: Before he can realise it, Troll Warlord will tear off a chunk of his Health if an enemy activates Blade Mail Item Old Abilities Changelogs Blade MailBL A razor-sharp coat of mail, it is the choice of selfless martyrs in combat. Cost2200 Bought FromArmor Active Damage Return Bonus +10 Intelligence+6 Armor+22 . If the only targets close enough to Troll Warlord are ones that have Blade Mail activated, Troll Warlord won`t have a target to focus on to lifesteal, and is forced to either retreat or eventually die from the attacks of his enemies. - Heaven`s Halberd: Troll Warlord relies solely and on his attack damage to output a lot of damage while maintaining his own survival. Heaven`s Halberd will completely disarm Troll Warlord and turn him harmless while his enemies focus him/attempt to escape by blinking or teleporting away. Heaven`s Halberd can also manage to disarm Troll Warlord for 5.5 seconds should he switch to ranged.
- Scythe of Vyse: Scythe of Vyse is generally better than heaven`s halberd on Troll Warlord, because its duration is more consistent and doesn`t rely on Troll Warlord`s current attacking state and provides a longer disarm (along with silencing and muting Troll Warlord) duration should Troll Warlord be in melee range within someone. Scythe of Vyse also guarantees that Troll Warlord won`t escape by setting his base movement speed to 100 and preventing him from using any escape items such as Town Portal Scroll.

Bad against...

The bonus armor provided by Berserker`s Call means that Troll Warload will suffer a lot more than Axe.
- Troll Warlord`s survivability relies on his ability to lifesteal with his high DPS. Ice Blast completely nullifies any healing Troll Warlord receives, thus limiting his survivability and turns it comparable to that of any other fragile hero, as well as dealing magical damage.
- Ancient Apparition can also significantly slow Troll Warlord with his Ice Vortex to prevent him from getting too close to his teammates or running away with his Berserker`s Rage and successfully kite him if he switches to melee mode, and keeping him disabled with his Cold Feet while dealing significant damage, should Troll Warlord get confused between running away and staying.

Cost5550 (700) Bought FromWeapons Active if this becomes a problem.
- Shrapnel and Headshot slows Troll Warlord down, a lot.

Good against...
Anti-Mage- Whirling Axes (Melee) provides a 60% miss chance, thus auto attack of Anti-Mage has little chance to land on Troll Warlord in laning phase.
- Berserker`s Rage together with Troll Warlord`s high attack speed gives Troll a high chance of passive bash, which allows Troll Warlord to manfight Anti-Mage without a net worth disadvantage, even knock him out when Anti-Mage is stunned.
- Still, beware that Anti-Mage can farm much faster than Troll Warlord after getting Battle Fury. Anti-Mage is capable of killing Troll Warlord with Abyssal Blade and Butterfly with an advantage on items.
- Whirling Axes (Melee) provides a 60% miss chance, thus Huskar`s Burning Spear has little chance to land on Troll Warlord.
