{Bane}Nightmare can set Magina up for a team kill, or allow for an easyescape from him should he attempt an ambush. Fiend's Grip gives you(and your team) 5 seconds of free shots at him, and if you went withNecronomicon then your summons can potentially drain his mana belowVoid or Blink levels. Lastly, Brain Sap is an exact exchange of lifeand is not reduced by his Spell Shield. -Contributed by Guyoverthere07

Heroes:
{Ursa Warrior}Ursa is most deadly when he is allowed to land multiple consecutivehits thanks to Fury Swipes. Axe’s primary mode of operation is to forceenemies to attack him, which means Ursa’s damage will surpass any Helixdamage by a significant margin. Culling Blade also loses effectivenessagainst high health enemies, and any proficient Ursa player will massstrength/health items in mid-late game. Lastly, Helix deals physicaldamage and Ursa is an AGI based hero online gold  so his relatively high armor willeven further reduce Axe’s damage output.
Items:
{2x Bracer}If you've only got 600 health, a Level 1 Culling Blade will kill youwhen you reach 50% health. However if you have 600 base health and 2xBracers (~ 830 health) Axe needs to drop you to about 35% health tokill you. On some heroes, a Vitality/Soul Booster or HoT may be abetter choice, but the idea here is that health boosting items renderCulling Blade less effective.

Heroes:
{Bristleback}Rigwarl’s Bristleback ability passively reduces all damage that istaken from behind (including Rupture if it’s cast from behind). Thisfact, coupled with his run speed and slow spell makes him tough tokill… even when being chased by Strygwyr. Offensively, constantgoo-spam will bring Bloodseeker to a crawl and allow you and your teamto catch a fleeing BS, even with Thirst activated.
{Furion}At higher level play, Furion can be used to make Bloodseeker's lifehell. If you've been Ruptured, you can simply sprout him and attackwhile you wait it out, or just teleport away. His only way of stoppingyour teleport is to cast Bloodrage on you, which significantlyboosts your already high base damage while denying him the boost heneeds. So cast your Sprout/Teleport early if he tries to take you on,and if he cancels with Bloodrage you should use the damage increase toyour benefit and proceed to kill him. If you're lucky enough to laneagainst him, Sprout-harass makes it quite easy to keep him fromleveling quickly. -Contributed by M. E. Winstead
