For the loyal players Dota 2 and Mobile Legends certainly feel familiar with these two figures. Both these figures have a similar appearance, both have a red skin and also armed with a big ax. Who do we come out winners if we both fight? Ax against Balmond!

It should be noted that these are all mere theories of comparison when two heroes have reached the maximum level and both share six game items. The author will try to simulate a fight between Ax against Balmod as fair as possible and try not to bias, even though the author is a fan of Dota 2.

As we know, both are close-range fighter heroes that can function as a toplaner or as a jungler. Ax has strength attribute while Balmod is fighter type. Although there are no attributes such as STR, INT and AGI in Mobile Legends, it can be said that Balmond also has STR attributes.

Both have almost the same skill set, both have the skill area attack by turning the body and swing ax, and have the same ultimate skill, which hit the ax towards the opponent and give effect instant kill if HP opponent under certain percentage.

About Character: Ax

Before entering the next phase of Ax opposite Balmond. First we will discuss about the hero from the red corner of Ax

Dota 2. As we all know, Ax is hero-type strength or STR is usually positioned in position three or sometimes as a jungler.

Ax is a hero that you can either use as an initiator or as an opening war because he has a pretty high endurance both in terms of armor as well in terms of pool HP. But keep in mind by you guys that Ax also has a large enough damage output for the tanker hero.

Ax has four skills: three active skills and one passive skill. Ax's first skill is Berserker Call, this skill makes the opponents around to be forced to attack Ax, and when exposed to this skill they will be exposed to silent can not use the skill. Ax also get 40 bonus armor when this skill is active.

The second skill is Battle Hunger, an active skill that gives magical damage of 40 for 10 seconds. The effects of this skill can be lost if the affected successfully kill creep or hero.

The third skill is Counter Helix, which is Ax's passive skill that is active when Ax is attacked by the opponent, it will rotate the body and swing the ax to inflict damage of 180 in a radius of 275.

The fourth skill is the ultimate of the Ax Culling Blade, which is the skill with the most "creaking" effect if it kills the opponent. Gives instant kill effect when HP opponents are below a certain percentage, telepas of how much their armor.

About Character: Balmond

The Second Content of Ax against Balmond is from a red angle of Balmond's famous fighter-type hero in the land of dawn. Balmond also has a similar appearance to the Ax, has a red skin and also armed with ax.

Balmond is a fighter that you can also use as a tank or as a jungler. Having a skill set that is not much different, Balmond can be very hard to kill if you do not play forcing and be careful. Balmond does not need where in skill execution, therefore this becomes an important point for him.

Balmond also has a total of four skills, namely three active skills and one passive skill. Balmond's first skill is Cyclone Sweep, where he swings his ax and inflicts damage of 50 physical damage for a few seconds to the opponent.

The second skill of Balmond is Soul Lock, with this skill he advanced crashing the opponent that is in front of him, giving damage of 150 physical damage. The opponent will be affected by a slow movement speed of 55 percent for 2.5 seconds

The third skill of Balmond is a passive skill called Bloodthirst, with this skill he gets a 4 percent regeneration effect if he manages to kill the opponent's minions, and 10 percent if he succeeds in killing the opponent's hero.

The fourth skill of Balmod is the ultimate skill, Lethal Counter which is almost like its mechanism with Culling Blade. What distinguishes is, this skill has an area effect so if there is a total clash and many of its HP opponents are dying, Balmond will easily get or kill them all with one ax swing!

The Battle Begin!

Note: Denied creep system owned by Dota 2 will be eliminated to be equivalent to Mobile Legends which also can not do denied creep. But for gold and EXP can only be obtained if they can do last hit.

At the beginning of Ax fight against Balmond or early game, they are still trying to do last hit minions to get EXP and gold. But Balmond will immediately play aggressively by removing his Cyclone Sweep to get last hit and disturb farming from Ax.

Ax tried to retaliate by using his Counter Helix, but it would not be too effective at the start of the game because of minor damage and Balmond could easily fight back with Cyclone Sweep.

After that on the next level Ax tried to counter it by using Berserker Call hers so that he has a pretty good resilience and it might just work because the effect of attack from Cyclone Sweep is physical damage. Remember, the berserker call gives an additional armor to Ax.

Ax tries to inflict additional damage with Battle Hunger skill but it seems ineffective if it is used to Balmond, because he has the advantage of not needing mana for skill, and he can easily kill creeps with Cyclone Sweep, plus regenrasi from his passive skill.

Then the next scenario from Ax opponents Balmond, is the battle both when they have a full set of items or so-called full slot items. Ax uses Blink Dagger, Blade Mail, Heart of Tarrasque, Crimson Guard, Assault Cuiras, and Aghanim Scepter for additional effects on skill.

Balmond will use a build that is not much different, the full tank build as in this article. That is Bloodlust Ax, Oracle, Bloodthirsty King, Immortal, Athena's Shield, and Blade Armor.

If both use items or gear like that and with Ax notes can activate the item that is Blade Mail then the winner of this fight can be ascertained is Ax.

There are several reasons, the first type of damage released by Balmond is physical damage, and we know the set of items from Ax all withstand phsyical attacks, especially the Crimson Guard. Both Axes can be as spam-skillful as Battle Hunger because he has a large pool due to Aghanim Scepter.

Although Balmond has a passive Bloodthirst skill but it will not help much, because the skill is only active when he kills minions or creeps, while the Balmond Cyclone Sweep attack skill has a cooldown time, in contrast to Counter Helix from Ax which is an active passive skill in 0.3 second pause.

In addition, although Balmond has the effect of absorb shield from Athena's Shiled as well as the revive effect of Immortal, it also will not help much. Since the Blade Mail and Assault Cuiras effects add considerable damage to the Ax, not to mention if Ax issued Berserker Call, it is clear that Balmond will not survive Culling Blade.
