and counter-ganks.
- Perfect Initiation: Utilize your Blink Dagger to reposition safely behind or to the flank of an enemy line. Cast Primal Roar on key targets to knock supporting units aside, slicing open a direct path for your physical damage team or your Necronomicon summons to swarm.
- Amplified Burst Stacking: When chasing or locking down a target, cast Wild Axes immediately before and during your physical focus. Since the armor-shuttering debuff stacks per axe and lasts 12 seconds, Rexxar and his summoned units deal exponentially higher physical output to targets caught in the crossfire.
