Tips and Tricks

Troll Warlord moves more quickly in melee, making it simpler to pursue or flee from adversaries. Additionally, it enhances your armor, allowing you to take less damage overall by switching to melee mode anytime you are attacked.

Remember that you still have a ranged form when your target enemy’s melee form starts to get more difficult to pursue.

Roshan can be easily killed by a Troll Warlord equipped with Morbid Mask and a few Fervor points because of his strong root and quick attack speed on single targets.

Troll Warlord’s superior attack speed is what gives him his power; therefore, supplement it with items that increase damage.

Troll Warlord’s Ability

BERSERKER’S RAGE

Troll Warlord switches from employing ranged to melee strikes while in action. The target of a melee assault has a chance to become ensnared, restricting movement or the use of mobility spells. Additionally, armor and base attack time are reduced by Berserker’s Rage, which also increases movement speed.

While Berserker’s Rage is active, Whirling Axes behave differently.

WHIRLING AXES (RANGED)

Troll launches a cone-shaped handful of five axes over a range of 950.0, delaying and harming opponent units.

WHIRLING AXES (MELEE)

Troll attacks with two axes, injuring nearby enemy units and making them miss certain attacks in a close-range area of effect.

FERVOR

Troll’s attack speed increases with every sustained strike against the same victim. The stacks are reduced to zero if the Troll changes targets.

BATTLE TRANCE

Troll summons a potent combat trance that compels you to repeatedly prioritize heroes while attacking the next hostile unit within 900.0 range. In this setting, damage does not render you dead. gives you increased movement, attack, and life-steal rates. Apply a Simple Dispel.
