Unit testing. Outriders bot veterancy vs braced modao bot line veterancy. Axe throwers mixed veterancy vs braced modao. Axe throwers vs siphonari. Testing was done to test viability of the outriders vs meta units and using axe raiders to rush a clump of units being backed up by siphonari. As you can see axe raiders will rush through the hell fire and can cause havoc in the back line.
