Whirling Axes:

Troll is a master of the axe, learning axe skills in all forms of combat. When in melee form, summons magical axes to whirl around him in a circle, damaging enemies and causing them to have a chance to miss attacks. When in ranged form, Troll hurls a fistful of axes in cone formation. Enemy units hit by the axes are slowed.

This ability is divided into 2. One of them is only available in ranged form, while the other is only available in melee form. Both use separate cooldowns.

Hurls 5 axes towards the targeted direction. Enemy units which are hit are slowed.
