Hello, im very frustrated right now. Ive played a lot of games against krul (im tier 8 simply amazing silver). The thing is that this freaking krul is over power. Unbalanced. it cant be possible that he kills entire teams with just a breaking point and shiversteel and some other items. If anyone has some strategy against this, please help. I dont want to read answers like: "you could try to...bla bla bla". I want to read answers of people who really defeated this freaking heroe + that build, because ive tried everything.

Breaking point+ shiversteel + aegis + fountain.

Thanks.

Even if I'm a kid, I struggle a lot when I battle against krul, so just in case you are going to battle krul, try using ranged heroes like petal, if you use melee heroes, krul will have an easier time using his abilities on you, if you use petal against krul, target the enemy krul and when her juniors start attacking, RUN, the minions will still attack,and when he is running away, chase the krul and end him!

It would help to answer your question if you gave a little info on which hero you like to play the most. I assume that you play Catherine since you use it as your profile pic.

As Catherine, silence him at the start of the fight with Blast Tremor. Your team must ALL focus on Krul at the beginning of the fight. After the 3.5s debuff, then use Merciless Pursuit to stun him. This will give you and your team 5.25s without him able to use his Dead Man's Rush, Spectral Smite or get a healed by his Fountain of Renewal. With all of your team focused on him, that should be enough time to kill him before he is able build any smite stacks or allow Breaking Point to get out of control.

Don't stun him during you silence debuff, since this will shorten the amount of time he will be unable to heal himself with his abilities or from his fountain. I would also recommend an Atlas Pauldron along with a Shiversteel to slow his attack and movement speed, assuring that he can't get away or hurt you too bad while you wipe him off the map.

I usually kill Krul using a strong build of weapon power combined with a shield / serpent mask. I've noticed that he regenerates his health slower, it seems, if he's attacked with weapon power versus crystal power

Krul is not affected by the type of damage he receives in regards to the speed at which he regenerates health. You can slow his attack speed with Atlas Pauldron, and that will reduce the speed he can apply stacks from Spectral Smite. An example of something that will reduce the amount of health he can recover is if he has received mortal wounds from someone, i.e. Fortress's Law of the Claw or Taka's X-Retsu.

Get shield. All of kruls damage comes form 1 crystal ability. If he builds damage then get atlas.

He can only target one person at a time, just kite him while 3 of you focus him. Play Krul yourself and you'll notice the weaknesses very quickly.

Very easy my friend. If he has his shield up just run away from him and he will chase you, but when it`s down you`re turn to hunt him down.
Watch out for the brushes because he is defiantly there the closer you get the more ready Krul is to throw the sword to you.

I prefer buying Aegis or Journey Boots.

I can agree despite the enemy Krul's build, he can be pretty much unstoppable alone. Taking him down alone is something I can't do regardless of which hero I choose, but Krul against Krul pretty much depends on who is faster and timing of abilities.

I went up against an enemy Krul just recently with an ally Krul. Basically long story short, use defense items (ie. Crucible, fountain renewal and reflex block for Tier 2). You really just want to block that stun and escape with some kind of boots if you're alone. It's best if you escape when you have low health because there's no point for two people on your team to die against one enemy. If you think you can hold your ground, it's best to do ranged attacks or double team against him with one ranged ally and one close combat.

I main taka and krul can be a pain sometimes but I can usually take him down pretty easily with a simple hit and run tactic. As long as I don't let him constantly hit me and let him regain health he can go down pretty fast.
