"Go on, feed me."

Troll Warlord is an agility hero who is usually played as a hard carry. He has the unique ability to switch between a ranged attack and melee attack at any time, each having their own advantages. His Whirling Axes also differ depending on his attack type, granting him a potent slow or a accuracy-reducing debuff. Being a carry, Troll Warlord can get a very high physical damage output from items and his two other abilities that increase his attack speed. Fervor gradually makes him attack faster against a single target, while Battle Trance dramatically increases the attack speed of every hero on his team. Troll Warlord is definately not a hero you want to feed, or you might end up turning him into an unstoppable force.

Abilities

Berserker's Rage

Ability: No Target, Toggle
Bonus Damage: 15
Bonus Move Speed: 20
Base Attack Time: 1.55
Bonus HP: 100
Bonus Armor: 3
Bash Chance: 10%
Bash Duration: 0.8 / 1.2 / 1.6 / 2.4
Bash Damage: 20 / 30 / 40 / 50

Berserker's Rage turns you from a ranged hero into a melee hero, and vice versa. Although you will lose the natural advantages that comes with a ranged attack, being in melee mode will give you bonus damage, movement speed, attack speed, health, armor, and the chance to Bash enemies with your attacks, dealing extra damage and mini-stunning. Usually you should stay in ranged form for last-hitting or chasing down distant enemies, but melee form is more effective for large battles where you will need the extra survivability and damage.

Whirling Axes

Whirling Axes has two different effects depending on your current attack type.

Ranged

Ability: Target Point
Affects: Enemy Units
Damage Type: Magical
Axe Damage: 75
Slow Duration: 3 / 3.75 / 4.5 / 5.25
Movement Slow: 30%
Mana Cost: 50
Cooldown: 20

When in ranged form, Whirling Axes will launch five axes forward in a cone formation, which will do minimal damage and slow enemies. Obviously, you won't ever use this to deal damage, only using it for the movement slow. A 30% decrease is quite significant, and can help you catch up to an enemy hero easily.
